Revolutionizing Post-Production: Real-Time Collaboration in the Cloud

FLEX Cloud

A comprehensive, turnkey solution that streamlines remote collaboration and enables real-time video editing in the cloud.

FLEX Cloud is a customizable post-production platform on AWS, designed for real-time editing, multi-layer timeline performance, and remote collaboration. With scalable storage, media management, and optimized compute resources for editing, VFX, and finishing, it ensures fast, secure production. Its flexible architecture adapts to project needs, while EditShare’s turnkey deployment simplifies setup, controls costs, and offers advanced monitoring tools.

Your Scale: Build and expand workflows to meet the needs of your growing operations

FLEX Cloud is built to scale with your business, ensuring that your post-production environment can grow with your needs. Whether you’re a small media house or a large production studio, FLEX Cloud enables you to expand your workflows dynamically as your operations evolve. Add new users, more storage, and even more processing power on demand to meet tight production deadlines or accommodate high-volume projects, all while maintaining the same level of performance and efficiency. This scalability ensures that your workflows remain agile and adaptable, whether you’re managing daily content creation or large-scale, high-budget theater productions.

Completely agnostic: Bring your own NLE or VFX

FLEX Cloud is designed to integrate with your preferred non-linear editing (NLE) software, offering true flexibility for creative teams. Whether you’re using Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, DaVinci Resolve, or any other NLE, FLEX Cloud  ensures smooth compatibility, allowing editors to continue working in their familiar environments. This agnostic approach reduces the need for costly software migrations and minimizes workflow disruption so that teams can focus on the creative process without being constrained by technology choices.

Your cloud: Implement FLEX in your cloud account for security and cost-effectiveness

With FLEX Cloud, your media assets and post-production workflows remain under your control by being implemented directly within your own cloud account. This ensures maximum security as your media never leaves your infrastructure, eliminating the risks associated with third-party control. Additionally, by deploying FLEX Cloud in your own account, you have the flexibility to manage costs effectively, only paying for the resources you need. This allows you to optimize both security and expenditure, making it a highly cost-effective solution that grows with your production demands.

Rapidly Grow Your Facility: Instantly Spin Up and Down VFX or Editing Workstations

With FLEX Cloud, you can easily spin up virtual workstations and scale them down as needed, all through an intuitive user interface. This streamlined process allows you to quickly allocate resources for high-demand projects and stop them when they are no longer needed, optimizing both performance and cost. The UI simplifies the management process, making it easy for users to handle cloud workstations without technical expertise.

What’s included

FLEX Cloud offers a comprehensive suite of software features tailored specifically for media production, providing a lightweight yet powerful asset management layer. This adaptable workflow environment integrates tightly with popular NLE packages such as Adobe, Avid, Apple, Blackmagic, and Autodesk, allowing collaboration across production teams. Powered by EditShare’s FLOW, FLEX Cloud enables users to efficiently ingest, index, manage, automate, and share video assets across workgroups, streamlining the entire post-production process. Whether you’re working with a small team or managing large-scale productions, FLEX Cloud offers the flexibility to manage assets with ease while ensuring maximum efficiency and collaboration.

The software-defined storage layer in FLEX Cloud makes full use of AWS services, providing a highly optimized cost/performance balance that can easily scale to your production needs. FLEX Cloud is powered by the EditShare File System (EFS), which can function either as a single storage node or as part of a clustered environment. This flexibility allows you to scale up or down based on your needs, giving you full control over both bandwidth and storage capacity.

Editing in the cloud is simplified with remotely accessible virtual workstations that support your preferred editing software, providing an open and flexible environment. Powered by pre-configured Amazon Machine Instances (AMIs), the platform offers tailored support for virtualized editing workflows, allowing integration with both cloud and on-premises storage. To enhance performance, the solution includes CloudDat file transfer acceleration, enabling high-speed uploads from any location, making it ideal for distributed teams. Integrated workstation management through HP Anyware ensures efficient control over virtual resource usage, helping organizations manage cloud resources and costs effectively while optimizing computing power for maximum productivity.

EditShare SwiftLink is a powerful solution designed to facilitate remote workflows for media production teams. It enables users to access, edit, and collaborate on video content from various locations while ensuring high-performance data transfer and media management. The best thing, use your existing workstation to connect to the FLEX cloud instance.

EditShare FLEX Cloud offers a game-changing solution for media production teams by enabling true real-time collaboration in the cloud. With its plug-and-play functionality, FLEX Cloud eliminates the pain of complex configurations, allowing teams to immediately begin working on cloud-based workflows. A key pain point it addresses is the challenge of remote collaboration, providing seamless synchronization across multiple locations and global teams.

Scalability

FLEX Cloud  grows with your needs, allowing you to dynamically add users, storage, and processing power on demand, ensuring you meet production deadlines efficiently.

Flexibility

The platform is completely agnostic, meaning you can continue using your preferred NLE or VFX software like Adobe or DaVinci, avoiding the costs and disruptions of software migrations.

Cost-Effectiveness

By deploying in your own cloud account, you retain full control over media and resources, ensuring maximum security while optimizing costs to fit your production needs.

Ease of Use

With rapid deployment and no need for lengthy setup, FLEX Cloud allows teams to focus on creativity rather than technical details. Remote editing with virtual workstations and accelerated file transfers makes cloud editing fast and seamless.

FLEX Cloud streamlines your post-production processes, enabling agile, scalable, and secure workflows that transform how you collaborate—no matter the size of your operation.
