Overview

EditShare FLEX Cloud is a configurable cloud post-production platform that delivers real-time editing, multi-layer timeline performance, scalable media storage, and integrated media management. It’s built to run on public cloud infrastructure, and it enables distributed teams to spin up virtual workstations, access high-performance shared storage, and collaborate securely using integrated media management. FLEX supports common NLEs and VFX apps, offers automated transfer and sync tools, and is designed to scale from small facilities to large studios while maintaining low-latency editing and predictable costs.

Features and Capabilities

• Deployment & Scalability: FLEX can be deployed into cloud environments (including modular deployments) and scaled on demand — add users, storage, and compute as projects grow. This enables studios to spin up production-ready environments quickly without heavy on-prem IT.
• Real-time Editing & Workstations: Provides low-latency, real-time editing workflows with virtual workstations for editors, VFX and finishing artists, supporting multi-layer timelines and heavy codecs.
• Media-Optimized Storage: Integrates with shared, media-optimized storage to deliver the bandwidth editors need for high-bitrate formats and to avoid dropped frames.
• Media Management & Automation: Includes asset management for ingest, metadata, search, proxies, review/approval and automation (tagging, transcoding, archiving)—so teams can manage assets and approvals centrally.
• Hybrid & Sync Capabilities: Offers sync/transfer tools to synchronize on-prem projects and media with cloud object storage, enabling hybrid workflows and cloud backups without disrupting editor workflows.
• NLE & Tool Integrations: Works with major NLEs (Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut) and common creative toolchains so editors can use preferred applications.
• Security & Control: Deploy into your cloud account for predictable costs and tighter security control; supports role-based access and administrative controls for multi-site teams.
• Turnkey & Monitoring: Offers turnkey bundles and administration/monitoring tools to simplify setup, manage costs and monitor production health for cloud studios.
• Use Cases & Target Workflows: Designed for broadcast, post-production, sports, corporate and education workflows that need collaborative editing, remote review/approval, and scalable storage/compute.
