New cloud feature receives accolades as revolutionary way to utilize the cloud in post-production Las Vegas, Nevada: ELEMENTS, developer of advanced solutions for unrestricted collaboration in shared media workflows, is proud to announce that Studio Daily has awarded ELEMENTS Click a Prime Award 2018 in the Collaborative Workflow category as a game-changing new product. The award was presented to Alistair Washburn, director of sales EMEA (left), and Roger Beck, director of solutions architecture USA (right) at NAB 2018. StudioDaily commented: “Elements took a sleek, no-nonsense approach to media sharing for post-production. Riding on top of an Elements SAN or NAS system, Click automatically generates watermarked proxies, uploads them to cloud for review and annotation, then syncs everything back to the facility’s MAM. For Elements customers, this is integration done right.” Embedded in ELEMENTS Media Library, Click allows all workstations connected to the central storage to share assets through a private cloud, directly from within ELEMENTS’ GUI. With a simple mouse click every operator from any workstation, even those without direct internet access, can initiate the upload and create a link to the specific video in the cloud, or leverage the “auto-upload” functionality that allows operators to automatically load assets to a new cloud-hosted web platform for easy external access. Identical to the use of the Media Library as a communication portal, viewers accessing the assets through the cloud can leave comments and even drawings on the image. All annotations are integrated and synced to ELEMENTS Media Library.
