South African Post Facility Leverages EditShare Workflow for Efficient Media Management
Magnatude Facilities, a division of Okuhle Media Group, has deployed EditShare's XStream EFS 300 scale-out storage platform and Flow media asset management to streamline its post-production workflow.
The Cape Town-based facility was previously using an aging RAID setup that struggled to support media-intensive workflows. With the new EditShare solution, Magnatude Facilities can now efficiently manage its media assets and collaborate on projects with ease.
EditShare Workflow Boosts Productivity
According to Ryan Sheraton, live director and post-production supervisor at Okuhle Media Group, the implementation of Flow has revolutionized the way they interact with and search for existing footage. 'With Flow, we can basically just type in 'Table Mountain' and the raw footage appears,' he says.
The facility's previous setup was plagued by inefficiencies, with editors having to physically locate specific assets or reshoot material that was already available. With EditShare, Magnatude Facilities can now easily access project files and collaborate on projects simultaneously.
Scalability and Flexibility
EditShare's XStream EFS 300 scale-out storage platform provides a flexible infrastructure that can be expanded as needed. This allows Magnatude Facilities to grow its business without compromising system performance.
'EditShare solutions have given us the confidence to approach larger and more complex projects,' says Sheraton. 'We know these systems can take the heat.'
