Adobe’s Frame.io has announced some new features and tools to help both its enterprise and individual customers. The features include an updated comparison viewer and enterprise customers can now link directly to AWS S3 cloud storage.
New hardware compatibility has also been announced. This includes the recently announced Fujifilm GFX100 II (buy here), Atomos Ninja and Ninja Ultra (buy here) and Accsoon SeeMo and SeeMo Pro (buy here).
Adobe acquired the online collaborative platform Frame.io late last year and brought it into its Creative Cloud suite. But what is Frame.io and how can it help creative teams work better together? DIYP spoke to Michael Cioni from Adobe about the acquisition to find out more.
Frame.io is an interactive online platform that allows teams to connect their video with all of their collaborators. Editors, content creators and clients. Wherever they are in the world they can easily and fully interact in the full creative process.
Just when I thought I could write about something else today, Canon pops up to let us know that they’re announcing a new firmware update for the Canon EOS C300 Mark III and EOS C500 Mark II digital cine cameras. What does this new firmware do? I hear you ask… Well, it adds support for Frame.io Camera to Cloud (C2C). Frame.io C2C allows for lower bandwidth proxies to be beamed over to remote editors across the Internet for collaborative workflows.
You will still need a 3rd party encoding device in order to be able to actually send this footage out to people as the cameras don’t natively have any kind of Interner connectivity, but the new firmware update will provide support for such devices. You’ll have to wait a little while for it, though, as it’s not being released until the end of May. Here’s Canon’s complete press release.
As well as today’s previous announcement from Atomos regarding Frame.io Camera to Cloud (C2C) support in their two new products, the Atomos Connect and Shogun Connect, Frame.io is also announcing more integration features from Teradek products, integration with Viviana Cloud sound recorders and FDX FilmDataBox as well as support for mobile shooters using FiLMiC Pro.
For Frame.io’s Enterprise users, they’ve also announced a new AppleTV app to create a simplified “executive viewing platform”, Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection and Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) to prevent unauthorised viewing and piracy of footage. There’s also new Frame.io integration into FilmLight Baselight colour grading system.
The popular online video collaboration platform Frame.io’s acquisition by Adobe, is now completed, the companies have announced. Adobe’s goal, they say is to use the combination of its video software offerings – such as Photoshop, Premiere Pro and After Effects – with Frame.io’s cloud-based review and approval functionality to “radically accelerate” the creative process.
Frame.io presents over a million users, many of whom are already using Adobe’s applications, and Adobe wants to get more users into the collaborative environment and get rid of what they call disjointed and inefficient workflows.
In their new short film series Masters, Frame.io asked the world’s master filmmakers: “Why do you do, what you do?” In the first episode of this inspiring series, award-winning director Mark Toia shares his experience that will motivate you if you ever feel you’re creating art in vain.
Toia came a long way from a steelworker to an appreciated and paid artist. A teacher once told him that art doesn’t pay… But he couldn’t have been more wrong.
