Adobe introduces cloud photography to Frame.io

Apr 27, 2023 by John Aldred Add Comment

One of the big announcements from Adobe at NAB 2023 is the addition of photography to their Frame.io cloud collaboration platform. While Frame.io has been used for collaborating on video products for a while now, photography is a new genre for the system. We stopped by the booth while were at the show to chat with Michael Cioni, Senior Director of Global Innovation at Adobe to learn more about it.

While still in its early days, it already looks quite impressive and it’s even supported natively by Fujifilm X series cameras. Adobe’s goal with this new photography workflow is to essentially eliminate memory cards, and allow direct remote storage straight from your camera to the cloud.

This DIY wooden rig makes your DSLR or mirrorless feel more like a cinema camera

Since Nikon introduced video to DSLRs,the biggest complaint has been about the form factor of DSLRs. When Canon released the 5D Mark II, the demand for these cameras for video work surged. I’ve seen reports stating that as high as 40% of 5D Mark II sales were to video production companies. But, the ergonomics are just wrong. Today, there are many companies selling all kinds of cages and doohickies you can bolt onto your cameras to make them more useful.

But what if you could build your own? What if you could customise it to your own specific needs? That’s what Caleb Pike at DSLR Video Shooter wondered, and so he set out to build his own. He used about $240 worth of materials and components to build his rig, but you could probably build it for a lot less depending your needs and what bargains you find.
