Scribe at NAB 2008: Editshare
Why can’t we all just get along? From Final Cut Pro to Avid to Smoke to Premiere Pro to Nuke to Combustion to Photoshop to GIMP to 3DStudio Max to Maya to Flame to PFtrack to… well, you get the idea. Apparently Editshare got the idea too — only they got it about 5 years ago and have emerged as a major player in the post production world because they allow just that. Ingest once, use everywhere. Yeah, I know — why hasn’t everybody else figured out how to do this? Well, Editshare seems to be the first to really pull it off — and judging by the size of the booth at NAB and the amount of orange paint they must have used, one can only guess that they have hit the sweet spot in storage and collaboration.
For a production house like ours, this is just the thing to fix a few annoying and not so trivial workflow problems. Oh, and it runs over gigabit ethernet. Yes, that is correct — that is 1 gigabit. They even have a portable system as well, though I wouldn’t want to have to lug it through JFK airport without a luggage cart — and I’m sure the fine security professionals at the TSA would have fun with me and this hunk of burning data love trying to mosey through the security check in.
