Media Production Firms Black Spot and Luminosity Entertainment Go Remote with Avid | Edit On Demand Cloud Video Editing Solution
16 December 2021 - 2:25AM
Black Spot Media Group and Luminosity Entertainment are the latest
among a growing roster of media production companies leveraging
Avid’s® (Nasdaq: AVID) Edit On Demand SaaS-based, virtual post
production environment in the cloud. Numerous media creation teams
have used Avid | Edit On Demand to enable seamless collaboration on
film and TV projects from anywhere with Avid Media Composer®
editing software and Avid NEXIS® cloud storage. Black Spot and
Luminosity Entertainment will share their experiences using Edit On
Demand in a webinar tomorrow.
Since the launch of Edit On Demand, Avid has worked closely with
production teams in film, television and post to shape a user
experience that is virtually indistinguishable from on-premises
editing. Production teams can spin up virtualized Media Composer
systems with Avid NEXIS cloud storage within a few hours, giving
editors and other users access to their tools and workflows from
anywhere.
Raúl Alba, Avid’s Director of Solutions Marketing, Media and
Cloud said, “Avid | Edit On Demand simplifies our customers’
ability to embrace the cloud for remote collaboration. Setting up
in just a matter of hours, the solution lets remote editing teams
access their workflows and stay on time to deliver projects on
stringent deadlines. Black Spot and Luminosity are great examples
of innovative production companies that are leading the journey to
the cloud, powered by Avid | Edit On Demand with secure editing and
storage resources for a truly collaborative remote workforce.”
Learning from the rapid uptake of remote working, Avid has
continued to deliver a range of new Edit On Demand features and
enhancements for deployment, security, support, monitoring, logging
and storage, among others.
John Laskas, Creative Director/Founder at Black Spot Media Group
commented, “With the Avid | Edit On Demand subscription service, we
were able to provide our editing teams with virtualized Media
Composer systems and Avid NEXIS cloud storage across several time
zones. Thanks to Edit on Demand, we’re able to collaborate
around-the-clock with teams at a scale that we could never have
entertained previously, delivering far more content than before and
within our clients’ increasingly tight timelines.”
“Avid | Edit On Demand enabled our production team to
immediately access and start cutting a project in the cloud. This
shortened our delivery time and allowed us to take on more
projects,” said Chris Rash, Post Production Supervisor at
Luminosity Entertainment. “The Avid | Edit On Demand subscription
provided us with a complete post production solution without the
significant cost of purchasing the hardware.”
