Workflows

eMAM allows collaboration between technical and non-technical users on creative projects

Video professionals.

Editors and designers can download integrated extension panels for Adobe Creative Cloud apps from the eMAM web interface. They can access the media including all. of the projects and categories of the eMAM system from within their applications. They can search and preview media, review the metadata, view the history, and more. eMAM managed clips or projects can be brought into the timeline along with local media.

The system has full production asset management tools. Projects can be checked into and out of the system. Original and mezzanine edit media can be stored in AWS S3 tiers, NICE, and FSX, Lucid Link, Microsoft Blob, Google GCP, IBM COS, Wasabi, Qumolo, and Alibaba. Editors can edit on original resolution or mezzanine edit media versions by downloading, linking, streaming (Drastic Technology’s Media Reactor) or remote access with Teradici or other tools. Editors have access to all of the media in all of the locations and tiers. An extension in Final Cut allows similar functionality and with partner technologies, Avid editors can collaborate.

Projects can be sent for review and approval with feedback and markers sent from the web interface or from the email links. Projects can be finished with a final conform from local or cloud storage.

Non-technical users

From the web interface, authorized users can search and browse media, add them to projects and create bins. On the preview play, users can add markers and sub clip the media. Users can create a timeline sequence and drag/drop media or sub clips. These can be previewed and shared with others. From the web interface, users can also interact with new or historical editing projects

Still and Motion Graphics Artists

The extension panel in After Effects can support similar workflows including MOGRT files. Panels inside Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign allow different creatives to work together.

eMAM can provide powerful and affordable solutions to power storage and archive needs.

Storage:

eMAM is a full media asset management system, which can manage content in multiple locations and types: DAS, NAS, SAN, cloud storage, and archive. eMAM supports numerous manufacturers, so organizations can choose the best solution to fit the needs for performance and budget. eMAM can manage different storage tiers, allowing an organization to minimize spending or expensive primary storage while preserving easy access to all content.

Archive:

eMAM can manually archive any number of assets, projects, or categories. The system can automatically do so for inactive files after a certain number of days, or once a certain condition is met. eMAM can archive editing projects, completed material, or original camera files from an Adobe extension panel or the web interface. eMAM will make copies of media used in other editing projects before archive to ensure needed media does not go offline. eMAM retains all metadata and proxy copies for archived files, so all media can be quickly found for future needs. Users can restore content from an extension panel or the web interface, with partial restores available from supported third party systems.
