Little Frog in High Def

I love the general idea, but there are quite a few holes in what they are presenting. The main area of concern is where the files are hosted. How do they get there? What hardware are they on? Lets say your shooting Red Epic 5k at 6:1, a low estimate might be 500gigs per camera per shoot day. Are we then editing native raw or are we going to ProRes? How is that getting onto the mysterious server? Amazon S3 cloud storage? what kind of pipe do you need to get that onto the server

From there, I heard Jason Levine even mention editing on a wireless network, oh and don’t worry if the proxy isn’t food enough then it jus does a fallback to the hi-res stuff, wait how did everyone in the team spread over 6 states just get the hi-res footage? FedX and lots of g-raids?

how does it work with Aja, Black Magic ?

Love the idea..but as Desi used to say “Adobe….you got some splainin to do”

I’m with Ramos here. I have no idea whether this is supposed to be demonstrating collaborative editing over a local network or if in fact this is working with files across states/countries or whatever. My assumption is the former, and I’m guessing you need one super fast machine connected to the original media that takes care of all of the rendering and acts as the server within an office network. In which case, this is nothing new, just something new to Adobe. I might be wrong, but Adobe have given us so little information that all we can do is guess.

Dennis from Adobe here. There is obviously a lot more detail that we need to publish in the future, but let me say that I’m personally very excited about this (knowing the ins and outs) and believe it will be a very big thing for Adobe and our customers moving forward.

Uploading content – obviously there are no shortcuts around here short of uploading proxies. A fat pipe here is essential.

Editing RED on a wireless network – possible and I’ve done it many times as a demo.

Footage and production is centralized so that’s how 6 states get access to the media so whether you are all in an office or spread out, you can edit and create.

I grant that we have more information to share in the future and we look forward to doing just that.
