PostHero Launches: Remote Editing Solutions using Blackmagic Cloud Store

Source: Secret Weapon Studios

Secret Weapons Studios has a remote post workflow solution called PostHero, which utilizes Blackmagic's Cloud Store and Store Mini networking products.

9-Person Post Team, 80 TB, All Remote

The first project to use PostHero was an unscripted series.

  • Post Supervisor in New York had an 80TB Blackmagic Cloud Store with all the raw media and proxies

  • 8 remote team members had a Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini with the proxies

  • Proxies synced to the Cloud Store Minis via Dropbox

  • Team was connected via Blackmagic Cloud, which hosted the project library

Everyone on the team had the same media on their desks thanks to the Cloud Store Minis, and the entire remote team was connected in real time via Blackmagic Cloud. If an assistant editor made an edit or added a clip, everyone else got it immediately. The editors set permissions and controlled what assistant editors worked on what bins.
