Overview - What is Cloud Companion for Final Cut Server

Asset Management - Meet the Cloud

MediaSilo's Cloud Companion for Final Cut Server synchronizes media between a local FCSvr network and the cloud, allowing external users to browse clips, search for media, collaborate, and manage content remotely.

Workflows

Today's production workflows extend beyond the office: New footage comes in from the field, assets have to be managed locally, and external stakeholders need to review and approve media in minutes. Cloud Companion lets you mirror an internal asset library in the cloud, ingest files from external sources, review and approve content through a visual interface, manage metadata, and much more.

MediaSilo's collaboration platform offers workflow modules that are designed to save time and boost your productivity. From web broadcast to human-powered transcriptions and digital signage management, Cloud Companion is the gateway to increased productivity and smoother workflows.

Security Benefits

Securing assets is a key concern to any IT manager. By implementing a proxy-based online mirror of your Final Cut Server library, you eliminate the need to open up a local network to external users. Not allowing outside access is the best measure to protect against data theft and the proposed workflows in this document aid in achieving tight security of your media library. Implementing Cloud Companion as a mirror to your library also reduces the need for expensive Internet connectivity. Most common cable and even DSL connections will suffice in a proxy based workflow with MediaSilo.

Easy Integration

Cloud Companion uses FCSvr's existing metadata and proxy creation capabilities to create a bridge between your local network and the cloud - all without additional software and without any upfront investment.
