Medway makes Avid work flow
Medway enabled a complete digital workflow ensuring Edit Platforms, MAMs, Video Servers and Archive Systems can work seamlessly together.
Medway is a cloud and ground media-savvy middleware, widely used in the industry by many organisations such as Discovery, CBS, BBC, RTVE, MDR and ABS-CBN. Usually it is used to integrate network contacted and incompatible systems, such as post-production, DAM, transmission and media servers.
Intelligent media file, metadata, control and status management are key to the operation of Medway. However, with Medway the level of granularity and quality of these integrations is technically far superior to any other cloud or ground based system or service,
It is a simple concept; Medway integrates incompatible systems, It also manages incompatible media and metadata, presenting it in a way that interoperates easily between multiple systems.
However, for many applications this capability is useful, but not enough for more sophisticated workflows and use cases. In this short explanation we describe why Medway is a more useful infrastructure component and why it has more capability and why it’s a better strategic choice when considering both ground and cloud based workflows.

In nearly 30 years’ as one of the media industry’s leading suppliers and support partners, we’ve seen Premiere Pro’s popularity skyrocket, taking over the creative agencies, sport organisations, winning over ITV and even being adopted by household names like David Fincher.

The latest incarnation features Productions, a powerful new toolkit for managing multi-project workflows. Large complex workflows can be divided into manageable projects, which editors can collaborate on using shared local storage. Assets can be shared between projects within a Production, without creating duplicate files. And large scale projects can be broken into reels or episodes where multiple editors collaborate according to their preferred workflow using a shared storage network.

If you want to get started with Premiere Pro, expand your Adobe workflow or learn more about Productions, we’re the ones to ask. As an Adobe Platinum Reseller, we offer the best possible pricing on Adobe licences, and as an Adobe Systems Integration Partner, we can help you build a streamlined Premiere Pro workflow with optimised hardware and infrastructure.

Mistika VR is an affordable Virtual Reality focused software solution for optical flow stitching that achieves speeds quicker than real-time for a 4K VR media encoding and stabilizes 360º footage in just one simple click. It has truly revolutionized the way multi-camera stitching is done and reduced the time taken to correct footage from hours to minutes - all at the highest possible quality. It is built on high-end Mistika Technology that is accessible for the masses with flexible payment options, based on a pay-per-use business model. SGO has been consistently improving Mistika VR with several significant upgrades, introducing various new features and other exciting improvements, contributing to a much more efficient VR 360º post-production workflow. Importantly, many of the VR camera manufacturers have adopted Mistika VR as a first choice solution providing metadata which ensures a faster, better and more precise stitch.
Mistika VR integrates VR 360 and other immersive formats in the workflow of traditional post-production pipelines, solving all the particularities of the media while sufficiently overlapping with further stages in the production chain.
In principle, the complexity to integrate this format comes due to following facts: First, VR 360º is normally based on rigs with many cameras, so they are difficult to process with traditional post-production pipelines based on one camera per shot. Secondly, The particular problems of the format itself: Geometry alignment, stitching, Stereo3D / depth grading, color matching between the cameras, stabilization in a 360 environment. Mistika VR is focused on solving all those points, and then deliver a traditional 2D image (or one per eye) in the most common formats used for post-production.
Mistika VR is based on the following ingredients:
Low-cost business model and pay per use. VR requires high-end technology, but short productions do not justify high-end investments in permanent infrastructure (at least until the market is mature). Mistika VR is available to download for Windows and macOS with flexible payment options on a subscription basis from just $60 a month.
High performance, even with small resources. Mistika technology is 100% based on GPU and has been being optimized for more than 20 years of Mistika Technology development. In the last year, SGO has been able to squeeze the most advanced high-end optical flow engine into small computers, even laptops, which is vital for the success in these environments.
High-end quality for the masses. Many VR camera solutions provide basic stitching capabilities for VR 360 formats. But past the novelty factor, VR 360 magic demands the ultimate image quality that is required to immerse us in a virtual world. The Mistika VR mission is to take the “frameless” format to the next level and making sure it is here to stay.
A complete solution encapsulating all the multi-camera tasks. The idea to start with Mistika VR and then use traditional resources would not be possible if one or more tasks requiring multiple camera manipulation are left out of the workflow. For this reason, Mistika VR covers not only the image stitching but also all other important tasks such as color matching, stabilization, Stereo3D adjustments, Keyframe Animation, etc.
Uniquely, Mistika VR functionality is perfectly integrated into the Mistika Ultima finishing solution used by studios and high-end facilities, thus covering the entire range of potential projects. This allows enhanced collaboration between small and big players and the flexibility to grow with new companies that are evolving to create various immersive experiences.

Alex4D 360° Effects works exclusively with Apple’s Final Cut Pro 10.4 and later. This kit of simple to use effects range from effects that stylise whole spheres of video to those that help viewers notice specific features of the 360° environment. As well as working with spheres of video, they also work with overlays such as logos, pictures and titles.

Alex4D 360° Effects includes three free plugins that can instantly save time in spherical video production.

The pack is divided into six categories: Repeat – to repeat footage and overlays around the sphere, Highlight – to attract attention to specific parts of the environment, Blur – blur parts of your footage and overlays, Stylize – to change the look of whole spheres at a time, Masks – to help overlay areas of 360° content inside other spheres and Flat – to make more of 360° footage used in flat non-spherical videos.

Final Cut Pro X is the best NLE for making 360° videos. Alex4D 360° Effects can be used to make videos destined for Facebook, YouTube and Twitter whose applications and websites can now display 360° videos automatically.

Alex4D Animation Transitions is a pack of Final Cut Pro X transitions you can use to easily animate graphics, text and clips onto and off the screen.

Add instant character to logos, text, graphic elements and even video clips by springing, bouncing, sliding and skidding them onto and off the screen.

Easy to apply, easy to make changes without having to work with keyframes.

As well as working in 16:9 for HD and 4K video, Alex4D Animation Transitions work in any aspect ratio from super-wide (48:9) to super tall (9:48). This is specially useful when making videos for social media services that require square and vertical video such as Instagram, Twitter, Apple News and IG TV.

Alex Gollner develops Final Cut Pro X plugins for broadcasters for use on TV programmes, websites and social media.

These include titles, generators, effects and transitions that work in any aspect ratio. Start in one: 16:9, 1:1 or 9:16 for example, copy your timeline to any other aspect ratio and the plugins will reconfigure themselves with new layouts - including options for TV-safe areas for 16:9 and ‘social safe’ areas for 1:1 and 9:16 timelines.

Recent plugins Alex has developed have been used to make videos shown on broadcaster websites alongside broadcaster accounts on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Apple News, Instagram and IG TV.
