CATDV DEBUTS ENHANCED MAM SUPPORT FOR ADOBE ARTISTS
AT NAB 2015 (SL5025)
Simple new integrations enable more powerful and efficient content sharing
Stratford-upon-Avon, UK, XXXX, 2015 – Square Box Systems (www.squarebox.com), leading developer of digital media asset management (DAM/MAM) systems, will debut two simple-but-powerful integrations that enable faster and even more efficient content sharing between CatDV and Adobe Premiere Pro® CC editorial software and Adobe® Anywhere For Video real-time collaborative platform, during NAB 2015, 13-16 April, Las Vegas (#SL5025).
CatDV is renowned for its of ease of integration with third party systems, and Square Box Systems has previously worked closely with Adobe to integrate the workflow capabilities between the companies’ respective systems, enabling Adobe Premiere Pro CC editors to maximise creative productivity for several years.
Building on this long-term, robust technology integration, the addition of new Advanced CatDV Premiere Panels, plus in-built extensions to CatDV, enable content to be shared even more easily by Adobe artists. These advances support a huge range of efficient production and post-production workflows for Adobe Premiere Pro CC and Adobe Anywhere For Video.
Harnessing the powerful search, preview, tracking and media management features of CatDV, content can now be seamlessly shared and managed between Premiere Pro CC and Adobe Anywhere productions directly from CatDV 11. CatDV can track when content is sent to Adobe Anywhere, making it easy to see how content is used across productions.
Alternatively, local and Anywhere media can be shared and managed via an Advanced CatDV Premiere panel that is elegantly integrated within Adobe Premiere Pro CC. Adobe Premiere Pro CC is included in Adobe Creative Cloud® along with the most up-to-date versions of other favourite Adobe desktop apps, such as Photoshop® CC, After Effects® CC, Illustrator® CC, and more.
Advanced CatDV Premiere panel licences are provided free-of-charge with each CatDV desktop licence, and additional licences can be purchased. CatDV for Adobe Anywhere pricing is available on request.
“In practice, CatDV assets can now be added to Adobe projects and productions at the press of a button,” said Dave Clack, CEO at Square Box Systems. “CatDV tracks when media has been sent, making it easy for users to see which assets are being used and where. This further tightening of the integration between CatDV and Adobe platforms delivers a seamless media sharing experience and enables new levels of efficient and collaborative creativity that Adobe artists will really appreciate.”
“Content creators are always on the look-out for time, labour and costs saving features to assist productive production and post, whilst maintaining creativity,” said a spokesperson at Adobe. “Adobe Premiere Pro CC and Adobe Anywhere give creative artists rich, collaborative toolsets, and with CatDV Adobe Panels they now have even greater power to access and manage media with unprecedented speed and precision.”
