Simian, the global leader in creative workflow and media management solutions, will unveil its groundbreaking video encoding and uploading app at this year’s South By Southwest Conference in Austin. Designed for production and post-production companies, advertising agencies and other parties that manage large volumes of high-quality media files, the Simian Real Time Video Encoder® simultaneously encodes and uploads video to the cloud.
“The Simian Real Time Video Encoder® is the fastest option available and intuitive for even the most novice user,” explains Simian co-founder Brian Atton. “You simply drag a file to the bucket and the app does the rest.” Simian will be exhibiting at South By Southwest at Booth 405-407.
The Simian Real Time Video Encoder saves time by facilitating the encoding on the user’s local computer, thereby eliminating the need to upload uncompressed video to a web-based application. It also simplifies the encoding process with pre-set profiles that ensure optimal video playback on all platforms.
Atton notes that Real Time Video Encoder is especially beneficial for companies that manage large media libraries or work with broadcast-quality video. These files can take hours to upload and are often incompatible with most web-based applications. “With Real Time, we’ve eliminated the delays and ensured proper playback consistently across all platforms,” Atton says.

It features a host of innovative tools for managing media libraries, creating and distributing reel presentations, managing projects, tracking sales and marketing activities, and building custom microsites. Advertising agencies, film, television and commercial production companies, music producers and a host of other creative companies worldwide rely on Simian to efficiently manage their media.

“ฦvolution” Comes Full Circle At The Chelsea Film Festival
The Chelsea Film Festival, running from October 16th through October 20th, 2024, at Regal Cinemas here in Union Square, is set to host the East Coast premiere of ฦvolution, a thought-provoking experimental micro-short film that proves big ideas can come in small packages and in perfect circles.
In just 1 minute 16 seconds, this cinematic gem by Award-Winning Director Romina Schwedler, with original music by Argentine Composer Ignacio Montoya Carlotto, explores a cycle as old as time: life leads to progress, progress leads to destruction, and destruction, well, leads back to life. But is this vicious circle unbreakable? ฦvolutionย suggests the answer is yes, unless we decide to open our eyes.
Inspired by the overwhelming number of recent events that threaten human existence,ย ฦvolution, possibly the shortest film in this 12th edition of the festival, plays out entirely through the symbolism of circles, cleverly illustrating โin the blink of an eyeโ the repeating patterns of history, and confronting viewers with the uncomfortable truth that our so-called โprogressโ may, in fact, be guiding us to our own ruin.Premiering at the Regal 14 Union Square, New York City, on October 18, 2024, at 11 a.m., Romina Schwedler's micro-short, featuring Leah Young with cinematography by Alan J. Carmona, will be sure to spark conversations longer than the film itself!

With a string of festival appearances across the globe, including CineGlobe at CERN (Switzerland/France), Oscarยฎ... Read More
