New integrations with Adobe applications for remote teams to debut at Adobe MAX online conference.
axle ai is excited to announce a major expansion to its lineup of integrations for the Adobe® Creative Cloud® applications. In addition to upgrades to its popular panel for Adobe Premiere® Pro, the makers of radically simple remote video search have added new panel integrations for After Effects®, Photoshop®, InDesign®, and Illustrator®.
The axle ai panels allow users to remotely access and search their media catalog and import files to projects created in Adobe applications – all within their familiar Adobe app interfaces. The panel set comes standard with axle ai 2020.2, the newest version of axle ai’s flagship software. The company will be demonstrating the solution at next week’s Adobe MAX worldwide event (free signup at https://max.adobe.com), and at axle ai’s Webinar Wednesday events over the next two weeks (free signups at https://tinyurl.com/webwed00 for October 21st, and https://tinyurl.com/webwed02 for October 28th)
axle ai 2020.2 includes:
- Integrated remote access tools including browser-based search, upload and download
- Support for a wide range of Adobe Creative Cloud applications and workflows, including Premiere Pro, Photoshop, After Effects, Illustrator and InDesign
- Integrated speech transcription for video and audio assets, and OCR for photo and document assets, massively improving searchability without labor-intensive tagging
- Modules supporting multiple professional camera formats and image sequence workflows, increasing axle ai's appeal in the high end of the post production market
Scott Salik, VP of Global Content at marketing company Youngevity, said “axle’s new Premiere panel has really useful new capabilities like integrated transcripts on the timeline and the ability to download high-res and proxy media straight into Premiere. We’re excited to be able to integrate this into our remote editorial workflows – it will be an incredible time saver.”
axle ai’s new Remote Leap solution, which includes all the software, hardware and services required to set up a full remote workflow for a team of 5 creatives, is priced at $295 per month on a four-year lease with a $1 buyout. The Remote Leap Bundle includes the entire Adobe Creative Cloud integration panel set, four years of remote access support, and 2,000 hours of transcription. Any Mac, Windows or Linux system with 6 or more CPU cores can be used to host the axle server software, which can also be deployed in the cloud for all-remote applications.
“Our flagship video search software, with integrated remote access, has been helping teams maintain their workflows as more and more organizations make the move to remote work during COVID-19. Our new Adobe panels take this one step further, enabling video editors to efficiently and easily collaborate on media projects while working from home,” said axle ai CEO Sam Bogoch. “With axle ai, any web browser connects your entire media library to Adobe Creative Cloud.”

Simian Gets An Evolutionary Boost For Collaboration, Reveals “Teams”
Simian, the showreel-building, review & approval, and production asset management platform used globally by creative leaders, is kicking off this fall season with a substantial leap forward for collaboration and project management – with more updates on the way during the holidays!
The new feature, aptly dubbed “Teams”, makes it easier than ever for users to give project responsibilities to team members and clients alike. “You can never have too many options when it comes to permission levels,” says Jay Brooks, Simian’s Chief Technology Officer. “Teams provides a streamlined way to assign multiple users to a project at once.”
“Teams are very powerful, but creating one is effortless,” Brian Atton, Simian’s Chief Operating Officer explains. “Simply enter a Team name, add members, and then apply the newly made Team to any desired project. You can even invite temporary guests without changing settings for other projects or needing to create a new Team.”
“We love helping our clients by providing efficient tools to improve their workflow, and this has been a frequently requested feature as of late,” shares Kellie Atton, Head of Sales at Simian. “It feels great to get Teams out into the wild because I know it’s going to be tremendously helpful to everyone who uses it”.
Teams is now available exclusively to Simian’s enterprise clients. Simian plans to release more product upgrades and enhancements during Q4 2024 and 2025 for enterprise and non-enterprise users, continuing its ongoing evolution as the industry’s leading production asset management solution.
