EditShare, the technology leader that enables storytellers to create and manage collaborative media workflows, has been selected as a winner in the 2021 NAB Show Product of the Year Award competition Cloud Computing and Virtualization category for its innovation in remote workflows for mixed editing environments. The NAB Show Product of the Year Awards recognizes the most significant and promising new products and technologies being showcased by exhibitors. EditShare has landed in the sought after NAB Product of the Year winners circle three years in a row: in 2019 for its EFS storage security capabilities and again in 2020 for its editing in the cloud solution EFSv. The 2021 winning submission, Universal Media Projects which ships as part of the FLOW media management solution, brings together Premiere Pro, Media Composer and DaVinci Resolve to enable a frictionless remote workflow. From anywhere, editors have real time access to assets and can collaborate freely in a mixed editing environment. Universal Media Projects seamlessly manages behind the scenes all the necessary project data – sequences, clips, bin, and markers – between the various editorial tools.
“Pulling together a workflow that fits any particular production can be complex, especially with the varying openness of these editing applications,” states Stephen Tallamy, CTO, EditShare. “EditShare has developed a universal view of media projects that can be interacted with in real time yet still work within the constraints of the various tools. We are thrilled that NAB has recognized the benefit this new innovation brings to remote collaboration and look forward to bringing Universal Media Project to our customers soon!”
FLOW Universal Media Projects is currently in early field trials and intended to launch in beta in early 2022 followed by general availability. To learn more about, please visit https://editshare.com/products/flow-media-management/.

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.
