| | | | EditShare to Show New Project Sharing Integration Via Adobe Premiere Pro Panel at NAB 2013
First step toward deeper integration with Adobe across EditShare product line
EditShare®, the technology leader in shared media storage and end-to-end tapeless workflow solutions, added support for a new content panel on all EditShare Shared Storage systems to its list of new features and integration shown at NAB 2013 (Booth SL9010). The new panel integrates EditShare's advanced project-sharing/project-locking capability directly inside Adobe® Premiere® Pro. With this new feature, editors can now – more easily than ever – store and share their project files in a common central location and know with certainty that only one editor at a time can open a Premiere Project file with "write" access. Subsequent users are restricted to "read only" access until the first user with "write" access gives up that privilege. EditShare prevents multiple users from obtaining "write" access simultaneously and thus promotes a collaborative workflow that eliminates accidental overwrites.
