Random Video — MediaMover — Tools for Avid and FCP

Sort and display all media files related to every online project on your system, regardless of location or the number of editors working on them. See, at a glance, which projects use the most storage space and have been on your system the longest. Generate detailed reports on every project on your system. Easy, built-in backup function.

Managing media files on a non-linear editing system is one of an editor's biggest challenges. MediaMover is the #1 utility for Avid editors who want to get control of their media. MediaMover sorts and separates each project's media files so that you can easily move them, delete them or back them up.

Marquis - Media Highway Technology

Avid and Final Cut Pro editors now have an alternative to costly production storage when laying off large edit sequences. Cache-A archive appliances provide edit workflows with a simple-to-use networked archive solution while Marquis Parking allows the editor to continue to work within the intuitive user interface of the edit system and to lay off works in progress or completed edit sequences. With a simple drag and drop, Marquis Parking consolidates and moves all the sub-clips of Avid edit sequences and Final Cut Pro timelines to Cache-A appliances as a background task.

This tight integration between Marquis Parking and Cache-A archive appliances allows editors to archive off a master reference copy of a finished edit. Or simply review and collect material that may be needed later for another project.
