A full edit suite, opened in a browser.
A powerful computer with the editing software, beside the film's footage, opened from any laptop and paid for by the hour. Nothing is downloaded, and nothing leaves.
Editors work on the film's proxies where they are, with nothing copied to a disk that leaves the room. The camera originals never reach the edit.
On the editor's own Mac
From the menu bar of the desktop app, the film's proxies appear as a drive, a folder for each shoot day, and the editing software opens them as it opens any drive.
Coming The same drive on Windows.
Within two minutes, the key on their Mac no longer opens anything. Nothing was copied to their disk to stay behind.
The notes left on dailies go to the cutting room as markers for Avid, Premiere or Resolve, each at its file's own timecode, so the editor sees them where they belong.
