EVS launches web-based editing app

EVS has launched a web-based editing application, IPD-VIA Create.

Designed in collaboration with Blackbird, IPD-VIA Create is fully integrated into EVS’ ecosystem to allow access to content through a browser-based interface. Used as part of Mediaception Signature, it means that users can perform all the content management and media workflow functions from ingest to playout.

It can be deployed on prem or in the cloud, depending on users’ needs.

Features include a 9x16 video framing effect, a powerful color correction feature, and the choice between Thumbnail and Timeline displays. This is designed to allow storyboard editing, enabling journalists and producers to begin drafting the first cut of their stories in Thumbnail display before it is passed onto more experienced editors to refine in Timeline view. 

Sequences can be exported to any destination, such as Play to Air, social media, or others. IPD-VIA Create sequences are instantly available in craft editing solutions, such as Avid Media Composer or Adobe Premiere Pro.

Nicolas Bourdon, chief marketing officer at EVS, said: “Every single component of our MediaCeption Signature solution has been built on EVS’ deep expertise and experience in live production. And since the edit-while-capture concept is at the heart of everything we do, this is a huge time saver for MediaCeption Signature users who can begin working on their projects while feeds are still being recorded and ingested.

“IPD-VIA Create is an exciting addition to our end-to-end live PAM workflow, as it enables faster and more efficient editing in live production, which ultimately will help production teams reach the finish line faster.”

Blackbird CEO Ian McDonough added: “This is a very exciting moment for Blackbird and EVS. IPD-VIA Create affords end users with a full editing suite embedded in the EVS PAM. The suite has all the same speed, efficiency, and carbon reduction benefits that Blackbird customers enjoy. As part of a seamless end to end workflow, this state-of-the-art solution can rapidly deliver time and cost reduction efficiencies as well as enhancing end user performance through advanced functionality and Blackbird’s highly responsive patented codec.

“The profound knowledge, experience and skills of both companies’ teams have combined to deliver a product we are incredibly proud of and has the potential to unlock huge value for the global media industry for years to come.”
