Features

Empower collaboration

Create more content faster, together

With MediaCentral | Production Management, you gain the efficiency your teams need to create and deliver a wider range of multimedia-rich content to a wider audience across multiple television, web, mobile, and social media channels. This new integrated workflow makes it easier to create, collaborate, manage, and deliver a wider range of content faster.

Enable editors to connect

With the MediaCentral | Panel for Media Composer or MediaCentral | Panel for Adobe Premiere Pro CC, editors can connect into your MediaCentral | Production Management workflow—right inside their editing interface. This enables them to search for media across your MediaCentral environment and add any clip or sequence to their project bins with a single click for editing.

Work from anywhere

Through the simple graphical MediaCentral | Cloud UX web or mobile app interface, journalists, producers, assistants, loggers, reviewers, media managers, and administrators can connect and access a variety of task-focused tools—specific to their job role and functions—from anywhere, using any device. Search, browse, do multi-camera logging, basic editing, review and approve, build complete news packages, and more while non-creative tasks are handled in the background.

Connect with others

MediaCentral | Production Management unites people, media, and workflows together—regardless of location—so you can all complete projects faster and more confidently, together. Track every asset and its relationship to each project. Link all resolution and format versions together. Enable smart media deletion. All while maintaining version control to speed and ease workflows.

Integrate Maestro graphics into your workflow—just added

MediaCentral now integrates with Maestro solutions, greatly speeding up the graphics creation process for quick-turnaround news and sports production. Easily browse, search for, and access MediaCentral-managed content directly from Maestro | DesignerMaestro | NewsMaestro | Live, and Maestro | PowerWall.

Stay updated

Got new footage or info to share? The MediaCentral | Message app (coming soon) makes it easy to exchange asset links and notes with other workgroup and team members, speeding pre-planning, editorial, review, and approval for enhanced collaboration.

Enable remote Media Composer | Ultimate collaboration

Media Composer | Cloud Remote enables any Media Composer | Ultimate editor with an Internet connection to connect to your MediaCentral | Production Management workgroup. This gives remote editors and contributors the same creative power and experience as if they were in the home facility—from accessing projects and media, to uploading content and triggering the Send-To-Playback process to accelerate the time to air.

Gain more editing flexibility—just added

Using MediaCentral | Production Management and MediaCentral | Asset Management? In addition to 3-point editing, which enables you to hone in on the best parts of a clip, you can now mix and match assets from both workflow modules in the same timeline for easier story creation. This gives you the flexibility to create shotlists in either module and edit content together from both systems using MediaCentral | Cloud UX—without having to move media.

boost efficiency

Find the right clips faster—just added

Looking for specific clips that contain certain spoken words or phrases? MediaCentral | Production Management now supports phonetic indexing and search, making it easy to locate all relevant master clips across any indexed media library based on the dialogue they contain—right from your web browser or mobile device. Simply type a keyword or phrase to find all clips that contain the speech you seek.

Archive assets with ease

You can even upload file-based media from your mobile device to your facility using the MediaCentral | Ingest drop utility.

Deliver to multiple platforms
