In this article, we will talk about the Upload Service from Colorshape. We will explain what it is, what it is used for, and we will delve a little into the Frame.io space and how it has revolutionized the workflow on the Set.
1. Whats is an upload
The term "upload", or "loading", refers to the act of transferring a file (or, in broader terms, a set of data or information) from a device, called a client, to a remote system, known as a server, through a computer network.
The upload speed indicates the amount of data (generally measured in bits or bytes) that your internet connection can transfer to the network in a given time interval, usually expressed in Megabits per second.
2. Upload in Film Sets
In the film world, for a single production, many different departments collaborate, often located in different parts of the Set or even on the other side of the world.
For this reason, solutions have always had to be found to transport the material to be reviewed or delivered to post-production technicians.
Once upon a time, the logistical movements of the disks with the filmed material were also shipped to the other side of the world by courier. In fact, for security reasons, being highly sensitive material, there always had to be someone to monitor the journey.
Obviously, it was not only uncomfortable but a process that slowed down, and not a little, the production. Thus, more and more solutions have been sought to transfer the transcoded files directly to post-production.
2.1 Frame.io
Frame.io is a Cloud platform that facilitates collaboration between editors, filmmakers, clients, and other creative industry professionals, providing a unified environment for feedback, approval, file transfer, and sharing.
It is compatible with Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, and other video and photo editing programs.
It makes it possible to upload, review, and privately share multimedia files with the entire team, wherever they are in the world.
It significantly simplifies the review and approval process, making feedback more specific and actionable, thus reducing review cycles and speeding up approvals.
It allows editors to view detailed frame notes directly in their timeline and to export and upload cuts for review, or share and manage resources, all without ever having to leave their work environment.
Team members anywhere can review photos and clips on any device, and post-production can begin while filming is still in progress.
2.2 Colorshape Upload Service
Especially when it comes to productions with large amounts of material to shoot, the timing of the review, to best prepare the files for post-production, plays a fundamental role. In fact, it often happens that several stages of review are needed by the production department and the client before reaching the final approval and, therefore, the start of the post-production phase. These continuous editing updates can cause a significant slowdown in the workflow, especially if the various departments that need to communicate are distant from each other.
For these reasons, we at Colorshape offer a timely and fast Upload Service: we move a terabyte in an hour via Firewall (encrypted lines).
