Fuze Movie Solves Challenges of Remote,
Distributed Review and Approval Workflow with Collaborative,
Synchronized Shared Media Experience
Fuze Box announced it is entering the content creation and
post production marketplace with the launch of Fuze Movie.
Fuze Movie is a real-time collaborative media review and approval
solution created specifically for editors, VFX artists and
digital media designers faced with the challenges of collaborating
with numerous remote, and often widely distributed colleagues
and clients. Combining an industry-unique frame accurate media
player with seamless real time collaboration capabilities,
Fuze Movie creates a cost-effective, efficient and easy digital
media review and approval workflow experience for users.
Leveraging Skype as its communications backbone, Fuze Movie
effectively eliminates the frustrations and inefficiencies
of collaborating across distributed workgroups by creating
a real time shared workflow environment for anyone with a
computer and an Internet connection.
Fuze Movie is based on the highly acclaimed review and approval
solution, syncVUE, which was acquired by Fuze Box in 2007.
Michael Buday, the industry renown editor who created syncVUE,
is now the Company’s chief software designer and principal
developer of Fuze Movie. “As an editor myself for over
20 years, I understand the frustration and pure tedium of
simply trying to get shots reviewed and approved while working
with clients, crews, directors and colleagues who are spread
out in multiple locations. That’s why we created Fuze
Movie,” said Michael Buday, chief software designer for
Fuze Box.
“Today, the content creation industry has completely
embraced the notion of distributed, networked and even mobile
collaboration. Fuze Movie and its enhanced visual communications
platform now gives them the ideal review and approval solution,
specifically tailored for content creation workflow requirements
and optimized for the technology and applications on which
digital media artists have already invested and rely heavily.”
Fuze Movie extends the promise of powerful collaborative media
sharing capabilities to the digital media review and approval
workflow process and delivers an extensive list of features,
including:
A powerful media player with frame accurate control, with
audio/video chat enabled by Skype;
Ability to play any media file supported by QuickTime v7.1
or higher;
Ability to play Windows Media and MXF files (via a plug-in
from Telestream) providing compatibility with Sony’s
Blu-ray based XDCAM formats;
Ability to add time-code-based text annotations (markers),
automatically propagated to all connected clients;
Features to draw, make notes or annotations directly to the
shared media for all participants to see, and add to, in real
time;
Ability to record audio notes to add comments, recommendations
or ideas to recall later or share with a colleague not in
the session;
A versatile database enabling users to track all assets (media
files) wherever they may reside; on a server, local or networked
drive, or on the web;
Built-in FTP function allowing media within a project to be
automatically uploaded to multiple FTP locations. Clients
running Fuze Movie will automatically receive media files
as they become available – keeping everyone in the project
in-sync;
Printed video frames with graphics, titles, notes and timecode
can be exported as HTML files for viewing locally or online;
Upon completion, XML locator annotations can be exported to
industry-popular non-linear editing solutions, such as Final
Cut Pro;
Advanced license management system enables customers to extend
temporary licenses to colleagues or clients for flexible,
hassle-free access to Fuze Movie.
Since its creation, Fuze Movie has been used extensively to
streamline the review and approval process on a number of
recent Hollywood blockbusters, including Don Cheadle’s
Traitor, Terry Gilliam’s Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus
and by VFX industry icon John Farhat in the just released
post-apocalyptic thriller, The Book of Eli.
