Frame.io announce new partnerships, apps, and updates at NAB Show

Frame.io are heading back to Las Vegas for NAB and will announce all the new updates and features across their entire platform.

There’s there new Frame.io app for Apple TV 4K; Camera to Cloud integrations with FiLMiC Pro, Atomos, Teradek, Viviana Cloud, and FDX FilmDataBox; a new native integration with FilmLight’s Baselight color grading system; and high-powered security features like Digital Rights Management and Two-Factor Authentication.

Camera to Cloud for everyone

One of Frame.io’s main goals is making our product accessible to all video creators, regardless of the software and hardware they use. Frame.io’s next natural step is to make Camera to Cloud available to anyone who shoots video—whether for movies and TV, commercials, corporate video, live events, or social media.

Teradek

Continuing its trailblazing support for Camera to Cloud, the Teradek Serv 4K now adds the ability to automatically send low-bandwidth, timecode-accurate 10-bit 4K HEVC proxies of original camera files from leading digital cinema cameras instantly to Frame.io.

That means you can now send 4K files to create colour-corrected dailies immediately—there’s no longer a need to wait for hero dailies and swap them for proxies. This opens the door to unprecedented quality in cloud collaboration from the set and even, in some cases, all the way to delivery.

Atomos

Frame.io’s new partner Atomos now brings pro video, mirrorless, and DSLR cameras to the Camera to Cloud workflow. With the release of the Atomos Shogun Connect and a Connect module for existing Ninja V and Ninja V+ devices, Frame.io’s C2C workflow can be used with any camera outputting HDMI video. This unlocks the power of immediate cloud collaboration for millions of video creators including run-and-gun news teams, wedding and event videographers, corporate and music video production companies, documentarians, and independent filmmakers.

No matter the location of your editor and the people who need to quickly weigh in on or approve your content, you no longer have to wait for camera cards to download or for files to be transcoded. Your footage is automatically ready to go after every take, so post-production can work in tandem with production. The Connect devices will be available for pre-order from Atomos resellers worldwide soon, and will be shipping in June 2022.

FiLMiC Pro

The biggest pain point for mobile phone creators who are doing more than sharing a short clip or series of stills has always been the process of getting your footage off of your phone and into your editing software.

Now, Camera to Cloud fits in the palm of your hand. With the addition of FiLMiC Pro to the list of C2C connected apps, you get a whole new level of accessibility to cloud-based collaboration right from your smartphone. You can now upload high-quality, lightweight video, shot with FiLMiC Pro, directly to Frame.io via C2C and instantly start sharing that content with remote collaborators from any location.

FDX FilmDataBox

Camera to Cloud will also now extend to legacy cameras. As a stand-alone hardware-software device, the FDX allows DITS to plug in a camera card or hard drive and walk away while it automatically offloads, backs up, and transcodes camera files to H.264, DNxHD, AVC-Intra, or ProRes files and uploads them to Frame.io, directly into our Fixed Folder structure for editing or viewing.

Viviana Cloud

The partnership with Viviana Cloud extends the Camera to Cloud workflow to sound recorders that are not WiFi enabled. Now, you can use the WiFi capabilities of the Viviana Cloud Box to upload audio files to Frame.io from any sound recorder that uses an SD card, opening the workflow to more production crews. And because it reads all SD cards, you can even upload files from popular cameras like GoPros.

FilmLight’s Baselight

In addition to the new Camera to Cloud partners, we are also announcing an integration with FilmLight’s Baselight, one of the top color-correction systems in the industry. Frame.io’s seamless integration with Baselight requires no extra extensions or plugins to download, and allows users to upload rendered timelines with marker comments to Frame.io, choose selectable comments for upload and download, and filter client notes within a list to focus on new notes from specific people.

Through this integration, they are creating a more complete end-to-end ecosystem for colourists, post houses, agencies, and entertainment companies focusing on feature films, episodic TV, and premium broadcast or streaming content.
