Check Out Some Highlights from Their Article, Below.
As we watch the spread of the coronavirus continue so does the talk about remote editing and editing at home so I wanted to talk remote editing with an expert on the subject, Michael Kammes. I’ve had calls about this, I’ve been messaged about it and I’ve seen tons of discussion online about it. I know a bit about some ways to edit remotely but not enough to answer all of the questions I had been receiving. I thought to myself… who knows the most about this topic than anyone else on the planet and that was an easy answer in my friend Michael, of 5 Things fame.
Michael works for BeBop Technology who is a leader in this field. Michael has been on an incredibly busy schedule these last few days as interest in this topic has exploded. He was kind enough to sit down with me Sunday evening for about an hour to answer all the questions I had (and I’m sure you have too) about remote editing.
I wanted to address the topic on several levels and this is a rough outline of how we covered it:
- Physically shipping media on a hard drive and issues with that
- Remote-ing into an editing system with an app like TeamViewer, LogMeIn or Google Remote Desktop
- Putting media on Dropbox or Google Drive
- Mounting media stored in “the cloud” as a drive on your desktop
- Using a VPN if you’ve got a facility set up for that
- Looking at the high end of remote editing like BeBop Technology, the reality of that for small companies and what that might cost
- The difference between true remote editing vs. working with a client remotely for notes, changes, review, and approval
