Marquis' Edit Bridge Wins IABM Award

Marquis Broadcast, has been awarded the IABM's Design & Innovation Award in the Post-Production category at this year's IBC. The company won the award for Edit Bridge; Marquis' new integration for Adobe Premiere Pro CC and Avid Interplay, making it possible to edit Interplay content directly in Adobe Premiere Pro or After Effects.

"The IABM awards recognise new solutions that offer significant benefits or new opportunities to the broadcast and media industry," says John Ive, Director of Technology and Strategic Insight, IABM. "With the broadcast and media industry transitioning through major changes, never before has there been such an important requirement for innovation and creative solutions, bringing real value to end users. Clearly our judges confirmed that Edit Bridge ticked all the boxes and offers an innovative solution enabling competing manufacturers' products to work together."

"Users can search Avid Interplay from within the Premiere Pro or After Effects interface, view thumbnails, find media and select for editing," explains Chris Steele, managing director, Marquis Broadcast. "Content in the correct codec is then streamed direct to Premiere Pro or After Effects for immediate editing, while other content is copied and re-wrapped. Delivery of the completed story and associated metadata back to Avid ISIS is achieved with Interplay 'Check In.'

"Edit Bridge contains two Custom Panels, which have been developed specifically for Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, allowing the control of the workflow directly from the Premiere Pro user interface," continues Steele. "These panels are add-on extension components that run inside the Premiere Pro application and enable users to source content from Interplay by browsing and searching the Interplay system within the panel that trigger an import into Premiere Pro. Users can then use the second panel to export their content and metadata from Premiere Pro back into the Avid Interplay Production Asset Management system."

Users benefiting from the new functionality, include Adobe Premiere Pro and Media Composer editors wishing to collaborate on a project; those using Adobe Prelude CC as an ingest tool or for quality assurance for Avid Interplay/ISIS; those using Adobe After Effects to complete motion graphics for projects edited on Avid Media Composer; and facilities who wish to use Avid Interplay/ISIS for their tier one edit storage and MAM but wish to switch to Adobe Premiere Pro for editing.

"We are delighted to win an IABM award for development of Edit Bridge," adds Steele. "Our solution now gives Adobe users the power to browse, move and therefore edit content more easily. By taking care of the technical know-how, we enable editors to focus on the business of creativity."
