Tint Supercharges Its Media Workflows

One of the leading Scandinavian post-production houses, Tint, has supercharged its media workflows with EditShare's high-performance storage across its Gothenburg and Stockholm offices.

The solution combines ultra-fast EFS NVMe storage nodes and multiple EFS 300 units, delivering both locations easy access to shared content. Completed in June with regional partner Danmon Group Sweden, this installation boosts collaboration among its teams of colourists, VFX artists, editors, sound designers and producers, ensuring efficient and smooth operations.

Tint, known for its post-production expertise across commercials, feature films and serialised tv content, required a more efficient workflow solution between its two locations. Despite a private network, manual file transfers between Gothenburg and Stockholm caused delays and version control issues, especially for VFX artists in Stockholm facing bottlenecks. To overcome these challenges, Tint chose EditShare for its robust features, proven performance, and competitive pricing.

The installed system features EFS-300 nodes at both locations, with two nodes in Stockholm and Gothenburg each, all reinforced by ultra-high-speed NVMe nodes for unparalleled performance. This configuration enables easy media sharing, enhanced collaboration across sites, and delivers the exceptional performance and throughput required for high-end film and VFX work.

"Our primary goal was to create a frictionless, collaborative working environment for both our Gothenburg and Stockholm teams," said Albin Abrahamsson, Post Supervisor, of Tint. "EditShare's EFS storage has completely transformed how we work, eliminating file transfer delays, removing admin worries and allowing our teams to focus purely on the creative process. The NVMe performance is incredible, especially for our VFX and color grading workflows."

Tint’s CTO, Vincent Larsson added: "We evaluated multiple vendors, including the option of building our own system, but EditShare stood out for its superior performance, feature set and price. It's reassuring to have a high-speed media-aware storage solution that offers both reliability and the flexibility to meet our evolving needs."

Tint has also capitalised on EditShare's open API framework, writing their own scripts integrated with Apple Shortcuts. This has allowed producers to quickly and easily create media spaces, add folders and users to new projects without requiring access to the core EFS system. “Our producers can now manage new projects and media spaces themselves, saving everyone time and getting new projects up and running straight away,” added Abrahamsson.

Security is paramount in media, and EditShare's EFS auditing capabilities play an important role by delivering real-time activity tracking and monitoring every user action, ensuring total confidence when handling valuable content.
