EVS Launches IP Link for Next Version of Adobe Premiere Pro Integration

EVS (Booth SL2416) is launching a new feature for its IPDirector suite of video-production-management applications. IP Link is a plug-in panel allowing users to search through clips reordered on EVS servers when using the next version of Adobe Premiere Pro software. At NAB 2013, the solution is presented in the EVS entertainment and Enriched Live Solution demo areas.

“At NAB this week, Adobe is revealing some incredible advancements in the next version of our video-editing tools. Our users appreciate advancements in live video that enable them to work as efficiently as possible, and IP Link integrated with Adobe will do just that,” said Simon Williams, director of strategic relations at Adobe. ”This latest collaboration with EVS will give the market greater choice, flexibility, and ease of use in their video-production workflows.”

EVS’s latest integration with Adobe will allow users to search, preview, edit, and import media from IPDirector near-line storage into Adobe Premiere Pro. The search facility will allow quick text and advanced search for clips, edits, and logs, which can then be previewed directly from IP Link and imported into Adobe Premiere Pro by a drag-and-drop function without being moved or copied.

“Following last year’s integration of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 with our industry-leading XT/XS high-speed production servers, we wanted to work more closely with Adobe and strengthen our collaboration with their products,” said Bernard Stas, SVP, product strategy, at EVS. “Using IP Link will benefit both users and facilities as there’s no need to have an additional IPDirector workstation for accessing, reviewing and the importing of media, so this saves them both time and money.”

IP Link will be released with the next version of Adobe Premiere Pro; EVS and Adobe will hold a joint presentation to announce the IP Link plugin at the EVS booth on Tuesday 9 April at 4.30pm.

At NAB 2013, Adobe  (Booth SL3910) is previewing the next generation of its professional video and audio products. More information about Adobe’s upcoming new video tools will be unveiled at Adobe MAX, The Creativity Conference, May 4-8 in Los Angeles.
