Anybody remember Avid Online Review?
It seems to me there used to be some Avid software that allowed clients to review a quicktime movie online, make notes on the movie, even add markers where they would like changes and those could be imported into the timeline. (was i dreamin’?). At the time, 15 years ago, none of my clients had fast enough connections to use it. But that has changed. Soooo, does this software exist? I guess I’ll dig through my old disks of Bola 32 and see if it’s on there. lol

It was about 5 years ago. I’ve got the t-shirt. 😉

Steve,
The barrier to entry for this service has come down so low that just about anybody can now do it themselves. You may not get the fancy “note tracking” features, but it’s now a piece of cake to set up a website to host streaming video. .Mac is virtually free and gives you enough storage space for many spots.
If you’ve already got a company website, you’re almost there. Speak with a webmaster for details.
I remember the AVID Online review. Like all avid products it was “premium priced”, making using it an expensive proposition. We’re now doing it ourselves. We’ve set up a “password protected” area on our website and regularly post 1-2 hours a day worth of shows for appproval by network execs, out of town production teams, and so on. If you’ve got DSL or better connection, it works like a charm. The best thing about it is once you’ve set it up… it’s free!

The ability to import comments back into the timneline is now an open format (since 5.0) and locators can be exported and imported as TAB delinted files.

I do post quicktimes for client review. I even post DVD ISO files for my out of town clients and they make thier own DVD’s of the spots. I couldn’t remember if Avid Online Review was software I could run on my server, a quicktime plugin, or a hosting solution provided by Avid. I was thinking that Avid provided the hosting, but the quicktime player that made it work would be usable by anyone.
