adobe begins construction on the edit media deathstar
from about 16 minutes in: overall its a super interesting watch.

“I could have a laptop, anywhere, and I have petabytes of storage, secured.”
kind of surreal demo. not hack avid proxy files. that is a true 4K+ thin client mac lappie that chooses the GPU between the client machine and the anywhere -remote machine room blade source- compute in a race every second. It occurs to you that we buy a ton of edit storage and redundancy to sustain and maintain client material. Or people like herb suvesh do. I personally have three lacie drives. anyway.
The caveats he states later have to do with the speed of light and continental landmass light travel for good JKL trim – so be calm mumbai fears – also they are shy about the wifi connection – but for anyone who still doesn’t think adobe are balancing their entire suite on premiere for core web based media production and generation its an interesting watch.
Particularly in the UK – ITV is heavily in – up to story running coronation street and them hosing the avid editors with Ppro at that meeting.
Reliably obviating local storage requirements for successful editing scenarios at a certain scale is a pretty powerful argument on both ends.*edit* – paying forever for CC is delicious with a floral scent, and has a hint of oak all at the same time.

That is pretty darn spankin’ cool.
But it’s got tracks.
And no magnets.

Seriously, though, no mention I could find (though I didn’t watch the entire vid) of latency. I’d love to know how they’re achieving 0 lag time between remote editor’s keyboard & the streamed result.
And then there was this: “With the upload speeds we have available to us, we are able to provide review/approvals to our director the same day.” Maybe in Austin, home of the new AT&T GigaPower (300Mbs-1Gbs) service, but not in most hotels & facilities I’ve been at in the US. Uploading a few hundred GB in the US tends to be a “paint drying” experience.

Nope. He does hedge his bets and seems to indicate that you need to be inside a couple of hundred miles of the source anywhere installation – he talks about geographic areas. And he did mention the speed of light a few times. Still – that was playing remote 4k material and ton of other codecs over a wifi connection and the Jkl shuttling looked bang on.
You’d think realistically it has to need minimum a 30mbps connection though? That about 3-4 MBps – you could imagine the adobe h264 streaming codec variant could push something respectable down that pipe in reliable real time.
the fact that it leverages remote and local GPUs in competition is pretty zany. There has to be an absolute ton of serious engineering in anywhere overall. I’m not pimping it because I’m lumped with the subscription, but it is absolutely crazy to consider where premiere has gone since 5.5 – or even since 6.

Massive leaps. The advantages of the Creative Cloud for development are really starting to bear fruit. Next stop, Amsterdam.

OK guys, before the praise begins, just read Oliver’s article fully.
The Adobe Anywhere seems to me just like a bunch on internaly build “remote desktops”. So there is no wonder this will work on a laptop. Nor am I impressed with 5K playback, thats because there is never a 5K playback going on localy at all. At best we have a transfer of 1/4 HD and compressed quality over the VPN. (1/4 is from it looks lik a mac with 1920×1200 screen estate and the recorder window is 1/4 of the screen).
Basicly, if you take any NLE and do a VPN session you’ll get the same. What is cool is that they have build in this “remote desktop” and hidden it, so it “looks ” like you are on the mainframe locally.
This is just as going back to a citrix office way of working. The clever part is the local ingest transfering to the mainframe happening in the background stuff.
Think of Adobe Anywhere as OnLive og STEAM. Just with the upload in addition.
But again, read Olivers article, he explains the difference of Avid and Adobe solution, and shows the differences.

I think this is an big oversimplification of Anywhere that misses the entire collaboration architecture.

Tracks feel kind of awkward now and the fact you have to think in the “Tetris” type of mentality as I like to call it. 🙂

I’ve actually done quite a bit of editing over remote desktop with FCPX from about 1,000 miles away. I know not the same but I can see how it could work without a huge investment.
