Activity Forums Storage & Archiving affordable Media Asset managing software

  • affordable Media Asset managing software

    Posted by Matt Epstein on March 7, 2013 at 5:53 pm

    A client of mine has two Avids and has been using individual firewire drives to back up and archive their media. Nothing shocking there. They have recently purchased a 15TB RAID tower and a PC with the intention of having this as an archiving station.

    The critical missing component is the software to tag and organize the influx of media so it can be found later.

    Anyone have a recommendation for asset management software that is affordable, easy to use, and effective?

    Thank you!

    you should have a look on CatDV. From what I’ve read it works nicely with Avid MC6. There is a CatDV forum in creativecow. Post your thread there.
    CatDV does work definitely with FCP.
    cheers

    I am the #1 Axle Video supporter right now. Unfortunately, Axle currently does not work with AVID Media Composer.

    You can get a single user copy of CatDV Pro 10 for about $400.
    You can download it FREE right now, so why don’t you do that, and try it out for 30 days, and see if you like it.

    SO, isn’t there anything out there for free that will do Asset Managment for AVID ? What do you think ?

    Cool, thanks, Bob! I’ll check it out.

    Hope all is well! Haven’t seen you since the 90’s.

    Hi Bob,

    what’re the advantages of Axle vs. Cat DV?

    Thanks,

    Rainer
