OT: Collaboration software for remote clients

[Shane Ross]

This software was demo’d at a LFACPUG and I was pretty impressed with it:

Allows you to post files that your clients can look at, review…MAKE NOTES ON…pretty slick.

I am looking for something realtime like using an iChat camera shooting the screen so the client can see the editing for a remote location.

Well then, there’s that. The iCHAT method. If it is a DV project, it is easy to route the signal out of the editing machine into another, and choose that as the “camera.” Then your producer can see you edit in real time. That is ONLY with DV. No other format will work for this.

Or, what I do, is point the isight camera at my external monitor so they can see it. There isn’t any software that does this sort of thing…that I know of. There is SYNCVUE which allows you to sync up a good quality QT movie on both ends that you can both see, and they can make notes on. But then you aren’t editing right then and there, you are screening a good quality image.

For them to look over your shoulder, iChat with an iSight might be the only option.
