Download Brochure
NEW! Apella Media Servers
now offer seamless interoperability with Apple Final Cut
Pro v6.0!
VT plug-in technology provides cost effective full
integration between ingest/playout servers and networked
non-linear editors to facilitate simple drag and drop
connectivity to Shared Media Storage, Apella Ingest
Servers, Apella Playout Servers, and VT Proxy Editor
low-resolution PC editor clients with XML/AAF EDL Timeline
exchange!

With the new software introduction of Video Technics’
News Edit Plug-In for Final Cut Pro, users gain valuable time for creative
media production by utilizing embedded functionality between
Final Cut Pro and
Apella Media Server
content and database. The VT News Edit Plug-In for
FCP allows users to explore the Apella database and drag
and drop media timelines as XML files with network links to
the high resolution media directly into the FCP project bin.
The VT News Edit Plug-In for FCP browser dialog provides a
search filter, sort features, thumbnails and low-res proxy
viewing to easily locate and identify media. With the VT FCP
Plug-in, users intuitively link Apella server media into
their projects and edit content “in-place” on a NAS or SAN.
The VT Proxy Editor Windows product is used to create
low-res, offline timelines. Every time content is dropped
from the VT FCP Browser to the FCP bin the entire EDL is
translated from Apella with links to multiple video and
audio files on the server. This functionality transfers a
complete sequence to continue production using the FCP
timeline as a News Editor.
NewsFlow™
is an all-digital end-to-end shared production solution
built around the Video Technics’
Apella Media Server
Family of scalable and robust multi-channel
ingest/playout servers. The proven, IT-centric Apella Media
Server Family provides a complete solution from media
ingest, edit to playout and archive and is now fully
compatible with Final Cut Pro non-linear editors. The Apella
natively supports OpenDML AVI and QuickTime file formats for
seamless media ingests with efficient collaborative editing.
For simple low-res proxy editing, producers and editors
utilize the PC-based
VT Proxy Editor
for browsing the database and creating timelines that are
saved to the centralized SQL database. This low-res editing
application contains a multi-track timeline for independent
editing of video and audio tracks. With standard Ethernet
connections, multiple networked workstations simultaneously
participate in the collaborative low-res editing process.

Video Technics supports Apple Final Cut Pro QuickTime movie files with DV data
transferred directly into the Apella storage and database. Final Cut Pro operators simply drag and drop
QuickTime movie files into the network VT Hot Folder.
Without transcoding, the newly gained media, low resolution
proxy, and all associated metadata is quickly transferred to
centralized NAS/SAN storage for remote VT Proxy Editor
manipulation or immediate playout to air from any Apella
Media Server. Once a FCP package is completed, the user
drops the QuickTime file into the Apella centralized
database faster than real-time for playout to air from any
Apella server.
The VT News Edit Plug-In creates interoperability with the
Final Cut Pro non-linear editor for faster media production
on a completely shared editing environment and streamlines
the entire process for a better on-air look.
