“How do I edit remotely or work from home?” • Today we’ll look at Avid, as they have many supported options, so you can cut with Media Composer from just about anywhere.

Let me know! • Web: http://5thingsseries.com • Facebook: / 5thingsseries • Twitter: @michaelkammes • Excerpt: • 1. Extending Your Desktop • The first method we’ll look at is simply extending your desktop, that is – having your processing computer at the office, while you work from home and remote into that machine. This has been the crutch that most facilities have relied on in the past few weeks. Let’s examine how this works. • First, this scenario assumes that you edit at a facility, where all of the networked computers and shared storage are…and that you can’t take any of those things home. This can be due to security, or other concerns like needing access to hundreds of TB of data. • In this case, the creatives are sent home, and I.T. installs a remote desktop hardware or software solution on each of the machines. The creatives then connect through a VPN or virtual private network – to gain secure access from their home editing fortresses of solitude back into the facility and attempt to work as normal. • Now topically this sounds like a real win-win, right? You get access to your usual machine and usual shared storage. Sure, you lose things like a confidence monitor (if you had one), but you should be fine, right? • The devil, as always, is in the details. • Typical screen-sharing software solutions that are installed on your office editing machine are often dumpster fires for creatives. I’m not saying they are bad for general I.T. use, or when you need to remote in and re-export something, but by and large most screen-sharing protocols do not give a great user experience. Full frame rate, A/V sync, color fidelity, and responsiveness usually suffer. Solutions like Teamviewer, Apple or Microsoft Remote Desktop, VNC, or most any of the other web-based solutions fail. Hard. You’ll pull all of your hair out before you finish an edit. • Moving up to more robust solutions like HP’s RGS – Remote Graphics Software – or a top of the line solution like Teradici’s PCoIP software – is about as good as you’re gonna get. The license cost may cost a few hundred dollars, too…depending on your configuration. • But here’s the kicker. They’re Windows only. • Quite unfortunately, there does not exist a post-production-creative friendly screen sharing solution for macOS. • The only solution I’ve come across over these many years is a company called Amulet Hotkey – yes, that’s their name – who take the Teradici PCoIP Tera2 card and put it into a custom external enclosure, and add some secret sauce. • You then feed the output of your graphics card, plus your keyboard, mouse, and audio into the device, and the PCoIP technology takes over. It’s quite frankly the best of both worlds: PCoIP and macOS. • This ain’t gonna be cheap. • Expect a few thousand dollars per hardware device, and availability at the moment may be difficult. You also going to need to do some network configuration for Quality of Service, and then decide how you’re going to “receive” the screen share at home, either on a laptop/desktop or with a zero client. • 2. Islands of Media • There is no doubt that as a Media Composer user, you’ve already tried this. It’s the easiest and least expensive way to have multiple users working on Avid projects at the same time while not in the same building. • Wait a second. Let’s back up and review how this works before we jump into the nitty-gritty. • We start off as we did before, with everyone working at the facility on networked computers and shared storage. We then begin to replicate the media from the facility onto portable drives. • Obviously, this could be a security risk and could potentially break the contract your facility might have with the content providers. • But that’s a soapbox I’ll get on later in the episode. • ...and that's all we have room for!
