INCLUDED WITH EVO

Save time and resources with the advanced automation capabilities of Slingshot, the transcoder and automations engine built into your EVO video editing server.

Slingshot is both powerful and easy to use, and it comes included with every EVO shared storage solution so you can create amazing content, faster, from anywhere.

BACKUP, SYNC, AND TRANSCODE WITH SLINGSHOT

With a few clicks, you can schedule backup, sync, replication, and transcoding jobs to automatically run whenever you want.

SNS Slingshot
  • Automate your backups
    Run scheduled or on-demand jobs to backup files and projects to another network server, USB device, or cloud services like Amazon S3 and Azure.
  • Sync & replicate
    Automatically sync new content and file changes between multiple systems, whether they’re in the same office or around the globe.
  • Transcode upon ingest
    Transcode source media into proxy files so you can preview clips in EVO’s built-in MAM and download proxy media for remote editing.

SAVE TIME WITH SLINGSHOT’S AUTOMATION TASK BUILDER

With its simple point-and-click task builder, Slingshot manages a variety of automations for your media production workflow like copying, moving, deleting, transcoding, and emailing your files, folders, and shares. Here are some examples of how that might look for your creative team.

AUTOMATIC PROXY GENERATION

EVO is built to handle your highest resolution media and most demanding creative projects, but your video editors may not want to work at full resolution all the time.

In fact, there are many instances where high-resolution media can create a bottleneck in your workflow.

That’s where proxy files can make a big difference.

Slingshot automatically creates lightweight proxy files to speed up your workflow when you prefer to work with lower-res media, such as remote editing, previewing media, and working on offline projects.

CHOOSE YOUR DESTINATION

Backing up your files is a crucial component of creative media workflow. With Slingshot, your EVO shared storage server can sync, copy, and backup your shares, folders, and files to any of these destinations.

  • Cloud storage services
    Automatically send files to cloud storage for backup before deep archive and for sharing files with clients and remote collaborators. Slingshot works with several cloud services including Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, Dropbox, Wasabi, Backblaze, and Google Cloud Platform.
  • EVO and EVO Nearline servers
    Slingshot can run automation tasks within a single EVO server, across multiple EVO systems, and to EVO Nearline servers as well. With a proper VPN setup, you can even transfer files to other EVO servers that you control anywhere in the world.
  • Other storage destinations on your network
    You can use Slingshot to backup, copy, or sync files from EVO to other network-attached servers—including FTP systems—or to a USB device connected to EVO. EVO can transfer media to nearly any SMB or FTP system with the included Slingshot automations engine.
  • Multiple storage locations
    Using the Slingshot API as an offload/transport engine, you can transfer files from one of these supported systems to any other supported system, even if none of those files are on EVO.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR AUTOMATION JOBS

Slingshot’s filters and scheduling features let you automate what you want, when you want.

  • Start and stop times
    To schedule automations during off-peak hours, Slingshot lets you select the start and pause/stop time for your automation tasks. You can also run jobs on-demand at any time.
  • Slingshot filters
    Trigger your Slingshot automations based on a file’s name, type, age, or ShareBrowser bin—or a combination of these attributes.
  • Recurring automations
    Slingshot lets you schedule recurring automations at convenient time intervals that work with your schedule. This gives you the freedom to set an automation once and let it run exactly as planned.

AUTOMATE ANYTHING WITH EVO’S APIS

Developers and integrators, it’s time to get technical. Our RESTful APIs for Slingshot and ShareBrowser allow you to integrate your technologies and products into the EVO suite.

From offloading complex file transfers to integrating with advanced AI programs and other systems in your workflow, our APIs open a world of possibilities for software developers, product manufacturers, and systems integrators.

Access to our APIs is included free with EVO shared storage systems. We also offer custom development services for more complex API integrations.

EDIT FROM ANYWHERE

Nomad—EVO’s built-in remote editing tool—helps creative teams take their media and projects on the go when they need to work outside the office.

Whether you’re working from home, traveling for a shoot, or preparing for inclement weather, Nomad makes it easy to keep your projects moving forward from wherever you need to be.

SNS Nomad

THE PERFECT RECIPE FOR REMOTE VIDEO EDITING

Remote production is easy with Nomad in your workflow.

  • Gather media
    Nomad helps your remote editors retrieve the files they need to work offline.
    Use Nomad to gather your project files, original source media, and/or lightweight proxies automatically generated by EVO’s built-in transcoder.
  • Edit remotely
    Once you have what you need locally, you can edit completely offline without an internet connection.
    Edit your project from home, on the go, or anywhere you need to be.
  • Relink and render
    Nomad ensures that your proxy media follows the same folder structure as the corresponding source files, giving remote editors a much simpler workflow when it’s time to relink to source and render your final projects.

EDITING REMOTELY WITH PROXY MEDIA

Remote editors often prefer to work offline with lightweight proxy files.

Proxies save time and frustration in remote post-production because they are faster to transfer, easier to work with, and they don’t take up as much space on a portable drive or laptop.

EVO can automatically transcode your high-resolution camera files (including BRAW, R3D, and ARRIRAW) into proxy files for your remote editing projects. Once your proxies are created, your team can use Nomad to gather them and edit with proxies offline, anywhere.

WORK REMOTELY WITH NOMAD

SNS Nomad

READY TO RENDER

Nomad makes it easy to take your media offline for remote editing projects and relink back to source when you bring your project back online.

Matched folder paths
Proxy files collected through Nomad follow the same folder path as the corresponding source media.
When it’s time to render online, simply relink one proxy back to source, and the rest will follow.
Nomad Delta
For Premiere Pro users.
Nomad Delta helps creative teams using Premiere sync their offline changes back to EVO.

TAKE YOUR POST-PRODUCTION WORKFLOW ON THE GO
