GLOBALedit allows you to manage your workflow more efficiently with the support of video by providing you with the same easy-to-use tools you have already been using to manage your image content.

Simply upload your hi-res videos using the Library Manager and the system will automatically encode and process out a lower-res, web-optimized version that you can view instantly. Work with image and video content side by side. Through your Library Manager or Image Editor you can make edits, send videos through lightboxes, apply metadata, and provide access to download videos.

GLOBALedit Approval Galleries are extremely helpful for film production, whether it is for a TV show, movie, or advertising campaign. You can send out dailies for approval from talent, publicists, and executives while eliminating the need for creating and distributing discs or hard drives. To create an Approval Gallery, navigate to Manage > Galleries. Click "Create a New Gallery," where you can choose either a lightbox or a folder from your library - even an entire job.

You can allow the recipient to either Approve or Kill images (depending on your workflow) and specify expiration dates and kill percentages. You can monitor the progress of these approval galleries, as well as view edit ratings instantly updated in your library.

For more information on how to manage your workflow please visit our SupportWiki or contact us at support@globaledit.com.  Stay tuned for future tips and tricks that can help streamline your workflow.

We're pleased today to announce that we've entered into a strategic partnership agreement with the folks at MovieSet. Over the past few years, we've been fortunate enough to work with many of the world's leading media organizations and to refine our online Talent Approval workflow. The system is now in use by NBC Universal, Showtime, Warner Bros, Turner Broadcasting, Paramount Pictures, Universal Studios, and many others. In the past year, we've had more and more production companies use the system as well as they have the same needs to manage the talent approval process, reduce complexity and errors, and reduce the wasteful process of contact sheet printing and shipping.

Movieset is an innovative platform that provides production groups with social marketing tools to help them generate buzz for their projects during the production process. Production companies and independent producers need to build an audience as early as possible and Movieset helps them do this. Of course, approved photos are required for marketing and publicity and hope to bring value to the production community. This partnership opens up new conversations on our system and brings more comprehensive tools to producers and production groups.

According to marketers at Ad Age's Digital Conference on April 13, team collaboration is considered the most important piece for an agencies success.

"The new life-skill of agencies," according to Microsoft Chief Creative Officer Gayle Troberman, is "orchestration."

As media continues to converge and agencies are required to handle a lot more moving parts, it's important for large teams to collaborate with each other in order to handle a range of functions.
