Urban Sled’s Evolving Collaborative Workflow Supported by Blackmagic – Sponsored

Anyone working in the ’80s and ’90s in post and broadcast remembers the Sneakernet — running tapes around a newsroom or post house and hoping the elevator wait is not too long because running up 10 flights of stairs won’t work with a looming deadline. With digital workflows, a new type of sneaker net formed that replaced physical tapes with portable RAIDs and isolated workstations working on different parts of a project. Digital workflows were supposed to bring everyone together, not waste time with panicked, last-minute conforms trying to get an edit from a workstation using one type of software to one down the hall using a different VFX program. Finally, New York City’s Urban Sled had enough. They turned to Blackmagic’s Resolve Studio for collaborative editing, color grading and visual effects without the need to conform.
