News Release – April 13, 2023
BELLEVUE, Wash. — Mylio announced today that a new update to Mylio Photos will offer an industry first: a seamless integration that connects all video and photography creative apps to the Frame.io storage and collaboration platform. For media production teams and individual contributors using Frame.io Camera to Cloud (C2C), Mylio Photos can serve as an easy-to-use and efficient hub: connecting workflows and making it easier to work with new assets captured to the cloud.
What is Camera to Cloud?
Camera to Cloud technology means a photographer can capture in the field and instantly send images back to a team, including a client, producer, and an image retoucher. Or, a video crew can work on-set and have each clip transfer as soon as it’s captured, speeding up post production and collaboration.
Fujifilm and RED have launched the world’s first cameras to support native camera-to-cloud integration, delivering still photo and video files (including raw and original camera files) to Frame.io directly from the cameras.
Cameras with native C2C integration include Fujifilm’s X-H2S and X-H2 and RED’s V-RAPTOR and V-RAPTOR XL. C2C technology helps accelerate production workflows and enable real-time collaboration with centralized access to assets, even across multiple users. There are also many hardware tools that enable other cameras without internal integrations.
Mylio Photos Makes the Cloud Faster and More Secure
Adding Mylio Photos to the mix means that those collaborating with Frame.io have new options. Mylio Photos easily connects to Frame.io projects and can then securely transfer files to local storage as well as handle the handoff of files to other creative software tools. Mylio Photos serve as a central hub for managing all of the media that are captured.
Key Features of Camera to Cloud Integration in the Upcoming Mylio Photos Release:
Frame.io Folder Importer for Mylio Photos
Log in and access all your Frame.io projects and folders. Users can then quickly import to their Mylio Photos library and local storage. Mylio Photo’s Open With command makes handoff files to photo editing and video editing tools easy. This means assets from Frame.io can be seamlessly exchanged with any software tool. Plus, files are mirrored on local drives for faster access speeds and no Internet connectivity issues.
Frame.io Project Watcher for Mylio Photos
Easily watch Frame.io C2C projects and mirror them to local or network storage. As new items from shoots come in, files are instantly backed up and ready for editing. Mylio Photos can even sync watched projects and folders to multiple physical drives, automating the download and offloading of assets for easy imports as a project unfolds.
Frame.io Versioned Media Uploader
Throughout the creative process, files will be enhanced and modified. Mylio Photos tracks the files as they are edited. When ready to share, Mylio Photos users can just click on the updated file and post it to the project to share with collaborators. New uploads are “stacked” with the existing project and shown as versions for easy commenting and distribution.
“We’re truly excited by the Frame.io Camera to Cloud technology. It means that professional photographers and video crews do not have to stop their capture process to collaborate with others. What we wanted to do with Mylio Photos is make those files easier to work with,” said Rich Harrington, Mylio Photos Product Manager. “Mylio Photos is the perfect hub for your Camera to Cloud projects and Frame.io storage. Creative pros can seamlessly combine this exciting new storage and collaboration toolset with all of their other tools – both software and hardware. Mylio Photos is both the glue and the connector.”
Key Benefits of Using Mylio Photos with Frame.io:
Work on Any Platform, Any Device
Mylio Photos is compatible with macOS, iOS, iPadOS, Windows, and Android. Browse, organize, edit and share – using the devices that work for you – wherever you are.
Download Files Once, Work and Share Faster with Teams
Mylio Photos connects to Frame.io and direct attached storage. These hard drives offer significant speed boosts when working with large photo and video files – rather than frequent uploads and downloads to the cloud via the internet. Plus local storage mirroring means offline access and no need for constant high-speed data connections.
Work Securely with Complete Control
Both tools store media securely, with invite-only access. If using Mylio Photos to sync drives in multiple locations, Mylio Photos transmits all data in a secure, encrypted state. Plus, Mylio Photos offers advanced drive-syncing technology with precise controls based on metadata and Artificial Intelligence.
Availability
Core features of Mylio Photos’ Frame.io support will be in an update that’s expected to release in May 2023. Additional features will roll out this summer as well. Mylio Photos’ free plan includes the essential functionality to import from Frame.io and then seamlessly exchange files with all other photo and video applications – making it a seamless hub. The ability to upload edited files as versions will also be included with the free plan.
Paid members get the added benefit of automatic project watching. This makes mirroring of their media to multiple hard drives for automatic backup and local and offline access far simpler. Everything stays up to date as their C2C stills and footage roll in dynamically. Plus, it’s easy to set up a fully automated 3-2-1 backup solution.
