Aframe today launched the most significant update yet of its cloud-based production platform.

Aframe 2.0 includes Edit Flow, which allows users to export metadata from Aframe into Avid Media Composer, Apple Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere.

Aframe said that Edit Flow would “dramatically accelerate the early stages of production and reduce total editing time”.

Edit Flow was developed in part by former Avid software engineer turned Aframe employee Jeff Bedell, who wrote the initial code for the first Avid Media Composer. 

“No other man knows back end of Media Composer as well as this guy,” said Aframe chief executive David Peto.

Also included in the overhaul is a newly designed user interface, support for Panasonic’s AVC proxy workflow and an API library that allows third-party solutions to connect with the Aframe platform. 

“These changes have been the core focus of 50% of our team for the past nine months,” said Peto.

“The way clips load in the new Aframe is blazingly fast and it’s even more responsive than before.

“The software has been re-coded and there is a new asset management module under the skin which can handle more people accessing Aframe.

“The shift to HTML5 has improved the frame accuracy even more; we now measure time in quanta of miliseconds rather than in frames.”

Aframe users on the company’s middle-ranking plan and upwards can shift to version 2.0 as a free upgrade.
