Facilis FastTracker 3.8 - Now Available
Facilis is happy to announce the availability of FastTracker 3.8! There's dozens of new and improved features like Google Drive and Dropbox Offline Cache support,
metadata-filtered proxy generation, AI analysis and file management, plus one-touch index and ingest workflows, just to name a few!
Even small facilities can have hundreds of terabytes of files across multiple hard drives, network locations, and tier 1 shared storage. Managing the access and location of these files can be a challenge, wasting time that should be used for production. FastTracker is a media asset management system that is designed to be a fast way to index, catalog and find your video, audio, and still image files across Facilis volumes, network drives, and local storage.
Version 3.8 introduces many new features, including metadata-based filters for catalog assignment, data movement, analysis and proxy generation. This new architecture will streamline automated workflows to copy data and assign catalogs to records based on approval tags, file location, and age, among many other criteria. Version 3.8 also includes auto-tagging though Google AI, including advanced transcription services that opens up the transcription feature to hundreds of languages.
A new ingest workflow from FastTracker Client enables indexing of local files, copy to server locations and triggering processing all in one step. FastTracker will offer link to externally-created proxy files, and a new dropbox-style web link provides a simple interface for approval. Adobe integrations have improved, with gathering and indexing of Premiere Pro project sources, import of transcription data to Adobe Captions feature, and metadata sync with Adobe projects for searching Adobe metadata within FastTracker interface.
