Media Library runs directly on your ELEMENTS system, so your files never need to leave your company. If desired, Media Library access can be granted through a secure internet connection. Advanced permissions management, password protection and two-factor authentication keep your files safe from unwanted access.

Effective communication

Add frame-accurate comments and even on-screen drawings. This set of features combined with easy accessibility can greatly accelerate your communication processes.

Need help with work coordination? Simply assign tasks to selected users. All assigned users will automatically be notified about the new task and a new entry will appear in their to-do list.

Intuitive content ranking

Each authorised user can rank any asset in the Media Library. Use the average rating to quickly and easily find the best shots.

Flexible metadata

FAQ

Every user can view, comment and evaluate new footage instantly – anytime, from anywhere, using a computer, tablet or a phone. Frame-accurate comments, on-screen drawings and custom metadata fields simplify feedback and make communication processes easier and more precise than ever before.

Users with appropriate permissions can not only see the comments made on the assets, but also mention other users or even assign tasks to them. Custom Field metadata can be set up to store any additional data needed e.g. link to the involved and responsible persons, planned deadlines or backup status. This metadata can be displayed in the form of icons, making it easier to find footage without having to use the search function.
