The 101 Basics on SNS EVO and SNS EVO Suite
Studio Network Solutions (SNS) EVO Suite is more than just shared storage; it’s a powerful toolkit designed to enhance your creative workflow. Packed with features that keep your projects organized, efficient, and stress-free, the EVO Suite is tailored to meet the unique needs of creative professionals. Let’s explore what makes the SNS EVO Suite stand out and how it can revolutionize your post-production process.
What Is the SNS EVO Suite?
The SNS EVO Suite includes three core applications: ShareBrowser, Nomad, and Slingshot. These tools come bundled with your SNS Evo shared storage at no additional cost and support unlimited users. Together, they provide media asset management, remote editing capabilities, and workflow automation—all aimed at simplifying your creative life so you can focus on storytelling rather than troubleshooting.
ShareBrowser: Media Management Made Easy
Finding the right clip quickly is crucial for staying in your creative flow. That’s where ShareBrowser shines. Instead of hunting for files through Finder or Explorer, ShareBrowser allows you to search your SNS storage and other storage infrastructure using tags, comments, and metadata. You can even create custom metadata fields to suit your workflow.
Key Features of ShareBrowser:
- Media Preview: Preview files directly within ShareBrowser before importing them into your editing software.
- Seamless Integration: Drag and drop files into popular NLEs like Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and DaVinci Resolve without additional navigation.
- Project Locking: Collaborate efficiently with built-in project locking for applications like Media Composer and Premiere Pro.
- AI-Driven Tagging: Automatically tag media using artificial intelligence to save time and improve organization.
- Proxy Generation: Create proxies for faster access, especially when working remotely or on limited bandwidth.
- For teams, the Virtual Bins tool lets you organize and share groups of media files without duplicating them, enhancing collaboration across the board.
Nomad: Empowering Remote Workflows
Remote work is here to stay, and SNS’s Nomad is designed to make it seamless. Nomad gathers your project files, associated media, and proxies, then syncs them to your local computer. The proxy files maintain the same folder structure as the original project, making relinking straightforward when you’re back in the office.
With Nomad, you can eliminate dependency on tools like Google Drive or Dropbox and enjoy a streamlined remote editing experience tailored to your creative needs.
Slingshot: Automate Mundane Tasks
Automating repetitive tasks can free up valuable time for creativity. Enter Slingshot, the automation engine in the EVO Suite. Unlike typical IT-focused automation tools, Slingshot is built with creatives in mind.
What Can Slingshot Do?
- Automate media offloading, transcoding, and archiving.
- Create backups and proxies in the background while you work.
- Simplify workflows for teams without dedicated IT support.
- By reducing manual data management, Slingshot allows you to spend more time on the creative process.
Purpose-Built Storage for Creatives
At the heart of the EVO Suite is SNS EVO shared storage, a solution specifically designed for video, audio, and graphics professionals. Unlike generic NAS devices, EVO is tailored for media workflows, offering seamless integration with your creative tools and an intuitive browser-based management dashboard.
