LOS ANGELES, CA –
Digital Rebellion, developers of leading video workflow efficiency software tools, today announced an array of new innovations to the
Kollaborate cloud-based review and approval software solution. The Kollaborate workflow platform transforms the creative production/post process by providing users a reliable and cost effective suite of tools to streamline video and audio workflows. Comprehensive and adaptable, Kollaborate features instant real-time feedback, flexible remote collaboration tools and full integration with common professional interchange formats like marker lists and XML.
Important new updates in Kollaborate 1.3 accelerate creative control and simplify the way video production teams work together and share content. Among the key benefits to Kollaborate is the integration with free desktop and mobile helper tools that provide a wide range of functions including cloud upload, note-taking and playing back video and audio content.
For Digital Rebellion Founder/CEO Jon Chappell, workflow efficiency is more than just a buzzword for a company focused on developing tangible and practical software solutions for real-world production and post challenges.
“Video creatives today face multiple platforms and formats, smaller budgets and tighter deadlines and are constantly looking for ways to manage content more efficiently,” Chappell says. “The robust Kollaborate cloud-based feature set delivers exceptional flexibility and stability, powerful automation and enhanced customizability to insure our customers have the most efficient pipeline for their work.”
Chappell adds, “Many of the features in Kollaborate 1.3 come on the heels of numerous updates across the entire Digital Rebellion product line – over 100 in 2014 – giving our subscribers free integration with tools used every day by video professionals around the world.”
