![]() ![]() I think Mimiq is a great addition to Hedge because, like most of Hedge’s products, it aims to streamline repetitive or cumbersome tasks in the world of video editing and processing. The only exception to this rule (of perpetual licensing) is PostLab, as it relies on cloud storage and thus incurs ongoing costs. If you choose not to update, your software will continue to run and nothing will change you will even receive critical security updates. Paul even suggests upgrading only when new features are added that are actually useful to you, so the company can gather feedback on those features. After that, you can decide if you want to renew the license. These are all perpetual licenses that include upgrades and support for one year. Other than that, there are different tiers (and cross grades from legacy licenses) available: image credit: Hedge ![]() The new Mimiq is available immediately and comes with a 10-day trial. There are also multi-activation licenses, so not everyone needs their own license key, and even granular remote deactivation via Hedge’s online license manager is possible. As part of the Hedge family, you can now move licenses between computers. A version for Microsoft Windows is also available and has its own code base to achieve the best possible result.įurthermore, licensing becomes easier, as Mimiq licenses were previously tied to the MAC addresses of the host computers. Now that Mimiq is part of Hedge ( article here), there are some new additions: This is an entirely new version of Mimiq that is fully Apple-Silicon-native. Mimiq makes Media Composer believe it’s talking to a NEXIS system, and therefore all the features that come along with that are being enabled. In a nutshell, Mimiq lets you use your own shared storage, but with the benefits of bin locking when working collaboratively with Avid Media Composer. You are free to choose the hardware depending on your requirements. Developed by Indiestor, another NAS vendor, it doesn’t tie you to its own hardware to enable bin locking in Avid Media Composer. Mimiq, on the other hand, has taken a different approach. The downside is that you again need to purchase a NAS storage solution from a specific vendor to use the bin locking feature. Unless you use a hardware solution from another NAS vendor to solve the same problem. Using NEXIS hardware is the only way to use conflict-free shared storage in Avid Media Composer. ![]() So, the company really covers all the bases here, from camera to archive. Not only have Windows versions been added, but also all sorts of workflow apps, from offloading to transcoding ( EditReady) and visual verification ( ScopeBox), collaboration for FinalCut Pro and Premiere Pro ( Postlab), archiving ( Canister), and more. Image credit: HedgeĪll of this is still true today, and Hedge is still the flagship product in the portfolio, but that portfolio has grown significantly over the years. It let you transfer verified copies from the camera’s recording media to your hard drive and multiple backup destinations while making sure everything arrived safely. In the beginning, Hedge (for Mac, there was no Windows version at the time) was a fairly straightforward, but very efficient and fast offloading software. In case you don’t know Hedge, Paul Matthijs Lombert, CEO of the company, gives a brief overview of Hedge’s beginnings and current state. These hardware units not only provide teams with ample shared storage over the network, but they also monitor individual editors’ access to specific bins so that that bin is locked to all other editors. centrally so that any editor can easily access it? And how do you avoid conflicts when you’re working on a particular asset, so no other editor should be able to change it during the process? How can you store all the footage, audio, effects, timeline snippets, etc. Now, if you are such an editor, but you are not the only one working on a particular project, but rather with an entire team of editors, a collaborative workflow needs to be established. When working with Avid Media Composer, editors typically organize their footage (and other assets) into bins, which is what the corresponding folders are called in the Avid world. The only other way to do this is to buy into Avid’s proprietary NEXIS hardware. Mimiq allows Avid Media Composer users to work collaboratively on shared timelines and storage without interfering with each other. keyboard_arrow_rightCameras of the Yearĭuring IBC 2022 we met with Paul Matthijs, CEO at Hedge for a friendly conversation that covers the latest activities of the company including the acquirement of Mimiq, a leading developer of so-called Bin Locking software.keyboard_arrow_rightGear Guides by Type.keyboard_arrow_rightGear Guides by Budget. ![]()
