Flexibility
Flex requires minimal bandwidth, so it can work anywhere with internet, and on any device – including Apple TV. It has a totally agnostic approach to the software and hardware you share content from. Flex provides a truly flexible reviewing experience: no time-consuming pre-rendering, uploads, downloads, file transfers, or special viewing hardware necessary.
Reduce costs
Up to 30% of production budget is spent on travel – but that doesn’t need to be the case. ClearView Flex cuts down on expensive travel cost as it stops the need to travel for vital edit sessions or VFX decisions. In some cases it’s shaving days off production schedules. Plus with pay-as-you-go options, you keep your finance director or production accountant happy too.
