Blackbird’s award-winning cloud-native video editing platform is now integrated with the Knox Media Hub MAM system.

With just a couple of clicks, users are now able to remotely edit their assets without any software installation or file downloads, directly in the Cloud. With this partnership, Knox Media Hub (KMH), the leading Cloud-based MAM system, adds a key feature to its wide range of services for Media and Entertainment companies: fast professional video editing in a browser.

KMH clients, many of whom operate across 5 continents, run their Supply Chain, Catalogue, Media Management and Content Delivery operations in the Cloud, from a single user interface (UI) where leading Media and Entertainment applications seamlessly converge: Signiant and IBM Aspera for acceleration, Rev.com for subtitling, AWS Elemental for transcoding, Rights Tracker for rights management, Venera for quality control, and many more.

With the integration of Blackbird, editors working in Knox Media Hub will be able to access video content with instant precision, including supercharged live streams with growing files, RTMP, HLS and SDI inputs, in a frame-accurate, multi-track, multi-channel operation capable of schedule capture to enable remote operations.

This fully-featured professional cloud video editor lets users create simple clips, sequenced edits, compilations, highlights, and longer-form content, supporting up to 12 video tracks and 36 audio tracks, with direct voice-over, and real-time video and audio transitions.
