Content creators using Apple’s Final Cut Pro can now share files with a new workflow extension from Alteon.io, a cloud-based hub designed specifically for creatives. The workflow extension is available on the App Store for free (here).
Rather than shipping hard drives between collaborators, users can upload files directly to Alteon’s cloud storage platform, and can then share that media with anyone in the world, setting permissions and optional expiration dates for added security.
After installing Alteon’s workflow extension for Final Cut Pro, users can download their media from Alteon directly into Apple’s non-linear editing (NLE) system, where they can view and edit their footage. Collaborators with access to the project in Alteon can then download the original file or an automatically generated proxy, which is especially useful when working with professional file formats such as Blackmagic RAW, which Alteon natively supports.
Alteon also states that its team is also developing new ways to further streamline workflows, including the ability to view timestamped comments, made in Alteon, within Final Cut Pro.
“Our core mission is to democratize the creative industry, breaking down the barriers that have long prevented independent freelancers, content creators and small businesses from realizing their full potential,” says Matt Cimaglia, co-founder of Alteon. “With our new workflow extension for Final Cut Pro, we’re meeting dedicated members of the creative community where they are, helping them work within a post-production framework they already know and love.”
The workflow extension for Final Cut Pro is Alteon’s second extension for an NLE, following their extension for Adobe Premiere Pro, which the company revealed in September 2021.
