Disguise offers a cloud solution for the media and entertainment sector

Designed to manage complex projects in a web browser, disguise Cloud is a new set of cloud applications that will enable end-to-end remote collaboration in any media and entertainment production.

Whether it's a simple video playback or a complex project with 3D files, disguise Cloud will facilitate collaboration by seamlessly connecting remote clients with technical operators and directors on set.

Niall Thompson, head of cloud solutions at disguise, comments that “our goal is simplify the creative process and allow artists to tell inspiring stories. “After years of helping creatives leverage real-time concert visuals for the likes of J Balvin and Guns N’ Roses, LED volumes for the biggest film and VFX studios and live broadcast graphics on Eurosport, MTV and ITV, we know that ambitious productions aren’t possible without remote teams that can work together.”

The problem many remote teams face is that they have no choice but to jump between cloud-based tools from different companies. The result is often duplicate files, multiple monthly subscriptions, and a disjointed workflow. With disguise Cloud, this process is greatly simplified by providing all the applications a team could need to store, preview and review high-resolution media, tag content, and leave comments on projects in the cloud, all on a single platform.

In addition to facilitating collaboration across time zones, disguise Cloud will soon ensure that media files can shared more securely thanks to support for passphrase protection, multi-factor authentication, expiration links, and watermarking. For creatives, this means less time worrying about potential intellectual property data leaks and more time to focus on iterating creative ideas.

The cloud platform will offer a unified Disguise login, allowing one-click access to all Disguise cloud services, as well as Disguise Designer software, the ultimate software for visualizing, designing and sequencing projects from concept to presentation. Cloud Login offers multi-factor authentication as standard for added security and allows users to access disguise Cloud using their existing social login credentials.

Another of the main applications available at launch is disguise Drive, a web-based storage space that allows teams to securely upload and review all of their project media. disguise Drive supports images, videos, and 3D file formats such as .fbx, glTF, and .obj, and features smart folders to organize files by type, recently added, or any other custom settings in just a few clicks.

“Estoy increíblemente orgulloso de abrir este nuevo capítulo en la evolución de Disguise. Ver la integración de la próxima generación de herramientas que permite a nuestra comunidad trabajar juntos desde cualquier lugar, al tiempo que amplía el alcance de disguise a nuevas partes interesadas, nos permite abrir el futuro de la colaboración para la industria de M&E. El abanico de herramientas que estamos introduciendo en nuestra estrategia Cloud demuestra la madurez de disguise como plataforma integrada”, afirma el director general de disguise, Fernando Küfer.
