London TV, film and advertising post-production facility, Suite, adds Postflux for Pro Tools backup and archive tool to its mix

Marquis – a leader in automated workflow operations for post-production, news and sports – is launching its Postflux for Pro Tools backup and archive tool at IBC. The software is designed to help professional audio users or administrators collate and package sessions for versioned backups and archives, from music producers looking to collate an Avid Pro Tools project and its media, to facilities with many creative operators who need to efficiently manage audio production workflows.

Postflux for Pro Tools scans and analyses disorganised Pro Tools source project files and resolves all associated media, providing automated protection for work-in-progress and finished sessions. It enables versioning on a project-level basis, with all media contained in the package ready for backup. Ideal for both short and long-form production workflows, or episodic projects, the software not only checks for missing media but also ensures project integrity from the point of origination through to the versioned backup, helping transform production efficiency and providing project protection.

“As an employee-owned post house, we take shared responsibility for our clients’ projects and our audio workflow needs to reflect this accordingly,” explains Matt Brace, Director of Audio at London-based post-production facility, Suite.

“Marquis’s new Postflux for Pro Tools software is quickly becoming an integral part in what we offer our clients, simplifying the responsibility of backup and archive of audio content.

“With fast-turnaround and TX-critical projects, adding Postflux to the mix has meant that our edit assistants can now take responsibility for the safety and integrity of audio projects and media, all from a web browser. They can select a whole series for archive, or restore a single episode for a client, but this can now be done from the production desk, not the audio suite. And even with this early version of Postflux, we're anticipating significant improvements in our productivity and efficiency in this area, bringing time and cost savings to what is otherwise quite a laborious task.”
