#Cinesync for game developers software#

While there’s a lot of engineering under the hood, we ensure that whatever features we add, cineSync retains its simple interface and intuitive interactivity.įinally, the main feature of cineSync, and still the reason why it’s used, is that interactivity between participants. Simplicity is important, because most people (but particularly directors and producers) hate having to learn new tools, or to use complicated tools that cost more time than they save. Facilities can run fully secure review sessions without the material ever leaving the safety of their firewalled facility. “play, pause, go to frame 27, draw an arrow” – and even that data is encrypted. As a company, we never have access to any client material – the only data that passes through us is control information, i.e. Regarding security, studios have always liked cineSync because no confidential material ever passes through any third-party servers. The third element is cineSync’s interactivity. RM: Security and simplicity absolutely remain crucial to what we do. We spoke directly to Rory McGregor, CEO of Cospective.įXGUIDE: cineSync has been the pioneer in interactive annotated review, what drove that in the past, was it security, (for example the files were never on CineSync servers) or was it avoiding heavy bandwidth requirements? Are these still the things that drive CineSync’s use and success today?
