Avid NEXIS to EFS
EditShare EFS and FLOW help broadcasters and post-production teams move beyond storage environments designed around increasingly rigid workflows, fragmented tooling, and single-vendor production ecosystems.
Modern production workflows demand more flexibility
For some teams, this is a storage refresh. For others, it is an opportunity to move beyond production environments designed around a single editing ecosystem and modernize broader workflows across storage, media management, remote collaboration, automation, and AI-assisted search.
Mixed workflow support
Modern facilities increasingly need to support Media Composer alongside Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, remote contributors, producers, and reviewers within the same production environment.
Lower infrastructure and workflow overhead
Many facilities are looking to reduce rising storage, licensing, and workflow overhead tied to increasingly fragmented production environments. EditShare gives teams a more flexible and cost-efficient path forward.
Modern workflow requirements
Remote collaboration, AI-powered media discovery, workflow automation, and integrated MAM have become essential parts of modern production. Many facilities are reassessing whether traditional storage-centric platforms can keep pace with evolving production requirements.
What you get with EditShare
If you're planning a NEXIS refresh, EditShare gives you the opportunity to move beyond a storage-only decision and modernize the wider production workflow.
Performance designed for media. EFS delivers scalable bandwidth and reliability for collaborative editorial, finishing, ingest, and delivery workloads.
Choice across creative tools. Support Media Composer alongside Premiere Pro, Resolve, Final Cut Pro, and other creative tools.
Media management built in. FLOW adds production asset management, proxy workflows, searchable metadata, automation, and editorial integrations.
Efficient resiliency options. Distributed protection helps maximize usable storage while maintaining resilience.
One storage pool. Editors see one unified storage environment instead of fragmented drives and volumes.
Remote workflows for teams. SwiftLink supports secure remote access for Mac and Windows editors.
Search at the moment level. FLOW AI analyzes speech, faces, logos, scenes, and on-screen text to help teams find media faster.
Media Composer supported. Keep established Media Composer workflows, including bin locking, while expanding production flexibility.
The problem
When the facility was 100% Media Composer, Nexis was often the obvious choice. Now editors work across multiple creative applications, teams collaborate from anywhere, and organizations need media management, automation, AI-powered search, and remote access built into everyday operations. Many facilities are questioning whether another storage refresh is enough, particularly as remote workflows and future platform investments become increasingly tied to subscription models.
The current way
Storage designed around a single editing ecosystem leaves the rest of the facility working around it.
With EditShare
One platform covering shared storage, media management, automation, and AI-assisted search.
How it works
EFS delivers everything Avid editors need from Nexis, plus everything the rest of the team needs that Nexis can't provide.
Bin locking, project sharing, and real-time multi-editor access. EFS supports Avid workflows natively. No compromises.
Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, and Avid Media Composer on the same storage at the same time. Providing creative flexibility for your teams.
Add capacity and throughput by adding nodes. No forklift upgrades. No data migration. No downtime.
Storage pricing based on capacity, not the number of editors connected. Add team members without adding license costs.
More efficient than Nexis RAID. A full node fails and nobody stops editing. 40% more usable space than mirroring.
Remote editors mount EFS as local storage. No separate remote product. No Nexis Edge required.
Built for open workflows, not ecosystem lock-in
Support Media Composer alongside Premiere Pro, Resolve, remote teams, production MAM, AI-powered search, and hybrid workflows without forcing every part of production into a single vendor stack.
100s
Decades of experience helping broadcast and post facilities transition from legacy shared storage environments.
Integrated platform
Shared storage, production MAM, workflow automation, and AI-assisted search designed to work together.
