Scale on demand. Add users, storage, and processing power on demand. Go from a small team to a large-scale production studio without changing your platform.
FLEX Cloud
Real-time collaboration in the cloud
A comprehensive, turnkey post-production platform on AWS — built for real-time editing, multi-layer timeline performance, and remote collaboration at any scale.
FLEX in action
Post-production that scales with you
From a single remote editor to a global studio, FLEX Cloud adapts to the size and speed of your operation.
Bring your own NLE. FLEX is completely agnostic. Work in Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, DaVinci Resolve, or any other NLE — no migration required.
Your cloud, your control. FLEX deploys inside your own AWS account. Your media never leaves your infrastructure, and you only pay for the resources you actually use.
Spin up workstations instantly. Launch GPU-accelerated virtual editing and VFX workstations in minutes through a simple UI. Spin them down when the project is done.
What's included
Everything you need, out of the box
FLOW, EFS storage, and virtual workstations — a complete production environment, turnkey deployed in your own AWS account.
FLOW-powered MAM
Ingest, index, manage, automate, and share video assets across workgroups — powered by EditShare's FLOW media management layer.
EFS storage layer
Software-defined storage built on AWS using the EditShare File System (EFS), scalable as a single node or in a clustered environment.
Virtual workstations
Remotely accessible, GPU-accelerated workstations powered by pre-configured Amazon Machine Instances (AMIs) for editing, VFX, and finishing.
SwiftLink hybrid
Already have on-prem workstations? No problem.
Bridge your existing facility to the cloud. EditShare SwiftLink connects your on-premises workstations directly to your FLEX Cloud instance, giving you the full power of cloud storage and collaboration without replacing a single piece of hardware. Use your existing edit suites — just extend them to the cloud.
- Use your existing on-prem workstations
- Seamless access to FLEX cloud storage
- Rules-based sync for backup and disaster recovery
Capabilities
Built for media. Engineered for the cloud.
AWS-native deployment
Deploy FLEX in your own AWS account in minutes via Modular Cloud Studio. No complex IT builds, no lengthy setup.
EFS clustered storage
Scale bandwidth and capacity independently with EditShare's software-defined storage layer, optimized for cost/performance on AWS.
GPU virtual workstations
Pre-configured AMIs deliver GPU-accelerated performance for Adobe, Avid, Resolve, and more. Editors just need a client machine and internet.

Full MAM capabilities — ingest, log, search, automate, and deliver — all integrated into the FLEX environment.
CloudDat transfer acceleration
High-speed file uploads from any location. Distributed teams can ingest and move media without sacrificing performance.
SwiftLink hybrid
Seamlessly bridge on-premises EFS and cloud storage. Set rules for backup, disaster recovery, or extending projects to the cloud.

Native integration with Adobe, Avid, Blackmagic, Apple, and Autodesk NLE packages. No rip-and-replace.
Security by design
AWS's built-in security augmented with EditShare access controls, audit logging, and encryption. Content stays in your account.
Workstation management
Integrated HP Anyware keeps virtual resource usage in check, helping you optimize compute costs across the team.
Deploy on AWS
Running EditShare in your own AWS account
FLEX Cloud deploys onto AWS infrastructure, and EditShare is available directly through AWS Marketplace for procurement against your existing commit.
FLEX can be deployed in minutes in AWS via Modular Cloud Studio. It eliminates the need for complex IT builds and delivers ready-to-use editorial storage and workflow tools.
