Adobe has just announced a new service/feature called “Adobe Anywhere” that allows video editors to collaborate on editing projects across the web. Using Adobe Anywhere, video editors can work with remote assets over the network and work on a single timeline without having to copy or transfer files to local systems, apparently without a loss of quality or speed. Seems a little too good to be true, but then again, so are most Adobe products (yes, I’m a fanboy). Check out this video to find out more.
