Does anybody have any recommendations for screen sharing with remote clients?
I work remotely from my clients and the majority of the time I export quicktime files and use either yousendit, dropbox or vimeo to post cuts for approval.
Recently though, I have one client with whom I want to actually work collaboratively while I edit. I've tried Webex but it doesn't support my dual monitor Symphony so I have to rearrange all my windows onto one monitor. It also doesn't recognize the Matrox mini for audio output so I've been using Skype on my iPad camera pointed at the video monitor with the volume turned up to monitor the editing. Not exactly and elegant solution and Skype has a tendency to freeze when traffic gets high.
I know about Avid Sphere, but that is geared towards much bigger post houses and not a one man cutting indie doc features. Way out of my price range.
I even considered bailing on Avid and going to Adobe after 22 years on Avid systems but Adobe Anywhere is only available on Premiere enterprise solutions. (or at least that's what I was told on Creative Cow). I'm relieved, because I really like cutting on Avid and don't want to abandon ship at this stage of the game.
I know FCP7 had the cinema output (or whatever it was called). But I was never really comfortable cutting long form with hundreds of hours of mixed format material in Final Cut.
I can't seem to find any solutions out there. It seems to me that with all the cloud based collaborative solutions someone would address the needs of the smaller shops which must be numerous at this point.
Anybody else faced with his problem? Any suggested solutions? Fuze, AFrame etc all seem to only deal with exported clips. Is there no affordable streaming solution?
Thanks
