Re: [Avid-L2] OT: Need photo database/DAM suggestion for big photo library

 

I have struggled finding a good solution to that problem as well. Frankly, we still rely primarily on MacOS itself which is pretty deft with images. Unlike video, stills should not require specialized storage, but most of us want an application that is adept at both stills and video. So far none of the video solutions I've looked at handle stills particularly well. (I have not looked a EditShare for this purpose)


I can recommend Neofinder for cataloging everything. Because Neofinder creates thumbnails and is location agnostic, it is a great solution for archiving and retrieval, but Neofinder does not actively process files. It's just a great media catalog. 

I am intrigued by MediaVault from DBi (www.digitalbcast.com) which I just saw at a show, simply because I liked the basic interface and it appeared to handle stills as deftly as it handles video. According to the sales rep, the development team is heavy on photographers and they have clients that use MediaVault primarily for stills. 

This was a superficial review so I'm not endorsing. Just suggesting. If anyone else has an opinion on MediaVault, I'd love to hear. I also did not price it. ;)

Cheers,

Sorry for the OT post but I'm banging my head against the wall on this one.

My company has been using Lightroom to organize stills for our clients, but there are a bunch of limitations that are killing us.

Mainly - Lightroom isn't really designed for server based, multi-user access. With the growing number of photos and the increasing number of people that need to access them, we are hurting to come up with a good solution.

We want to cloud-host multiple Terabytes of RAW photos and be able to download multiple formats depending on use and permissions.

I know the stock photo houses have this type of thing down, but we're not at the enterprise level of service (yet).

Can anyone here point me in the right direction?

Thanks
