Note: This device is not for everyone, it’s designed for teams (2+) who need to be able to access the same media files, share files fast and edit in real time regularly. If you just need a backup or only share files on occasion, then cloud storage works great. If you have any questions about your workflow, pricing, or configuration options: www.promax.com/PremiereGal
Kevin - The Basic Filmmaker it will vary depending on needs of your team, you can fill out the form with what space storage you will like, It should start at $1899.
hello premiere Gal, I'm a fan of yours, I've learned so many things about premiere since my profession is in the media industry here in the Philippines. it really helps a lot. thank you! hope to meet you in the future.
Seems really cool - and we've wasted so much time as of late doing it the old way. Can you daisy chain the hubs for more storage? We're working on features with 40TB+ of footage, and while we could relegate proxies to the hub for space, if we need full Rez media for color correction, that would be idea. Thanks again!
Hey Rob, Nathaniel from ProMAX here. If you want more storage on a MediaHub you can connect a USB3 or Thunderbolt 3 RAID. We have our own, but honestly most any TB3 RAID will be awesome. We also have larger servers, that's what we've done for the last 10+ years, but most people don't want a 200TB, 3U rack mount server in their house. ;)
@@njc111222 This is literally too good to be true. You have no idea how much crap we've been through trying to remote work with people all over the world. THANK YOU!!!
Premiere Gal yeah that would be a bit unpractical. It works fine, the issue I have is to know when al the files are uploaded so I can start downloading all the files.
Vegard Heyerdahl It’s mainly designed for teams (of 2 or more) that all need to share and edit simultaneously (or to easily pass projects back n’ forth), not really for freelancers that work solo. But if you work with someone consistently, enough, it’s worth it.
This blows my mind. This would be extremely helpful. I also have a video intern right now and his internet speeds are awful. We sync up by having him come by with a hard drive lol.
Brad Poirier - Recommended for both parties to have high speed. I have 1 giga fiber, while syncing happens in real time, if one person has slower speed, it can cause syncing delays.
Premiere Gal their download is OK, but the upload is only about 2-3 mbps... so long as they can receive the footage I’m good! They just can never send it back lol
So it sounds like the hub is on, (or should be) even when the computer is not. So it syncs to the remote hub when ever the status of the other hub has changed while working or away. The media can download overnight and/or while you are away from the box as well. Correct?
This product really hits a huge need for a lot of people and small setups. Does it only work with Premiere? And are 2 licenses necessary for you and your intern? It seems odd to me that on their website Promax also offers a 1 license option. How would that work?
Hey Kim, it's funny the 1 license threw me off when we first put that up, but the I was reminded most of our clients have our large enterprise class video editing servers, so we have had quite a few that already own a ProMAX Platform just purchase a single MediaHub. This works great with all the major NLEs Premiere (of course!), Resolve, Avid & FCP X. Hope that helps!
Nathaniel from ProMAX here... Mediabank tends to focus on review/approval/distribution/monetization of video assets; where MediaHub focuses on being the storage for creating those assets. So if you're working with 2 other people on a project, while you're shooting/edting/doing vfx etc, you'd be using the MediaHub as storage to sync project & media files between the 3 Adobe CC users (or other applications). Then when you were done, you'd upload an asset to Mediabank to send it to a client for notes/distribution. Hope that helps!
I love your tutorial.I started my channel I download mixkit project file but I could not edit properly can u make a tutorial on it if I send you link ???
@@PremiereGal I think premiere pro templates then opener titles on mixkit text images animation and I want to edit just text for my intro that's it I will send you file tomorrow.I just want you to make a video on it for me and many student facing this problem here
You can do the same with a cloud sync on Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc. Say in OneDrive, you both set a folder that syncs down and "stays on device". Any files you upload to it, will also auto download to your intern's device as you sync. You make a change on a file, and it is instantly changed on her device. No need to download manually or have different paths. There are two positives of doing it this way. 1.) It's in the cloud so all files are backed up. If one of you overwrites a file, you can recover it. 2.) Price. A good cloud storage is $5 a month... $60 a year.. VS ProMAX $2,000. Say you have a team of 3. That's $180 a year vs $6,000.
Nathaniel from ProMAX here, great question! We are big fans of Dropbox and promote it for our clients, who are all video teams. Its a great option that we outline here www.promax.com/20200730/remote-options theres even a step-by-step tutorial to set that up with our high performance servers. As far as differences from dropbox, its several things that add up to a big differnece. To highlight a few... Dropbox transfers data as files, we transfer data as blocks (big speed difference for large video files), Dropbox uploads to cloud storage then downloads, we shared in a Peer to Peer network (speed between users), DropBox requires both computers on to sync, we us the NUC hardware so syncing can happen 24/7. In fast turnaround environments these and a few other things are often game changing. You can also do things like use a separate laptop to render timelines (which is what I do now). There is a 17 min webinar here that goes into details www.promax.com/20200730/webinar/mediahub Hope that helps!
R Spivack I wouldn't recommend having the ProMax be your primary location, you should still have backups. With ProMax you can also have attached RAID storage through the USB ports, but I just store the other files on local SSD backups and if I want to backup any other files in the Cloud that's when I use Google Drive.
Hey Evan, just curious, can you set the OneDrive to sync with an external drive? I found cloud eats up my internal drive. I’d love to know how that works. Also, does one sync, sync when the computer is off or asleep? Promax has its own computer so if it’s on, it’s syncing. And promax hardware is just a one time fee. Not annual. But yes, it involves an investment, just like on site shared storage solutions, which are usually in the $5-8k range, some a little less. Thanks for sharing solutions that work for you.
@@PremiereGal Yes, you can set the destination of the sync with an external. The only issue with that is if you are doing this with a laptop and traveling without the external, OneDrive will have nowhere to sync to. No. OneDrive needs your computer to be on to sync, but these days, no one really turns their computers off anymore. My 9-5 is in IT (photography and video are a pro-hobby) and I have to force my users to reboot their machines once a week at minimum to flush their systems. I have a custom built 180TB RAID array at my photo studio, so I am not against using local storage. It's fast and has all my files for instant access. This system is backed up to Google Drive on a weekly basis plus I use cloud storage with the clients and editors. Promax's system is unique and interesting and if a business wanted to have something up and running instantly, sure go for it. But for the average consumer and small biz, I would go with cloud storage. You can see my tech in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XRv0Goanj8Y.html
@@EvanWasHere Thanks for all the info. Definitely looks like you have a good system in place. I'd be curious to test the speed of the OneDrive when I render my files in Premiere Pro.
Is it all that different than Dropbox auto sync feature? Where you select what folders you want synced on hard drives and as along as both parties have it selected things are automatically synced on both hard drives when files are added?
I’ll let ProMAX chime in on what the speed differences are, but I’m not familiar with Dropbox auto sync? Are you referring to the desktop app? I know from my experience the computer needs to be on or not sleeping for the sync to take place and it eats up my internal drive.

So it's just a NAS drive! Or your could just leave your workstation switched on so Dropbox syncs 24/7. You still have the slowness of the upload and download to deal with. A somewhat misleading video tbh
Hey Adrian, Nathaniel from ProMAX here. We love DropBox! Many our customers use it with our servers as outlined at www.promax.com/20200730/remote-options and that works well for some. Some video teams that we work with need something more immediate than the workflow you get with DropBox. Add peer-to-peer networking, block level transfers, dedicated hardware and performance tuning for video applications and it really is a game changer for many. If you’re interested in a more detailed why check out www.promax.com/20200730/webinar/mediahub. But yes, it is a NAS and it is awesome 😊
Hey Adrian - Yes, I think it could be called something like a remote networked attached storage. The key difference is that you get to work off of local SSD as opposed to DropBox syncs. I tried used DropBox syncs and found it lagged when I was using Premiere Pro.
The MediaHub? It's a server you can use to share files with your team and edit collaboratively. I use it with my intern to share media files and Premiere Pro production files.
Hey Joshua, Nathaniel from ProMAX. VPNs are great tools to connect to a network from any location and many of our customers use them as outlined at www.promax.com/20200730/remote-options in fact our large servers include a built in VPN for this. VPNs tend to fall short for our editors try to work remote, they slow file transfers compared this this methodology and it creates datasets that need to be reconciled, plus conforming/export is a next level pain the butt. Hence our users asking for something more, which is what we created. We have a 15 min webinar that goes into details www.promax.com/20200730/webinar/mediahub but if it was just a VPN I'd be pretty embarrassed to sell them for $1500 a pop ;)
