LONDON—Non-scripted TV production company Magilla Entertainment has acquired a Forscene professional video editing software. The company will use the system for the Discovery Channel show “Diesel Brothers.”

The Forscene platform provides access to hours of footage from the show immediately after the shoot, log and search during production, and allows for the production and post-production teams to collaborate on material needed from shoots, says Magilla. Forscene can run on most devices over a standard Internet connection, provides multicam and multigroup functionality, has auxiliary TC capabilities, and can move work across other NLE platforms.

Forscene is a non-linear editing platform created by Forbidden Technologies.

LONDON—After a test run on the series ‘Football Town,’ Leftfield Entertainment decided to deploy Forbidden’s Forscene video editing software throughout all of its production companies. Leftfield Entertainment production companies help produce shows like ‘Pawn Stars,’ ‘Counting Cars’ and ‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey.’

Forscene is a cloud-based editing software that can power workflows from creation to delivery. During the production of ‘Football Town,’ Forscene provided remote access to media, which allowed producers in the field to collaborate with the post-production team at base.

Leftfield Entertainment owns five production companies, Leftfield Pictures, Sirens Media, Loud TV, Outpost Entertainment and Riot Creative.

LONDON—Post-production house Run VT has announced that it has added Forbidden Technologies’ Forscene video editing software to its post-production kit. Run TV clients are using Forscene to view, log and begin rough-cutting assemblies.

Forscene offers a pay-as-you-go approach and allows users to securely log-in to review and organize materials anywhere with an Internet connection.

Two Run VT clients are currently utilizing Forscene for a number of different reality TV shows to handle their high-shoot ratios.

LONDON—Virtual reality is coming down the pipeline, but Forbidden Technologies will look to offer IBC 2015 attendees virtual workflows as it will premiere its end-to-end virtualized workflow for post-production and distribution of video content. The hardware independent technology combines the company’s Forscene system with the Microsoft Azure cloud computing platform.

The workflow has the Forscene ingest server run as a virtual machine on the Microsoft Azure platform to transcode and ingest live broadcast streams into Forscene accounts quickly after the life feed. Video editors can create clips or highlights using Forscene’s NLE from any location. Upon completion, the sequence is dropped back into the Azure for conforming and distribution.

IBC attendees can experience the workflow at Forbidden Technologies’ booth, 8.B38e. They will compete in a simulated car race and then edit it on Forscene without hardware.

IBC 2015 will take place from Sept. 11-15 in Amsterdam.
