Exploring Core: Your Studio's Essential Tool for Production Asset Management and Seamless Collaboration

Core is a production asset management platform built specifically for film and TV studio production projects and libraries. Ideal for integrated marketing departments in studios and perennial production companies managing pre-release assets, and for top distribution studio production arms and creative services teams handling extensive asset libraries and media logistics.

Today’s technology has pushed boundaries to make it easier than ever for filmmakers to achieve their creative vision. Project collaborators no longer need to be situated in the same city in order to provide their input, insight, and expertise. And because of this, having one hub for all to access their media is invaluable. A secure production asset management system is an imperative part of a production, ensuring proper organization and tracking of video, audio, still images and documents throughout the lifecycle of a project.

Sohonet’s Core production asset management tool is the premiere centralized repository for files during the production, post, and distribution process. Core’s robust features and enhanced security ensure that files stay organized and only in the hands of approved users.

Endless Collaboration

Every project and every team has different needs when it comes to managing their media. Core takes the guesswork out of the process and allows users to organize their assets to suit their workflows. They can create libraries, name and tag files, label various versions, and share with others on a production with the single click of a button.

Core enables stress-free collaboration, no matter where members of a production team are based. The scalable platform was designed with enterprise clients in mind and is optimal for projects ranging from high-budget studio films to television series, indies, and everything in between – a true benefit for productions of all sizes and budgets.

Core provides an unsurpassed user-experience, tailored to each project’s unique workflow. The intuitive interface can connect to third-party applications, enabling teams to explore and exchange ideas, organize files, and provide notes and approvals all within one location. Users can leverage integration with popular third-party tools like Box, enabling quick uploads from collaborators, vendors and crew with two-way file sharing.

Core’s secure, near-time review capability keeps teams connected during the review process. Collaborators can review dailies, cuts, and other production assets, annotate and provide notes, and make key creative decisions all in one place.

Best in Class Security

Security is of the utmost importance when handling content files before a project is released. The secure technology behind Core is second to none, allowing creators to safeguard their content and streamline their post-production workflow.

Core's advanced security works to ensure that all assets can only be accessed by those with a right to view or use and gives users complete control of the partner authentication process as well as how many times a link can be downloaded. Core can also add encryption and visible and forensic watermarking to files for heightened security. Sohonet has taken every step necessary to address potential security risks to ensure that Core is the best in its class.

To enhance reliability, Core includes a robust data backup feature. This ensures that files are protected against any potential errors or deletions, keeping the production on-track for final delivery. And if immediate assistance is ever needed, Core is backed by 24x7, white-glove support, taking the hard work of implementation off your hands and into the hands of our trusted support team.

The Evolution of Core

Core became part of Sohonet’s film and TV solutions portfolio after their acquisition of 5th Kind in 2023. As Core continues to evolve, it will transform into a new and enhanced product called Storylink.  Stay tuned for this exciting transformation that will revolutionise and streamline your workflows.
