Drastic Technologies adds secure remote review for Adobe, Avid, Resolve
Drastic Technologies details its FlowCaster software, which enables secure, low-latency, high-quality video collaboration and review workflows for post-production. The platform integrates with major editing suites such as Adobe Premiere, Avid Media Composer, and DaVinci Resolve, allowing users to share outputs over IP using various protocols like SRT, WebRTC, and RTMP. FlowCaster also offers virtual camera functionality for integration with video conferencing applications such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams, and supports hardware inputs like SDI/HDMI and SMPTE 2110 for production environments.
Key Takeaways
- FlowCaster supports Adobe Premiere, Avid Media Composer, and DaVinci Resolve workflows with time code, closed captions, metadata, and low latency.
- The software uses IP protocols including SRT, WHIP, UDP, RTP, and RIST for secure video and audio streaming.
- FlowCaster.live adds WebRTC-based review tools such as webcam/chat, text and emoji comments, telestration, and session marker import/export.
- VirtualCam can present FlowCaster output as a camera in Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Google Meet, and GoTo Meeting.
- FlowCaster can ingest SDI, HDMI, NDI, and SMPTE 2110 sources, with support for AJA, Bluefish444, Blackmagic, and Matrox hardware.
Why It Matters
FlowCaster brings remote review closer to an editor’s local monitor by keeping media in place and sending frame-accurate output with time code, captions, and metadata. That matters for post-production teams that need color-accurate or approval-driven workflows, not just generic screen sharing. It also extends into the broader collaboration stack through FlowCaster.live, VirtualCam, and support for Adobe, Avid, Resolve, and major meeting apps. Watch for adoption signals around the live review panels and the FlowCaster.live workflow features, especially Adobe’s UXP panel and Avid’s Live Review Panel.
