Radically Simple Media Management

If you want to view, tag, search and share your entire media collection with any web browser, Axle works with the DDP with no uploading necessary.

Axle is radically simple software for managing your video files through any web browser. Don’t confuse it with cloud software, however - the back end runs on a computer that you control, connected to the storage you already own, for ultimate security and control.

Axle is used every day by over three hundreds of media organizations, corporations, non-profits and universities around the world.

• Enhanced Media Management – Axle AI MAM offers cataloging, metadata management, and advanced search functionalities. Editing teams using Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Apple FCP can generate proxy media automatically, reducing reliance on high-bandwidth transfers and enabling seamless collaboration.

• Remote Access and Flexibility – Axle AI MAM provides remote access to streamable video proxies and assets, allowing teams to work from anywhere. This improves productivity and simplifies collaboration across distributed locations.

• Streamlined Workflows – Editors can use low-resolution proxies for review and editing, while high-resolution originals remain securely stored on DDP. This eliminates constant file transfers, optimizing bandwidth and efficiency.

• Integrated Axle AI MAM panel for Adobe Premiere Pro, and drag-and-drop Axle AI MAM app interface for Da Vinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro.

• Optional on-premise AI capabilities and workflow automation – Axle AI's Tags and Connectr software, both optionally available, can provide a range of key further on-premise capabilities including scene understanding, semantic vector search, speech transcription, face recognition, logo recognition and no-code workflow automation.

• Optional cataloging of R3D RAW, ARRI RAW, BlackMagic RAW Avid Media Composer MXF Op-Atom media – Axle AI's optional Advanced Transcode and Pro modules allow native cataloging, search and proxy generation of a range of advanced media formats.

• Scalable and Reliable Storage – DDP storage is designed for media-intensive workflows, with features like caching, tiering, folder volumes, and hard link support to handle any scale of operation.

Medeis

Find the media. Understand the story. Move the work forward.

COMING SOON

Imagine spending less time looking for files, and more time creating. Medeis is a media asset management platform in development, bringing media, metadata, projects and tasks into a connected workspace.

Imagine finding the right clip.

Start with your media library, search for the material you need, and preview a clip alongside its information. The aim is to make a growing collection easier to explore and understand.

Then give every asset context.

A filename is only the beginning. Metadata helps describe what an asset contains and why it matters, so useful material is easier to identify and find again.

Then bring the project together.

Connect media organisation with project and task management. Keep the work, priorities and progress in view, so the next step is easier to understand.

Then simplify the repetitive work.

Our vision for automation is to connect repeatable media-management steps into clear workflows, reducing manual handoffs and helping teams keep work moving. Automation capabilities will be detailed as development progresses.

Built around the way media teams work.

From finding material to organising a production, the goal is one clear path through your media and the work around it. Talk to us about your DDP environment and the workflow you would like to simplify.

Medeis is coming soon. The workflows described here introduce its direction; final features and availability will be confirmed separately.
