Case Study: Magic Box Editorial achieves seamless long-distance post-production collaboration with Avid Technology

Magic Box Edits Rent or Buy 2,000 Miles Away with Avid

Magic Box Editorial, a Nashville-based hybrid production company and post facility, needed a trusted way to handle editing for the HGTV series *Rent or Buy* even though the production team was more than 2,000 miles away in California. The company needed a proven, industry-standard workflow that could support long-distance collaboration, manage heavy amounts of footage, and give producers confidence in the quality and reliability of the remote post-production process using Avid Technology solutions.

Avid Technology implemented an end-to-end workflow on the Avid MediaCentral platform, including Avid Interplay | Production and an ISIS shared storage system, to organize media, enable collaboration, and speed up search and access for five editors and 12 crew members. The solution gave Magic Box scalable storage, better media management, and the flexibility to keep more content live; as a result, the team could efficiently deliver high-quality reality TV content and expand without being limited by technology.
