ES120 EditShare EFS Shared Storage Fundamentals Overview
ES220 picks up where ES120 ends, plunging into asset management, automation, and hybrid workflows utilizing Flow for Media Workflows, and – where relevant – Flex (EditShare in the cloud). Through role-play labs, students ingest dailies, auto-tag with Flow AI, push H.264 proxies to remote editors, and trigger archive jobs to S3-compatible tiers – while keeping Avid, Adobe, and Resolve artists happy.
