Manage Compound Assets

QuarkXPress, HTML, Adobe InDesign, and FrameMaker utilize multiple linked files such as images and fonts to create a compound document. ActiveMedia maintains these relationships—ensuring the package is stored, versioned, and managed correctly. The document or its components (such as a photo or illustration) can be edited independently-allowing parallel workflows, yet maintaining the integrity of the print-ready document.

ActiveMedia is well-suited for the management of video, advertisements, lectures, short-form clips, media libraries, image libraries and more. Features like metadata-driven workflow, version control, and file transcoding help streamline video production and distribution processes. ActiveMedia supports all major video file formats including MPEG, QuickTime, RealMedia, and Windows Media.
