ActiveMedia CreativeConnections
Extending the power of ActiveMedia to users of Adobe InDesign and QuarkXpress
An ActiveMedia module, CreativeConnections™ extends the power of ActiveMedia to creative users of Adobe InDesign and QuarkXPress. Without leaving their layout application, creative users can interact with ActiveMedia to facilitate creative DAM workflow and ensure version control.
Have outsourced or distributed creative contributors? CreativeConnections provides a common digital media platform for dispersed creative teams to work together whether users are local or remote.
Powering a Creative Workflow
CreativeConnections unites the entire creative team with ActiveMedia, which acts as a central, shared digital media repository of both assets and layout files for cross-team, cross-location accessibility.
With drag-and-drop ease, creative users can create complex documents using all the approved assets that reside within ActiveMedia, then save their work back into the DAM for sharing with other team members. A DAM media storage repository manages the links between related assets so that when a graphic is updated, the new version appears in all locations immediately and automatically.
In addition, designers can access ActiveMedia to search, view, and download images, documents, layout files, and other digital media content from any location directly within their layout application—all controlled by the robust permissions and privileges model of ActiveMedia.
