Emmy recognition for Auie software revolutionising international film and TV production

--

Australia-based duo Shruti Patel and Jason JJ Jamieson are the recipients of a prestigious Engineering Emmy Award that is bestowed by America's National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. The Award is for engineering developments that have a revolutionary impact on the transmission, recording or reception of television. Ms Patel said the software delivers massive time and cost savings to major production companies around the globe. Group It For Me! automates the grouping and multigrouping processes in the post production workflow, Ms Patel said.

These processes are an integral part of post-production and previously took Assistant Editors hours of monotonous keystroking to complete. Because of the volume of work involved in grouping there was the potential for human error. Group It For Me! eliminates the possibility for mistakes and speeds up the editing process exponentially because a task that could take days is now completed in seconds. It is a game changer for those producing film and television projects using multi-camera setups, and we are delighted to receive recognition through an Engineering Emmy, Ms Patel said. It is entirely feasible that people won't have to learn how to manually group anymore thanks to our software.

JJ said he knows first-hand how tedious the grouping and multi-grouping is having worked as an Assistant Editor in Hollywood, South America, Europe and Australia.

This software is all about making life easier and freeing up precious time in a deadline-driven environment, he said. I've worked on everything from documentaries to feature-length films, television dramas and reality TV. There is not one instance in which you couldn't use Group It For Me! to speed up post-production.

JJ said feedback had been overwhelming positive with subscribers describing Group It For Me! as magic, a revelation, and one hundred times easier.

About Group It For Me!

Group It For Me! was launched by Shruti Patel and Jason JJ Jamieson in (Australian) Spring 2015. This software is an international first and used by television and film production companies around the world, including the likes of Warner Bros. (NZ), Fremantle Media, Shed Media and Channel 7 to name a few. Industry uptake is gaining momentum with almost 500 users now realising the cost and times savings from the automation of the grouping and multigrouping processes.

Explanation of grouping and multi-grouping process

Grouping and multigrouping is the process of organising different video and audio ready for post-production. Before Group It For Me! Editors would manually group them so it could be played concurrently for editing. This meant hours of tedious and repetitive work performed under tight deadlines. Users export their file to process it in the Group It For Me! platform and in mere seconds their file is grouped and ready for import back into Avid for editing. The software is available on a Group as you Go' or a subscription model, making it scalable for projects of all sizes.
