For many creatives, it was simply the worst of times. There are few, if any, companies in the media production industry who were prepared for the sudden workflow shifts and shelter-in-place orders of March 2020 brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Nearly every production team was forced to make decisions and quickly plan for a type of remote, off-site work that's uncommon for media professionals, particularly editors. Aside from the sheer uncertainty of the situation, everyone was asking the same questions:
What is the best way to transport media to and from editors working remotely?
How can we preserve productivity as a team during the pandemic?
How might these circumstances change the way we work in the future?
Knowing our industry was struggling with these questions in an unsure time, Studio Network Solutions fast-tracked development of Nomad, a utility that allows EVO users to locate and retrieve proxy or source media for remote editing. Released on March 12th-nearly two weeks before many states mandated work-from-home orders-Nomad is much more than a temporary solution for remote editors needing a quick fix to keep projects moving forward; it's a powerful tool that enables creative workflows from anywhere in the world.
Many companies jumped at the opportunity to implement Nomad into their work-from-anywhere strategy. Feedback has been incredible, with some of these hard-working media professionals giving valuable insight into their transition to remote work, their experience using Nomad, and how they think this reshaped future could affect the way they produce content. Here are their stories.

Within his home office is a synthesizer setup he uses for his side music project. Beside that, there is an editing PC with two display monitors and a portable external hard drive.
As his setup may imply, Leitch and his colleagues at MediaSource were already strategizing a remote editing workflow prior to the pandemic. We had a team member that wanted to move back home a couple hours away, said Leitch, so we were fortunate enough to have developed a remote workflow prior to all of this. Using Adobe Premiere Pro's offline files transported via DropBox worked well enough for their remote editor. But when in-house production came to a halt in the face of the pandemic, they knew they needed a much more integrated solution to take their entire team off-site.

MediaSource became one of the earliest adopters of Nomad, and their editing team was quickly able to access the entirety of their EVO media library without worrying about cloud storage transfer speeds or rebuilding their workflow scheme. In fact, Leitch proudly shared his team's EVO folder structure with us, showing how simple it is to relink edited footage when the entire folder structure was imported directly via Nomad.
I'm so glad Studio Network Solutions rolled this out quickly and gave us a so
