Amsterdam, The Netherlands - September 12, 2013- ASSIMLATE, the industry's leading provider of DI and dailies digital workflow tools, announced today that its SCRATCH User Group Meeting at IBC 2013 is featuring a live preview of SCRATCH v8, with artists in four locations - Amsterdam, Miami, Los Angeles and Mumbai - all color-grading, compositing and finishing simultaneously on the same project. The artists will each contribute to the project in real-time and will share resources via a cloud-based central repository, while the source media will reside on only one of the systems. SCRATCH and SCRATCH Lab v8 usher in the next-generation of global collaboration among production or post-production artists by stripping away the barriers to productivity and creativity caused by location or proximity.

Our recent innovations in SCRATCH and SCRATCH Lab rental and subscription licensing have enjoyed overwhelming popularity because they removed the cost and update barriers for artists and embraced the evolving dynamics of today's freelance DI, VFX and dailies workforce , said Steve Bannerman, VP of Marketing at ASSIMILATE. SCRATCH v8 will again raise the bar as it blows away another significant barrier: location and proximity. SCRATCH and Lab artists will now be able to collaborate freely with others - within the same facility, across town, or halfway around the world - as easily as they can make a Skype call. We believe this is the beginning of a new era of productivity and creativity for our artists.
