Hive Editor
Full-process professional editing, from material processing to final delivery.
A professional NLE covering the complete workflow from media processing and editing to transcoding and export — designed for broadcast production, news workflows, multi-camera editing, and new-media content creation.
Overview
Media Hive Editor is Sobey's full-process professional NLE designed for broadcast and new-media production on Windows. Covering the complete workflow from material processing and editing to transcoding and final export, it delivers three core advantages: flexible adaptability, comprehensive functionality, and efficient collaboration.
Challenge
Professional editing workflows must balance broadcast-level precision with the speed and flexibility required for new-media production. Fragmented tools for editing, effects, audio processing, and delivery can create inefficient handoffs and limit production efficiency.
Two production speeds
Broadcast production requires precise, professional finishing, while short-video and advertising workflows demand faster turnaround and flexible creative adaptation across different production scenarios.
Multi-camera scale
Live broadcasts and interviews generate complex multi-camera material that requires efficient synchronization, organization, and editing workflows.
Professional audio workflow
Broadcast and professional productions require precise multi-channel audio control, including mixing, adjustment, and audio-video synchronization throughout the editing process.
Cross-NLE collaboration
Professional facilities often use multiple editing platforms, requiring efficient project exchange with systems such as Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere Pro without rebuilding timelines.
Solution
Media Hive Editor handles HD and UHD projects in one flexible workflow, adapting to different production scenarios, cycles, and delivery formats.
- Effects and CG — A dual-mode Simple/Full effects editor brings transitions, filters, keyframe animation, and CG tools — titles, subtitles, curves, hand-drawn arrows — backed by a template library; curve-based speed editing covers slow motion and ramps.
- Multi-camera — Vertically grouped material supports 16-camera multi-cam editing with real-time switching.
- Audio — The multi-channel mixer runs Mono, Stereo, 5.1, and 7.1 with gain, noise reduction, fades, and vocal recording aligned to picture.
- Interchange and delivery — FCP XML and AAF export exchanges projects with Avid Media Composer and Premiere Pro, and integrated transcode delivers broadcast codecs from DNxHD to ProRes.
