Laguna Niguel—Simian, the global leader in creative workflow and media management solutions has announced the release of the Simian Real Time Video Encoder™, a groundbreaking app that makes it simple to simultaneously encode and upload any size video file to the cloud. Available free to Simian users, the new app reduces the complexities involved with encoding and uploading video files to a single drag-and-drop operation. Even large files can be quickly uploaded to Simian. The app also ensures optimal playback.

“The Simian Real Time Video Encoder™ is the fastest way to upload video,” explains Simian co-founder Brian Atton, “and it requires no technical expertise or training. Users simply drag and drop a file into the bucket and the app does the rest.”

The Simian Real Time Video Encoder (RTVE™) saves time by facilitating the encoding on the user’s local computer, thereby eliminating the need to upload uncompressed video to a web-based application. It also simplifies the encoding process with pre-set profiles that ensure optimal video playback on all platforms. Simian’s Smart Encoding Technology ™ also enables the uploading of PDF, JPEG and other media file types and enables the coding to be bypassed where needed. In addition, the app lets you categorize, tag and add credits upon upload and also offers you the option to bypass.
