Checkout the latest from Shade., In this video, I'm excited to introduce a new feature within our collections: session-based watermarking. When you enable this option, the download assets feature will be grayed out, preventing viewers from downloading the content. You'll also see a watermark when you play the assets, which enhances security and stops screen recording. I encourage you to explore this feature and see how it can improve the security of your deliverables., Use Loom to record quick videos of your screen and cam. Explain anything clearly and easily – and skip the meeting. An essential tool for hybrid workplaces., In this video, I introduced our new feature for duplicating collections, which streamlines the process of managing permissions for different stakeholders. For example, we can create a collection for the editing team with editing access, and then duplicate it for C-suite executives, ensuring they only have viewing access. This feature saves time by eliminating the need to recreate collections and re-add files. I encourage you to start using this duplication feature to make your workflow more efficient., In this video, I’m excited to share a new feature that allows you to open files directly in their default applications when the drive is mounted. Previously, you could only open files within the mount, but now you can right-click and select 'open in default application' for a more seamless experience. For instance, PDFs will open in Pages, videos in QuickTime, and audio clips in iTunes, depending on your settings. I encourage you to try this out and see how it enhances your workflow!, In this video, I introduced a new feature in our facial recognition technology that allows for better identification of individuals, even when they are wearing helmets or appear in different ways. By adding a profile picture and reference images for each person, we can enhance the accuracy of our AI in recognizing faces across various contexts. I encourage you to utilize this improved method to ensure we get the exact results we need from our media. Please make sure to verify the reference images for accuracy before we proceed with the auto indexing. This enhancement is designed to streamline our workflow and improve our results., In this video, I introduced a new feature that allows you to edit metadata within a specific drive. By navigating to settings, selecting the drive, and clicking on metadata, you can view and manage all your metadata. You have the option to edit, archive, or delete metadata, which can be helpful if your workflow has changed. Additionally, you can create new metadata from the same menu. I encourage you to explore this feature and see how it can benefit your work., In this video, I demonstrate our duplicate detection feature, which helps manage files effectively within our workspace. When I upload a file and place it in multiple folders, the system identifies these duplicates and allows us to view them in one place. This gives us the opportunity to delete any unnecessary versions, streamlining our file management process. I encourage you to explore this feature and utilize it to keep our workspace organized., In this video, I’m excited to introduce a new feature for managing PDFs within Shade. With the annotation tool enabled, you can easily highlight text and add comments, which will be visible in the comments section. For example, you can highlight a sentence and say something like 'love this' or request changes by saying 'remove cougas please.' This functionality will greatly enhance our ability to collaborate on PDF documents. I encourage you to start using this feature to streamline your workflow!, In this video, I’m excited to show you the new comments notifications feature within Shade. You'll notice that assets without comments will not display any notifications, while those with comments will have a clear indicator. This allows for quick visibility into which assets have discussions happening. I encourage you to check this out and start engaging with the comments on your assets!, In today's Future Friday, I'm excited to introduce a new feature related to our views: the tile view. This view, which I personally love, offers a visually appealing way to display collections. You can see how a client would receive assets in this format, making it quite impactful. I encourage you to explore this new tile view and see how it enhances your presentations. Let me know your thoughts!, Use Loom to record quick videos of your screen and cam.
