globally revolutionising the way a project is edited
Nick Long, Managing Director at Salon, explains, “By using full bandwidth automated file transfer, SalonSync enables teams to work remotely as close to how they would do all together, with media workplaces and shared projects.
“We send a pre-configured SalonSync box - which includes WD Red Pro NAS storage - to each of member of the edit team. A simple plug and play to the internet (encrypted inside our secure integrated VPN) and then your box starts to communicate with our servers, keeping all your team in sync. The system is totally automated & secure. Unlike a lot of sync solutions, SalonSync has been designed to be totally hands-free and therefore there is no frustrating organising of folder structures after a sync or most importantly Avid database rebuilds!
“All the file and folder management is done by the system and you can continue to use your editing system without even knowing what’s going on in the background. By including SalonProjects you can even share your Avid project with Avid-style Bin Locking. The SalonCloud app for Mac or Windows makes connecting to and managing our services simple and secure.
“In addition we can also integrate with on premise Nexis should you wish to keep a cutting room base or mcr updated.
“By placing our MiniSync system on-set you can transfer transcoded rushes from shoot to edit rather than using couriers or alternative file transfer services. Basically it saves you both time and money.”
the future for SalonSync
Salon is continuing to integrate with a number of partners, with new features being rolled out all the time, the latest being easy uploads from anywhere globally at short notice to the SalonSync network using
MASV.io
But even when lockdown finally finishes, and our industry returns to some sort of normality, there is still a very bright future for SalonSync. The system can continue to provide set to edit transfers, as a backup tool or when an editor wishes to split their work/home life balance. SalonSync is truly revolutionising the way a project is now edited.

Love Productions started working on ‘Great British Bake Off’ just as the UK’s first lockdown came into effect. They needed to find a way to get dispersed editors working from home, without having to shuttle drives at great expense around the UK, as many did not have the stable internet required to work with other solutions.
Chris Taylor, Post Production Manager at Love Productions, explains how they worked closely with Salon to devlop the initial SalonSync, solving all their editorial requirements.
“SalonSync enabled us to have our large editorial team work as closely to how they did pre-Pandemic when they were on the premises. We are not spending hours copying media to drives manually or spending a fortune sending couriers long distances, our editors are working on shared Avid Media seamlessly. The system needs zero management from us, media just goes back and forth automatically. It is now a pivotal part of Love’s editorial workflow and with Nexis integration it means we are in a position to move back to the office quickly and at anytime. It lets teams start up instantly as media is available and switch between projects as they are shot and new material is added.”
beast without the burden
Britbox’s recent revenge thriller, ‘The Beast Must Die” would not have been possible without SalonSync’s help. Filmed on the Isle of White, but with the editing work needing to be done during the UK’s second lockdown, SalonSync enabled the editors to work from home and ensure it was released on time.
Mike Jones, an editor on ‘The Beast Must Die’, said, “With an editing team of 5, all working from home for over 6 months, SalonSync offered completely seamless integration - it was brilliant. I saved 2 hours every day not having to commute.”
Dan Roberts, another editor on the team, added, “’SalonSync made the whole project run so smoothly. It was just like we were on shared storage in Soho. Except the view was better and the coffee wasn’t as good...’”
