Capture One Live Is a New Real-Time Collaboration Tool
As a global community, we collaborate remotely with more frequency than ever. To respond to the growing demand from its community of photographers, Capture One has unveiled Capture One Live, a real-time collaboration tool that lets users observe tethered photography; follow along with edits; and view, rate, and tag photos from a selected collection. “On nearly every shoot these days, I’m streaming my screen with a team of remote clients from the brand or agency. It’s opened up incredible remote work opportunities while keeping the production size down. The problem is that these streaming softwares can generally be clunky to run alongside my workflow. Capture One Live is an amazing new tool that will allow me to collaborate with a remote team seamlessly inside of the program, which is so epic. Really excited to use it, and it’s just another value-add to an essential part of my photoshoot workflow,” said Philip Edsel, photographer, creative director, and Capture One Ambassador.
Capture One Live was first released as a beta last July. The new tool is ready for public use after months of further development and iteration.
“We are inspired by our global community of photographers, witnessing how they connect and collaborate between themselves and with other creative and production disciplines, across geographies and time zones. We marvel at their collective pursuit of the perfect angle, the most impactful colors, and getting to the end result in the fastest way possible,” said Rafael Orta, Capture One CEO.” Collaboration is oxygen to the creative process, and we are so proud and so excited about all the ways Capture One Live is going to bring all participants together, making the photoshoot participative and collaborative, wherever you are.”
You can use Capture One Live to work in real-time with fellow photographers, team members, and clients, and you can use ‘any browser’ on ‘any device.’ This means that a photographer can be shooting tethered in Los Angeles while a client in New York watches in New York and a collaborator in London rates and tags images as they’re captured. Or, a client can make selects halfway across the world while the photographer isn’t even in the studio or doesn’t have Capture One open on her computer at all.
There’s no limit to the number of active Live Sessions or how many files you can share in a session. Capture One Live allows for 25 simultaneous collaborators. Capture One Live is not included in an existing Capture One license or subscription. It will be available as a paid add-on at an introductory rate of $9.99 per month.
