On Monday November 20th 2017 Netflix´s first German original series DARK celebrated its Germany premiere with more than 1000 viewers at the Zoo Palast Berlin. The mystery series by Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese, produced by Wiedemann & Berg Film und TV, was post-produced by ARRI Media and previously shot with the camera system ALEXA 65 and ultra-prime-lenses by ARRI Rental EU. DARK will be launched simultaneously on 1 December 2017 in 190 countries. ARRI Webgate was used during the shoot as dailies platform as well as during the whole postproduction for approvals and file exchanges. We are very happy that we could be part of the production.

Sven Nuri, Postproduction Supervisor DARK: "ARRI Webgate has become a really powerful tool. Without it, we could not have met all challenges on time.“

In addition to the ZIP download, there is now also the possibility to download files directly from the ARRI Webgate. Especially when downloading large amounts of data such as MXF files for the editorial room, this can be an advantage and greatly accelerate the workflow. With the latest browser versions of Safari, Chrome and Firefox, the current website can even be left and the download continues in the background.

You can sort by the newest and oldest clip-comment, by creator and if you want to see all comments chronologically by timecode. Use the arrow keys to jump from one comment to the next.

The filter function can also be used to hide comments. You can filter by content, username, date or frame. And conveniently, with a clip transition in the Playlist, the comment bar automatically slides to the current comment. ARRI Webgate, the Video Cloud-platform, ideal for feedback processes.

The ARRI Webgate Player now also has a video matte. The image formats 2.39, 1.85, 1.78 and 1.33 can be displayed as video overlay. In addition to the image format in red, the 5% title-safe area is also displayed in blue. So you can quickly control the image format of your video and the positioning of titles and captions. As an alternative to the lines you can also activate a crop, which surrounds the image formats with a black border.

The ARRI Webgate commentary functions simplify decisions in a team and approvals with customers. With drawings on images and videos as well as comments on images, frames or time spans, ARRI Webgate is the ideal video review platform .

An agency customer from ARRI Webgate wanted to simplify feedback processes with the help of Directlinks. We then enabled the comment function for Directlinks. Before the comment, the user was directed to a registration page where he could create a user account. Feedback could then be given in the logged-in state.

This was the first step in the right direction. It turned out, however, that this process requires further optimization. Our front end developer Markus has therefore subjected the commentary functions to a complete redesign. From now on it is possible to simply leave a frame-accurate comment through a Directlink and it requires no login.

A production customer had suggested if we could not make in and outpoints available for comments in ARRI Webgate. Perhaps one wants to point to a brand logo, which is visible in the picture for a certain time or a retouch is necessary over a certain period of time. Therefore, there are now also in- and outpoints for comments in videos.

The desire to draw in videos came from many different directions, from industry, marketing departments, productions and postproductions. We are particularly pleased to be able to offer this feature now. The comment and drawing functions are also available for galleries. We hope the new comments will help you in your workflows.

Best regards,
Your Constantin Seiler
