MelroseINC Unveils AWS Cloud Storage Performance Results for Video Editing Workflows
Proof of Concept Evaluates Avid NEXIS Cloud Storage in AWS and Beats 2 Leading Competitors in Real-World Post-Production Scenario LOS ANGELES, July 23, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MelroseINC, a Los Angeles-based leader in media technology solutions, announced the results of a groundbreaking cloud storage proof of concept (POC) designed to test real-world performance of cloud systems in high-demand TV and film post-production workflows. The initiative, driven by the company's MelrosePMC and MelroseTEC divisions, explored advanced cloud storage configurations within a DaVinci Resolve color correction, editing, and finishing environment. Unlike traditional tests conducted by vendors or end users, this proof of concept was independently conducted by the MelroseTEC team along with a group of software engineers with deep expertise in deploying AWS environments for industry clients globally. This team—cloud-native integrators with limited reliance on hardware—represent the future of infrastructure design in media technology. The Bottom Line: For post-production tasks like rendering and encoding, Avid NEXIS Cloud Storage in AWS delivers best-in-class performance and automation when measured against two leading competitors — cutting job time by anywhere between 40 seconds to 15 minutes. The Proof of Concept evaluated three key systems: Avid NEXIS Cloud Storage in AWS – A high-performance, hybrid architecture utilizing fast EBS storage Competitor #1 – Direct access to S3-compatible cloud object storage Competitor #2 – A file streaming solution using smart cache and S3 storage Key Finding: Rendering and Proxy File Creation: Avid NEXIS Cloud Storage in AWS emerged as the top performer, completing proxy generation 47% faster than Competitor #1 and 28% faster than Competitor #2 MelroseINC's proof of concept signals a major industry shift. "We're delivering total workflow solutions," said Zeke Margolis, VP of Cloud Solutions at MelrosePMC. "From traditional on-premise setups to flexible, hybrid architectures with workflows that blend on-premise systems, private media centers, and public cloud platforms, we're enabling companies to move beyond their existing hardware into PMC environments to stay agile, cost-effective, and competitive in a rapidly evolving media landscape." Working with Avid NEXIS Cloud Storage in AWS is quickly becoming an integral part of a production ecosystem that supports fast rendering, collaborative editing, and global remote access. "As the industry pivots to flexible hybrid and cloud-native workflows, the 'Avid NEXIS Cloud Storage in AWS' test underscores how essential it is to match infrastructure to evolving creative demands," said Richard Duke, Chief Cloud Solutions Architect at Avid. "Working with partners like MelroseINC allows us to substantiate these solutions in real time and continue pioneering what's possible for modern post-production teams." With this proof of concept, MelroseINC—through its PMC and TEC teams—reinforces its leadership in building advanced, scalable, and hybrid infrastructure to provide clients with a flexible roadmap to build their own production ecosystems—whether hybrid, fully remote, or cloud-native.

Leading Australian post-production firm collapses
The Australia-based firm behind the post-production of hits such as Aquaman, Pirates of the Caribbean and Thirteen Lives has fallen into liquidation. Cutting Edge Post, which has offices in Brisbane, Sydney and the Gold Coast, announced on July 3 that the company would no longer be operating. The production house offered sound and picture services for the advertising, films and TV nationally and across the world, including Hollywood. 'To all our valued clients and supporters, we would like to inform you that after 35 years Cutting Edge Post has officially ceased operations,' it said on social media. According to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), the decision to send the firm into liquidation was made at a general meeting on June 27. It has since been revealed the company owed $3.7 million, of which $2.4 million is owed to 62 staff across Australia. In documents submitted to ASIC, the debt to staff included $951,680 in redundancy entitlements, $581,649 in annual leave, $484,230 in long service leave and $77,884 in wages, The Herald Sun reported. The report listed other creditors, among whom are the Australian Tax Office which is owed $389,176 and Commonwealth Bank of Australia which is due $25,166. A total of $182,990 in the form of a term loan is listed for the Queensland Rural and Industry Development Authority, while it is indebted to trade creditors by $81,633. Company director Michael Burton said in the report that 20 trade debtors owed his company a total of $702,243 on top of $35,032 for related party loans. Regarding the firm's current financial state, he said it possessed just over $1 million across its assets. This was made up of $848,024 in fit-outs and $236,500 in bank accounts with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia. William Paul Cotter, from Robson Cotter Insolvency Group, has been appointed as liquidator and has been contacted for comment, as has Cutting Edge Post.
