Editing is no longer only a creative act. It is becoming infrastructure.
In this episode, Andy Beach is joined by Sumit Rai and Kel Lowinsky from Elevate.io to explore how post-production is shifting from standalone tools to cloud-based systems. What was once a single-user workflow is evolving into a shared, collaborative environment where media, compute, and teams operate in the same layer.
The conversation breaks down the transition from hardware-bound editing to browser-based platforms, the rise of real-time collaboration, and the role of AI as an assistive layer that removes friction without replacing creative control. From live collaboration inside the timeline to integrated review, asset management, and semantic search, editing is becoming a continuous system rather than a linear process.
As workflows centralize and scale, the real change is not how content is cut, but how it is accessed, shared, and shaped across teams.
