The first component is HelmutFX: Project management and user management seem trivial, but even today teams of all sizes rely on File Explorer to manually create and search for projects. There has to be a better way! With HelmutFX, all of this is a thing of the past. You can group users into teams, add new projects or search and open existing projects, manage project templates, and create a custom project and asset folder structure. Everything is centrally managed through a simple and straightforward web interface. FX also provides solutions to problems such as working with different Adobe software versions, using multiple operating systems on their workstations, and more.

The next component is HelmutIO: It can be quite a challenge to load your rushes into your production environment and deliver your master files correctly and in time . Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to take all the guesswork out and avoid costly errors? HelmutIO manages import and export logistics to and from Adobe Premiere and Adobe After Effects using local or distributed Adobe Media Encoders. Our powerful stream designer provides the perfect interface to design your import and export workflows. A complete set of actions is available to ensure that your files always end up in the right place with the right name, codec settings, and metadata fields.

The next component is HelmutCosmo: Teams need to share assets between projects all the time. Finding the right file is therefore of like searching for a needle in a haystack. HelmutCO can be your hero. Cosmo is the central database for Premiere Pro and After Effects that holds projects and project-related assets and metadata. Cosmo allows you to synchronize any external resources such as MAM or Archive systems with your Adobe projects and their content. Cosmo also provides an easy-to-use web UI for exporting and uploading media directly to your Adobe projects, even when actively working on the project.

The fourth and final component of the Helmut4 suite is Housekeeper: whenever you want to park your project for some time, archive, restore or delete your final project file, HelmutHK has the solution for you. HelmutHK uses a unique approach by leveraging the power of the HelmutCO database to automate and simplify tasks such as project-based archiving, recovery, consolidation and deletion of projects. In doing so, it is possible to precisely define which project components are worth managing. Whether you want to process the entire project, the clips intercut in the sequence, or just the unused assets. Everything can be precisely defined and fully automated.

Combining the four components, Helmut4 offers a holistic approach to true end-to-end project-based workflows, providing organizational control and time-saving enhancements to traditionally unmanaged Adobe workflows.
