3.0.5 brings review workflows, archive integration, and camera ingestion directly into creative.space. This release consolidates more of your workflow into one place—less context switching, fewer tools, same storage.

Frame-accurate, time-coded commenting for any format you can preview. No exports, no uploads, no separate review tools.
How it works: Click the Inspector button on any video or audio file, then click Review. The sidebar shows threaded comments that scroll automatically as you play through the file, highlighting the active thread based on your current playback position.
Collaboration: Anyone with access to the file can create threads, add comments, and update review status (Review, Approve, Reject, Delete). Each thread anchors to a specific timecode—click the time bubble to jump directly to that moment.
Search: Search within threads and comments. Matching results flash to show you exactly where the content appears.
Export: Send your review threads to Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve as timeline markers. Frame rates are calculated automatically based on the source file.
Where it appears: Video Review is available both from the Inspector on individual files and from the Libraries page when viewing tagged assets.
Permissions: Standard ACL rules apply—if you can view the file, you can participate in the review.
Libraries are now centralized across your entire system, not just individual spaces. Tag sections and categories can be Global (available everywhere) or limited to specific spaces.
What changed: Previously, each space had its own isolated tag system. Now you can create tag structures that span multiple spaces, making it possible to build a single library view across all your projects.
The view: By default, Libraries shows assets from all spaces you have access to. Use the dropdown selector to filter to specific spaces. Users still only see assets for spaces where they have permissions—global tagging doesn't bypass access controls.
Text filtering: Beyond tag-based filtering, you can now use pattern matching in the text field. This is useful for batch operations—find all files matching a naming pattern, then tag them in one operation.
Multi-tier workflows: Tag data can be exported as sidecar files at the folder level. When you archive projects, metadata travels with the files. Later, import those sidecars to restore your tagging structure. This feature requires admin configuration and is disabled by default.
Permissions: Only Admins and Team Leaders can create, modify, or delete tag sections and categories.
Browse LTO tape archives and cloud storage tiers directly from creative.space. Preview assets, check metadata, and trigger restore jobs without leaving the interface.
Setup: This feature requires special configuration connecting to your Archiware P5 installation. Contact [email protected] for setup.
How it works: A new Archive tab appears on the Spaces page. Select an archive index to browse its contents. Proxy previews and metadata come directly from Archiware, letting you inspect assets before committing to a restore.
Restore workflow: Find the folder or file you need, then trigger a restore job. If required tapes are offline, the system shows you exactly which tape barcodes are needed. You can copy this information as a formatted message to send to your admin. Submit the job anyway—it waits in the queue until tapes come online, then runs automatically.
Refresh: Poll for updated archive indexes or check restore job progress using the refresh option.
Permissions: Restore functionality respects standard space permissions. The Archive tab only appears if you have the appropriate role and the feature is enabled on your system.
Direct S3 ingestion from RED and other S3-capable cameras. Clips appear in creative.space as soon as you stop recording.
How it works: Any space can be configured as an S3 bucket. Point your camera at the creative.space S3 endpoint using the credentials and configuration files available on the System page. The prefix you set in-camera becomes the folder structure in your space.
Configuration: On the System page, a new S3 Services card shows:
Permissions: Only system admins can configure S3 gateway settings and manage which spaces are accessible.
Supported cameras: RED cameras with built-in S3 support. Other S3-capable devices may work—contact support for compatibility questions.
New thumbnail support: Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator files. Microsoft Visio, PowerPoint, Word, and Excel. eBook formats (ePub).
Performance: Thumbnails are now cached for faster loading on subsequent views.
Metadata export: You can now export the metadata displayed in the Inspector to a sidecar file. This works alongside the tag sidecar export for complete metadata portability.
Blackmagic HyperDeck support: Expanded model compatibility for direct deck control.
Search enhancements: Improved filtering options and performance throughout the application.
UI refinements: Updated styling for modals, dropdowns, and notifications across both web and desktop applications.
Notification handling: System now prevents duplicate notifications and delivers more contextual information.
