Post is proud to announce our 2018 Post Picks, as well as our list of Honorable Mentions. ELEMENTS CLICK The new Elements (www.elements.tv) Click cloud feature radically simplifies collaboration in production workflows — providing an intuitive, custom-made en- vironment to share and review video files of any format and size from anywhere, anytime — with the highest security. Embedded in Elements Media Library, Click allows all workstations connected to the central storage to share assets through a private cloud, directly from within Elements' GUI. With a simple mouse click, every operator from any workstation, even those without direct Internet access, can initiate the upload and create a link to the specific video in the cloud, or leverage the "auto-up- load" functionality that allows operators to automatically load assets to a new cloud-hosted Web platform for easy external access. Instead of inviting customers or team members to a generic, impersonal cloud portal, Elements Click allows for creating an individually branded cloud portal, giving users their own cloud-based collaboration portal. Identical to the use of the Media Library as a communication portal, viewers accessing the assets through the cloud can leave comments and even drawings on the image. All annotations are integrated and synced to Elements Media Library. BORIS FX PARTICLE ILLUSION Boris FX (www.borisfx.com) is relaunch- ing Particle Illusion, the popular motion graphics and particle animation system the company acquired from GenArts. Redesigned from the ground up, Particle Illusion will feature an updated user interface, additional new emitter libraries and, as the company describes, "blazing fast" GPU speeds. Original founder, Alan Lorence, has joined the Boris FX team POST PICKS 2018 BY LINDA ROMANELLO & MARC LOFTUS INDUSTRY PROS CHOOSE INNOVATIVE & ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES FROM THIS YEAR'S NAB
