MerlinOne Announces version 5.1 of DAM

QUINCY, Mass. - Oct. 10, 2014 - PRLog -- MerlinOne is excited to announce the next version of MerlinX, the latest version of our fully featured web client for the MerlinOne Digital Asset Management product.

New tools that support exporting content to social media sites like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter start the list.  This allows users to easily send content to supported social media sites directly from the MerlinX interface. Users simply select an asset in Merlin, and send it on its way

Also part of the 5.1 release is integration with Adobe products. Using Adobe Drive, search for content in Merlin from within Adobe Bridge and open it directly in any Adobe application.

Rights management, so very important to many of DAM users has also been improved. Not only is there a dedicated rights management panel that displays important rights related fields, downloading of content may be restricted based on Metadata. The ability to upload has also been improved. The already easy-to-use web upload process now allows content to be directly uploaded into collections.

And there is more…new tools for managing and editing keywords allow for enforced keyword editing from the MerlinX browser client.
Fast searching has been made even more powerful… search within collections or search for file types in a more granular fashion.

We did not leave out video or audio either. Now, add markers or denote clips and add searchable tags to marked frames and clips. Then, users may export the marked frames and clips.

Merlin is a complete digital asset management system that allows users to organize millions of photos, multimedia files, graphics, stories, PDF files and Office documents using fast, precise searching with easy and flexible drag-and-drop workflows. The user interface is intuitive enough for novice users, yet has great depth for power users. Merlin is available as either licensed software or as a hosted (SaaS) solution.
