Kollaborate

What is Kollaborate?

Kollaborate is a cloud workflow platform developed by Digital Rebellion, the same company behind tools like Post Haste and Pro Maintenance Tools. It’s designed for video post-production teams who need to review, approve, and manage media securely.

How does Kollaborate work?

You upload video assets to Kollaborate, then share them with collaborators for frame-accurate comments, annotations, and approvals. It integrates closely with Digital Rebellion desktop tools, Final Cut Pro, Avid, and Premiere workflows.
