EditShare 2026.2.0 is now available, introducing FLOW AI
We are pleased to announce that EditShare 2026.2.0 is now available, introducing FLOW AI, a transformational update to FLOW that brings AI-powered search, discovery, and workflow automation directly into the FLOW experience. This release also improves EditShare One usability, expands archive and restore workflows, and delivers important updates across EFS, Ark, EditShare Connect, and platform security.
Here's what's new in 2026.2.0:
• FLOW AI arrives in EditShare One: AI-powered search, media highlights, transcripts, scenes, people and logo detection, and timeline detection points.
• EditShare One gets faster for everyday media work: Improved metadata editing, asset URL sharing, media player zoom, drag-and-drop improvements, multiselect markers, and archive and restore for media spaces and folders.
• Platform, archive, and security updates: New Telestream DIVA Archive and Spectra Logic Rio MediaEngine integrations, plus EFS, Ark, EditShare Connect, and Linux security updates.
FLOW AI: Search and Discovery
The headline of 2026.2.0 is FLOW AI, a new set of AI-powered search and media discovery capabilities built into the FLOW experience.
• Multimodal hybrid search: AI-powered semantic/keyword search across transcripts, people, logos, text in picture (OCR), scene descriptions, and metadata.
• Detection points in search results: Search results display FLOW AI detection counts in both asset list and thumbnail views, showing how many matching moments appear across each asset.
• Timeline detection points: FLOW AI detections appear on the media player timeline, with bounding boxes for detected people and logos.
• Result highlighting: Matched search results are highlighted in the media highlights panel, asset list columns, and metadata tray.
The Result: Users can find relevant content and specific moments inside media faster, without relying only on manual tagging or basic keyword search.
FLOW AI Processing and Workflow Integration
FLOW AI is integrated into the wider FLOW workflow, making AI processing part of day-to-day media operations.
• FLOW Automation: Users can create automation templates that include FLOW AI processing tasks for manual or automatic workflows.
• Scan, Upload, and FLOW Control: FLOW AI indexing options are now available within Scan, Upload, and FLOW Control, so processing can be initiated at ingest or from the control interface.
• GPU-enabled processing: FLOW AI runs on a dedicated EditShare server equipped with GPU hardware, helping AI workloads run efficiently without competing with other system resources.
• On-premises and fully private: FLOW AI runs entirely on-premises within the customer’s own infrastructure. No media, metadata, or detection data is sent to the cloud, and content is not used to train or improve external AI models.
The Result: Customers can benefit from AI-powered search and discovery while keeping content private and under their control.
EditShare One: Workflow and Usability Improvements
This release also introduces a range of improvements across EditShare One.
• Archive and restore: Users can now archive and restore entire media spaces or folders directly from within EditShare One.
• Automatic tab and panel reopening: Relevant tabs and panels automatically reopen when users run searches or navigate to media spaces or projects.
• Metadata field improvements: Metadata text areas now display at full height and width within the metadata tray, making longer entries easier to read and edit.
• File browser refinements: Column resize handles are more visible, and asset type icons have been added alongside thumbnails in the file browser name column.
• Copy and share asset URLs: Users can now copy and share a direct URL link to any asset within EditShare One.
• Media player zoom control: The media player now includes a zoom control for more precise timeline navigation.
• Project, drag-and-drop, and marker improvements: Users can drag assets, subclips, markers, media highlights, and scenes directly into a project, bin, or sequence. Multiple markers can also be selected for bulk actions such as deletion or color changes.
The Result: Common search, review, logging, archive, and media management tasks are faster and easier to complete.
Archive and Platform Integrations
FLOW’s support for third-party archive systems continues to expand in 2026.2.0.
• Telestream DIVA Archive: FLOW now integrates directly with DIVA, allowing users to initiate archive and restore operations from within FLOW for assets managed by a DIVA system.
• Spectra Logic Rio MediaEngine: FLOW integration with Rio MediaEngine allows organizations using Spectra storage to archive and restore content directly within FLOW.
The Result: Customers can use FLOW alongside existing archive infrastructure while keeping archive and restore workflows accessible from the FLOW interface.
