✦Video editing

Remote video editing — the render rig stays plugged in. Edit 4K from the couch.

Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut — at full GPU, on the iPad on your lap. Hardware H.265 and 48 kHz audio in lockstep. The same timeline you left on the workstation.

✦Color

Chroma subsampling is invisible — until you grade.

Most video on the internet is encoded 4:2:0 — one color sample per 2×2 block of pixels. Fine for entertainment, wrong the moment you reach for the color wheel. Edges between red and green smear and fine colored detail turns soft. From a Mac with Apple silicon or a Windows PC, HDR reaches a device with an HDR screen — and true 4:4:4 color for razor-sharp grading references is live today from a Mac or an NVIDIA or recent Intel PC to Mac, Windows, iPhone and iPad.

A color-grading timeline streamed live to a Mac through Remio

Your RTX 4090 or M2 Ultra does the work.

Remote editing separates compute from interaction. The render rig stays in the studio on gigabit fiber; the client travels with you. Remio is the link between the two.

Render farm in your office

Heavy footage — ProRes RAW, RED R3D, Blackmagic RAW, ARRI — is decoded on the host with its GPU and media engines, so your editing app runs at full speed and Remio's hardware encoder sends the finished picture. The CPU stays free for noise reduction and neural effects.

Every effect, every plugin

Boris FX Sapphire, Red Giant, Neat Video, Magic Bullet, Frame.io — all installed on the host, all at host GPU speed. Your dongle stays plugged into the workstation; license keys never move.

Local-feeling scrub

Scrubbing is the most latency-sensitive edit action. On the same network, the processing pipeline — capture, hardware encode, the LAN hop, hardware decode — costs about 8 ms (measured internally); the rest is your display's own 60 Hz refresh cadence. On a LAN the playhead keeps up with your finger or Pencil.

Review without an export

Open the project on the workstation from whatever device you have and play the cut right where it lives — no export, no upload, no review link to wait on.

An iPad running Remio as a grading surface
✦Apple Pencil

A precision surface for grading wheels.

An iPad with Apple Pencil is a natural surface for grading. Point, tap, drag, and scroll with the Pencil — Remio passes it to the host as a precision cursor, mapped 1:1 with no smoothing or acceleration. Pull a curve point in Resolve's RGB curves and it follows the tip exactly. Drag out a power-window mask and the shape lands where you draw. It works as a precise pointer; pressure and tilt aren't sent.

Scopes on the iPad as a second display, timeline on the workstation — at home or away, straight between your devices (away from home needs the latest Remio Host).

✦Audio

48 kHz, low buffer, no drift.

Out-of-sync audio is a common complaint about remote editing tools. With Remio, audio stays in sync with the picture.

48 kHz, start to finish

Video work is mixed at 48 kHz, and that is the rate Remio carries audio at — so music mixed for picture and dialogue ADR aren't pushed down to a lower rate along the way.

Aligned to the frame

Audio stays in sync with the picture — lip-sync stays within one frame, even over a long session.

Every transport control stays live

Play, pause, scrub, or hit a marker from the client — the host's audio follows on the same beat as the picture.

One encrypted session, not a call

Audio and video ride inside the same end-to-end encrypted session — no separate conferencing app, no extra hop for the sound to take.

✦Real workflows

The same edit, three places, one weekend.

Three example setups showing how editors can split the work between a workstation and the device they carry. Hardware specs are typical of each kind of rig.

Resolve grading on a 14" MacBook Pro

A colorist runs DaVinci Resolve Studio on an M2 Ultra Mac Studio at the facility, next to her reference monitor and control panel. Away from the studio she opens the same project from a 14" MacBook Pro for notes and tweaks — the grade lives in the project on the Mac Studio, so there is nothing to export or sync.

Premiere multi-cam on iPad Pro 13"

A documentary editor runs Premiere Pro on a 13900K + RTX 4090 tower with native R3D 8K footage. On the iPad Pro he splits program left, source right — Pencil scrubs the source, finger taps the cut points. Export keeps running on the tower while the iPad sleeps over lunch.

Final Cut Pro color on an M2 Mac mini

A wedding videographer runs Final Cut Pro on an M2 Mac mini in the home-office closet. From the kitchen table in the same house he edits on a MacBook Air with an iPad propped alongside as a second display for the video scopes panel — over the home network.

✦Questions

Questions editors ask first

Direct answers, no marketing detour.

How accurate is color over a streamed connection?
Remio streams hardware H.265. Most remote tools use 4:2:0 chroma, which is fine for entertainment video but soft on fine colored detail when you grade. True 4:4:4 color — full color resolution with no chroma subsampling — is live from a Mac or an NVIDIA or recent Intel PC to Mac, Windows, iPhone and iPad: turn on “4:4:4 color” in Remio's settings. From a Mac with Apple silicon or a Windows PC, HDR also reaches a device with an HDR screen. For color grading on a calibrated display, turn on Original colors in Remio's settings and a Mac you connect to with the Mac or Windows app sends its own pixels without any color conversion (needs the latest Remio Host). For broadcast-spec work, calibrate the client display with a colorimeter the same way you would the host monitor.
Will dialogue and music stay in sync?
Yes. Audio stays in sync with the picture — lip-sync stays within one frame, even over a long session. Audio is carried at 48 kHz.
Can I still use a proxy workflow?
Yes, and you may not need to. Most Premiere/Resolve proxy workflows exist because the editing laptop cannot decode native 4K H.265 or ProRes in real time. With Remio, decoding happens on the host workstation — so the proxy workflow becomes optional. Once you have checked that the timeline plays back smoothly, you can work at native resolution full-time.
How fast does rendering go remotely?
Render speed is identical to working at the desk, because rendering happens on the host's CPU and GPU — Remio is only streaming pixels to your eyes. An M2 Ultra Mac Studio or RTX 4090 PC renders at full speed whether you are in front of it or on the other side of the country. The client device's hardware is irrelevant to render time.
Can I scrub 8K timelines smoothly?
Yes, as long as the host can. Remio streams what the host shows, so if your workstation scrubs an 8K timeline in real time at the desk, Remio carries that to your device. The stream is sized to the screen you are using — up to 6K at 120 FPS — so an 8K timeline is scaled down to fit while the project itself stays 8K.
Are my plugins (Boris FX, Red Giant, Frame.io) compatible?
Yes. Plugins you install on the host workstation keep working the way they do at the desk. Remio does not touch the host's software stack — it streams the screen out and routes your input in. License keys, dongles, network-licensed seats (NLS), and SaaS plugins like Frame.io behave normally. The host machine remains the licensed seat; the client is just a screen.
