# Welcome to the official Helmut4 documentation

Helmut4 is a web-based workflow management software designed for professional video productions and post-productions.

\
It manages projects and their linked assets in Adobe [Premiere Pro](https://docs.helmut.de/helmut4-releases/getting-started/supported-adobe-versions), [After Effects](https://docs.helmut.de/helmut4-releases/getting-started/supported-adobe-versions), and [Audition](https://docs.helmut.de/helmut4-releases/getting-started/supported-adobe-versions), automating project-based workflows and handling project assets that typically require attention from assistant editors and technical personnel. Additionally, Helmut4 can manage audio authoring in Avid Pro Tools, providing an integrated solution for both video and audio production workflows.

Helmut4 can handle your [project templates](https://docs.helmut.de/helmut4-releases/helmut4-components/helmutfx), user settings, rendering distribution, [import and export](https://docs.helmut.de/helmut4-releases/helmut4-components/helmutio) workflows, and much more.

To meet your specific needs, Helmut4 is running [on-premise](https://docs.helmut.de/helmut4-releases/getting-started/installation-guide) and is highly customizable. It seamlessly integrates with various storages and third-party software through REST APIs, and it allows you to create your own '[streams](https://docs.helmut.de/helmut4-releases/helmut4-components/streams)'—workflows that can be visually programmed using Helmut4's [stream designer](https://docs.helmut.de/helmut4-releases/helmut4-components/streamdesigner).

Whether you require a standard setup, a customized configuration, or you're eager to start designing tailored workflows for your environment, this is the perfect place to begin.
