# 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 in Adobe [Premiere Pro](/helmut4-releases/v4.8.1/getting-started/supported-adobe-versions.md), [After Effects](/helmut4-releases/v4.8.1/getting-started/supported-adobe-versions.md), and [Audition](/helmut4-releases/v4.8.1/getting-started/supported-adobe-versions.md), automating project-based workflows and handling project assets that typically require attention from assistant editors and technical personnel.

Helmut4 can handle your [project templates](/helmut4-releases/v4.8.1/helmut4-components/helmutfx.md), user settings, rendering distribution, [import and export](/helmut4-releases/v4.8.1/helmut4-components/helmutio.md) workflows, and much more.

To meet your specific needs, Helmut4 is running [on-premise](/helmut4-releases/v4.8.1/getting-started/installation-guide.md) 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](/helmut4-releases/v4.8.1/helmut4-components/streams.md)'—workflows that can be visually programmed using Helmut4's [stream designer](/helmut4-releases/v4.8.1/helmut4-components/streamdesigner.md).

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.
