Limecraft Highlights Media Intelligence and Real-Time Collaboration for NAB Show 2024

March 20, 2024 9:16 am Published by Too often, industry observers talk about AI in a negative manner and the discussion often revolves around AI replacing humans, potentially leading to de-skilling. Rather than commenting on Artificial Intelligence, we should be talking about Media Intelligence – using the technology in an appropriate way so it takes on repetitive and labour-intensive tasks and frees us to concentrate on creative story telling.

10 Tips for a more efficient Video Ingest

August 30, 2022 1:47 pm Published by Leave your thoughts A good ingest process is the key to efficient post-production. A good ingest process automates repeated manual tasks like audio sync, LUTs, changing file names, and encoding proxies. A good ingest process includes QC and reduces errors to a minimum. A properly set up ingest process reduces the processing time of a shooting day by 50% and, because its automated, the remainder of the time is largely available for creative work.

The Case for Script Based Collaboration

October 1, 2014 3:08 pm Published by Leave your thoughts In a modern production workflow, online tools enable different people to participate from different locations. Media files and production information, often separately stored and managed at different locations, need to be exchanged. Due to a lack of standards, producers rely on Facebook or exchanging documents via email. As a result, individual media fragments are hard to retrieve, reuse of content is expensive, and the overall production cost explodes as the number of distribution possibilities increases.
