Limecraft and dzjinius Team up to Improve Operational Efficiency of Drama Production : Limecraft

Ghent and Antwerp, Belgium, May 22nd, 2025 – Limecraft, leading provider of production and delivery workflows for the media and entertainment industry, and dzjinius, the all-in-one production management platform, have today announced a strategic partnership and deep product integration. The integration creates a unified end-to-end flow of metadata that enables unprecedented operational efficiencies. This allows media and entertainment producers to deliver more effectively, and to focus on quality.

dzjinius provides the operational backbone for scripted or unscripted entertainment formats, structuring data related to planning, scheduling, logistics, and cast and crew coordination. Limecraft complements this by managing the entire media workflow, including automated ingest, logging, editing, review, and delivery. By integrating the two platforms, media files ingested into Limecraft are automatically enriched with structured metadata from dzjinius — including scene descriptions, character information, props, and locations — making them immediately usable by editors without further manual input. Conversely, dzjinius embeds the Limecraft player as a plugin into dzjinius, allowing producers and planners to review dailies in real time from within the planning system.

Creating Operational Efficiency through Platform Integration

“In today’s fragmented production landscapes, teams often juggle multiple disconnected tools across departments – from planning and budgeting to editing and delivery,” says Nico Oorts, Head of Product of Limecraft. “This wastes time and increases the risk of errors and miscommunication. Limecraft and dzjinius came together and solved this challenge, connecting the dots from pre-production to post-production and back again.”

This partnership is more than just a mere technical integration; it creates a bridge between operational and creative teams. Writers and planners can push scene and take data directly to Limecraft, while editors receive fully structured media assets with data originating from the planning phase. Executive producers and production coordinators can now monitor progress through a smartphone app in real-time without switching between platforms.

Open APIs enable this integration and eliminate the need for legacy workflows using watchfolders, spreadsheets, or manually copying and pasting. Instead, production data seamlessly flows between platforms. It enables task-based automation, synchronised metadata handover, and playout of shots from within the planning interface.

The Business Case

“For producers, this means less time spent on logistics and more time focusing on creative oversight,” adds Christophe Haan, CEO of dzjinius. “The ability to review and approve content remotely further supports distributed teams and accelerates decision-making. With dzjinius and Limecraft working in tandem, teams no longer need to hop between tools or worry whether files and metadata are correctly aligned; the combination operates seamlessly.”

This partnership is a fundamental step forward for producers of both long-running daily series and high-end drama. By connecting creative planning and technical execution, we reduce friction in the workflow and give creative teams time back to focus on storytelling. As your productions grow in scale and complexity, the integration between the two companies creates a future-proof and sustainable foundation.
