Enterprise Video Team Producing Daily Content
Company Situation
The company operates within a large-scale enterprise video production environment supporting internal media teams that produce daily video content. Their team is distributed across multiple locations and time zones, collaborating closely to deliver fast-turnaround video projects. The content focuses primarily on partner portraits and biopic-style videos, which are used to build brand recognition and drive inbound interest through personal storytelling.
Existing Workflow
Currently, the company’s media team shoots video content during the day and relies on editors in a different time zone to perform post-production work overnight. They use a cloud-based platform (Frame) to share footage and edits. The workflow includes multiple upload and download cycles: shooting teams upload raw footage, editors download it to work offline, then re-upload edited versions and proxies, which the shooting team then downloads again for final export and distribution.
Issues with the Existing Workflow
This workflow results in significant bottlenecks due to lengthy upload and download times, typically ranging from three to five hours per day. These delays cause a growing backlog and disrupt the company’s ability to post content consistently and on schedule. The repetitive syncing of large files and proxies creates friction, wastes time, and limits the team’s capacity to maintain their target of producing one video per day.
How Shade Would Change Their Workflow
Shade offers a unique cloud-native approach that eliminates the need for repeated uploading and downloading by enabling seamless, instant mounting of shared drives. This allows editors and production teams to work in perfect sync on the same files in real time, regardless of geographic location. By integrating Shade, the company would bypass the lengthy transfer times, streamline collaboration, and accelerate turnaround from shoot to final cut.
