Global Creative Team Streamlining Video Production with Frame.io
Company Situation
The company operates within the event production and creative marketing space, managing a global creative team responsible for capturing, editing, and distributing a wide range of video content. Their work includes both long-form and short-form video projects used for marketing, social media, and storytelling around transformational member experiences. The team consists of a chief marketing officer overseeing the strategy and creative leads handling shooting and editing, primarily using Adobe Premiere.
Existing Workflow
Currently, the team relies heavily on a combination of Dropbox and Frame.io as their core video collaboration and storage platforms. After capturing and editing footage in Adobe Premiere, they upload final edits to Dropbox, then share links for review and distribution. Frame.io is used for review and approval processes, particularly for its time-coded feedback capabilities. Their video assets span terabytes of data accumulated over many years.
Issues with the Existing Workflow
The company identified several pain points with their current setup:
Workflow fragmentation due to reliance on multiple platforms (Dropbox for storage, Frame.io for review).
Challenges managing and curating large volumes of video content efficiently.
Slow turnaround times from upload to editing and final release, limiting content cadence.
Complex and cumbersome migration and transfer processes when dealing with terabytes of data, making it difficult to modernize their tech stack.
Limited ability to consolidate tools and workflows under a single platform to reduce overhead and improve speed.
How Shade Would Change Their Workflow
