Media Group Scaling Video Production with Frame.io Integration

Company Situation

The company operates within a group structure comprising a parent company and multiple subsidiaries, each engaged in creative media production including photography and video. Recently, the group acquired a new video production company that is rapidly scaling up its team to meet increasing content demands. The combined teams include internal staff and numerous contractors spread across different departments and companies, all contributing to a diverse and growing video production ecosystem.

Existing Workflow

Currently, the company relies on multiple storage and asset management solutions, primarily using Frame.io for review and collaboration. However, their digital assets and notes are scattered across various platforms and physical hard drives. This fragmentation results in a lack of centralized control over project files, versioning, and archival content. Different departments and subsidiaries operate their own systems, leading to inefficiencies and difficulties in asset sharing.

Issues with the Existing Workflow

Disorganized storage across multiple platforms and physical drives Difficulty locating and consolidating project files and notes Inefficient collaboration due to dispersed assets and lack of unified review tools Challenges managing growing volumes of video content and storage costs Lack of a single solution that serves the needs of the parent company and all subsidiaries Onboarding and managing contractors complicated by inconsistent tools

How Shade Would Change Their Workflow

Shade offers a unified cloud-based platform that consolidates project storage, review, and archival needs into one centralized hub. By integrating asset storage with Frame.io-style review capabilities, Shade enables the company’s various companies and teams to collaborate seamlessly without juggling multiple systems. This streamlines project workflows, reduces reliance on physical hard drives, and supports scaling video production demands efficiently.
