Media Production Company Consolidating Adobe Premiere Pro and Streamyard
Company Situation
The company operates within the media production industry, specializing in producing podcasts and related video content. Their team includes a production lead based remotely, managing a staff of around 20+ editors and content creators. They produce approximately 220 minutes of long-form video content monthly alongside more than 2,000 short-form videos such as reels and audiograms. The company is in a growth phase, aiming to scale operations efficiently while maintaining high-quality output for multiple companies.
Existing Workflow
The company currently uses a cloud storage platform (Box) as the central repository for all media assets. Podcasts are recorded daily using a streaming tool (Streamyard), after which editors download raw footage from Streamyard, upload it to Box, and then download it again locally for editing in Adobe Premiere Pro. Once edited, videos are re-uploaded to Box for review by a QA team and companies. This process is repeated for revisions, requiring multiple downloads, uploads, and manual handling of files. A separate team then downloads finalized episodes to create short-form content, following a similar upload-download-review cycle.
Issues with the Existing Workflow
Time-consuming and repetitive downloading and uploading of large media files, causing delays.
Multiple manual steps increase friction and risk of version control issues.
The workflow is fragmented, involving several handoffs between teams and platforms.
Scalability is limited due to inefficiencies in handling growing volumes of video content.
Inefficient review and approval processes that slow down final delivery.
How Shade Would Change Their Workflow
Shade would serve as a centralized system of record and remote editing platform, eliminating the need for constant downloading and uploading of media files. By streaming and caching original resolution content directly within the cloud environment, editors can work seamlessly within Adobe Premiere Pro without local media transfers. Shade also integrates metadata tagging and asset organization, making media easily discoverable. The platform includes secure, branded review and approval workflows to streamline feedback and revision cycles. Optionally, Shade can integrate with existing tools like Streamyard and Box, enabling a fully integrated end-to-end post-production workflow within a single application.
