Residential Real Estate Video Team Streamlining Post-Production Workflow
Company Situation
The company operates within the residential real estate video production space, creating marketing videos primarily for homebuilders and communities. Their team produces approximately two to three videos weekly and collaborates with external video editors to handle post-production. Their workflow involves managing multiple projects simultaneously, requiring smooth coordination between shooting, editing, review, and versioning.
Existing Workflow
Currently, the company relies on a combination of Frame.io for versioning, notes, and review, alongside a custom-built project management system that integrates with Monday.com to track video progress. All video assets are stored on Google Drive, with consideration being given to adopting Google Cloud Storage buckets. The process involves sending footage to external editors, receiving edited versions, and cycling through feedback rounds primarily via Frame.io.
Issues with the Existing Workflow
While the current tools generally meet their needs, the company identified several areas of potential improvement:
Google Drive is slow when accessing and managing large video files, impacting workflow efficiency.
Frame.io does not natively integrate with Google Drive, requiring multiple platforms to handle storage and review.
Their existing custom system, while functional, may not fully optimize asset management or searchability across projects.
There is no pressing pain point forcing change, but the company expressed curiosity about faster, more integrated solutions to streamline their process.
