Video Post-Production Agency Streamlining Collaboration with Dropbox and Frame.io
Company Situation
The company operates as a video post-production agency specializing in a wide range of content from short-form to long-form videos, including commercials and other creative projects. Their team is distributed across multiple regions, including the United States as well as South America, Europe, and Africa, with a mix of full-time, part-time, and freelance editors. Currently, they have about six video editors and anticipate growing to 15–20 editors within the year, alongside a larger network of 20–30 collaborators including companies, creative directors, and agency partners.
Existing Workflow
The agency manages raw video assets primarily through Dropbox, while using Frame.io extensively for the revision and review process. Project management and workflow tracking is handled through Asana, and documentation is maintained in Notion. Their current setup relies on a combination of these tools to coordinate asset management, editing workflows, and company collaboration.
Issues with the Existing Workflow
As the team grows and becomes more geographically dispersed, their current combination of Dropbox and Frame.io has become cumbersome and inefficient for scaling their operations. Managing selects and asset organization is increasingly complex, and there is a need to better utilize content through advanced tagging and streamlined workflows. Guest access for companies and partners is also a critical requirement that is not optimally managed in their current system.
