Media Post-Production Team Managing Remote Editors
Company Situation
The company operates within the media production and post-production industry, managing a team of fewer than 20 people including remote editors located overseas. Their workflow involves handling substantial video projects such as documentaries, requiring collaboration between editors working simultaneously in different regions.
Existing Workflow
Currently, the company relies heavily on Google Drive as their primary storage solution and Monday.com for project management. Their overseas editors must download large files directly from Google Drive, which introduces delays and inefficiencies. The company uses Google Drive as a home base but wants a more efficient system for bigger projects requiring remote collaboration and simultaneous editing.
Issues with the Existing Workflow
Significant time lost in downloading large media files across multiple locations, causing workflow delays.
Limited remote collaboration capabilities within existing tools, especially for simultaneous multi-editor projects.
Lack of streamlined asset organization and review processes, increasing friction in creative workflows.
Reliance on general-purpose tools (Google Drive, Monday.com) that don’t fully address the specialized needs of media asset management and remote editing.
How Shade Would Change Their Workflow

Editors can access and organize clips efficiently, speeding up the review and approval process and enabling multiple editors to work simultaneously on large projects. Shade’s platform integrates asset management with collaboration tools, reducing friction between project management and creative execution.
