Real Estate Media Production Company Consolidating Adobe Premiere and Frame.io (existing)
Company Situation
The company operates in the real estate media production industry, managing a distributed team of editors working across multiple offices in different states. Their media library consists of approximately 12 terabytes of high-resolution video footage, with a team of about three editors primarily using Adobe Premiere for editing. The team requires a flexible, remote workflow to efficiently access, organize, and edit large video files without being physically located near the source data.
Existing Workflow
Currently, the company struggles to organize and access their vast media library due to its scale and geographic dispersion. Editors often need to be local to large data storage devices to work efficiently, leading to bottlenecks and inefficient workflows. They also utilize tools like Frame.io for review and approval but are interested in consolidating their toolset.
Issues with the Existing Workflow
Inability to easily organize and access 12 terabytes of footage stored across multiple locations.
Heavy reliance on local storage, which limits remote editing capabilities and causes logistical challenges.
Current review and approval processes depend on third-party tools, adding complexity and cost.
Concerns about upload and download speeds delaying urgent projects, such as quick-turnaround real estate videos.
High costs associated with alternative real-time file access solutions, which could become prohibitively expensive at their scale.
How Shade Would Change Their Workflow
Shade provides a cloud-based, real-time streamable file system that allows editors to access and edit media from anywhere without needing the full files locally. By automatically streaming only the required media segments, Shade eliminates the need to download entire files or remain tethered to physical drives. The platform supports proxy workflows compatible with Adobe Premiere, enabling smooth remote editing even with large 4K footage. Additionally, Shade integrates review and approval capabilities, potentially replacing existing third-party tools like Frame.io and consolidating workflows. Its pricing model offers a cost-effective solution that includes storage, streaming, and collaboration features.
