Religious Organizations Company Consolidating Frame.io and Network Attached Storage (NAS)
Company Situation
The company is a small media and production team within a religious organization. Their team consists of two primary media professionals responsible for producing and managing all video content in-house. The organization creates and reuses video assets for various events and services throughout the year.
Existing Workflow
Currently, the team shoots footage on SD cards, manually uploads raw and final video files to a file-sharing platform, and shares these assets between themselves. They primarily use Frame.io for file sharing and review. Their process involves downloading and uploading files manually, and they rely on file naming conventions to organize and locate content.
Issues with the Existing Workflow
Manual uploading and sharing of files create inefficiencies, especially as team members are often not in the office simultaneously.
Frame.io acts more like a file-sharing service than a true cloud storage solution, limiting seamless collaboration and storage capabilities.
Searching for specific content is challenging due to reliance on manual tagging and file naming, leading to difficulty locating assets, especially those used infrequently.
Lack of integration with their existing network-attached storage means they have to manage multiple storage platforms.
How Shade Would Change Their Workflow
Shade offers a unified cloud-based media management platform combining storage, sharing, and review workflows. The platform allows the team to store all media files in a shared cloud environment accessible by all team members anytime, eliminating manual file transfers. Shade’s AI-powered search automatically indexes and tags video content, making it easy to find specific clips without relying on file names or manual keywording. Users can mount Shade storage locally on their computers for seamless editing and access. Additionally, Shade supports collaborative review features similar to Frame.io but integrated directly with the storage system, streamlining the entire production workflow.
