YETI Case Study

Posted on by Ankita Gogoi

YETI uses Overcast Max to upgrade international video creation and distribution.

Introduction

YETI is an American manufacturer specialising in outdoor products such as ice chests, vacuum-insulated stainless-steel drinkware, soft coolers, and related accessories. The YETI brand has come to symbolise an active, premium, authentic lifestyle. The YETI content team works globally across all major markets. With demand increasing for content across YETI platforms such as Instagram and YouTube, as well as more traditional methods of broadcasting, YETI saw the need to upgrade their solution for managing their media appropriately.

Arlo Rosner

Executive Producer, YETI COOLERS

Bringing together our marketing and production teams through workflow has made new campaigns much more nimble: all video is now stored in one place and easily accessible by all content creators. Everything from original RAW files to finished films and videos. We could never do this previously with other DAM solutions. All of our global departments can now easily access our video content in a way that was impossible previously – this allows us to make better content, faster and with greater continuity across channels and regions.

The Challenge

The YETI team realised they needed to replace numerous hard drives and antiquated equipment with a secure, cloud-native, and searchable indexed collection of finished media assets. They needed to replace separate systems across different departments with an intuitive searchable solution, that provided a single point of truth and allowed access from anywhere in the world for remote working. Critically they wanted a solution that was intuitive for all users in the YETI marketing organisation.

The Solution

With Overcast, YETI undoubtedly saved time spent in handling media but also took their media asset management to next level.

  • Overcast MAX delivers remote collaboration, search, review and approval and archive management. The solution is delivered through a web portal and thus is accessible remotely and from any device. 
  • YETI found synergy within Overcast MAX’s overriding ethos of simplicity of use, much like their own products. With an intuitive user interface (UI), Overcast met YETI’s need to make this a creative and technical operating system, with no prior technical knowledge required by staff. 
  • YETI initially planned to restrict the use of the Overcast MAX video platform for live production management. But they soon realised that Overcast MAX could manage all their content. And now they are in the process of ingesting more than half a million video files and making the platform available for all staff.

Results

  • Over half a million video files ingested
  • Storage cost reduced by upto 80%
  • 10x faster processing from post to publishing

The YETI Content Hub continues to evolve with Overcast with a feature roadmap that includes new AI capabilities and automation.

Diageo Case Study

Posted on by Ankita Gogoi

In just 6 months Diageo have been able to reframe their global video experience and empower teams around the world to do in minutes what used to take days, weeks and even months.

Introduction

Diageo is a global leader in premium drinks with more than 200 brands. With a HQ in London, Diageo employs more than 30,000 people globally and is the home to much loved brands like Johnnie Walker, Guinness and newcomers like Tanqueray 0.0.
Diageo is obsessed with building brands and telling great stories. Creativity with precision describes how they effectively combine data, insights and innovation with creative flair to build stories around some of the world’s most iconic brands. In just 6 months, Diageo have been able to reframe their global video experience by empowering creative teams around the world to do in minutes what used to take day, weeks and even months.

The Challenge

Like many premium brands, Diageo shifted its marketing focus to omni-channel campaigns with an emphasis on video. Despite working with leading creatives, campaign processes were still old-fashioned, time consuming and costly. Workflows simply had not caught up with the times. To top it off, there was no centralised storage. Agencies controlled the content that Diageo owned the rights to, yet each agency had a different way of storing the content – some on hard drives, some on desktops and some clouds like Dropbox. Diageo knew they needed better control of their video assets if they
were going to scale their video operations. And they also wanted to use the latest data technologies like AI tagging and transcription to empower
their teams to find content no matter where they were in the world.

The Solution

The cloud-native Overcast Video Hub is now a core component of the Diageo Content Hub which also includes a cloud-native DAM. Diageo’s content teams and 60+ agencies ingest, store, collaborate on and archive all video marketing campaign material. All content is now controlled centrally.

  • An intuitive user interface meets Diageo’s need to make the system creative and operator-friendly – designed to be used by creatives, producers and staff with no prior technical knowledge.
  • All content is tagged using AI to make it possible to search within the videos and eliminating hours and days of scrolling through content.
  • Reuse targets have been set to extract additional value from rights owned content dramatically reducing costs and aligning with ESG strategies.

Results

  • 500k+ videos ingested and AI tagged
  • £1m saved in first 6 months
  • 60+ agencies & 1,500+ marketers onboarded.

Overcast Industry Insights: The Evolution of Media Creation

Posted on by Fiona Ashe

Ever-increasing demand for content. Ineffective legacy technology. Remote
collaboration challenges. Difficulty scaling up. These are just some of the
big issues facing the media industry today.

MovieLabs
— a technology joint venture of the major Hollywood studios, including
Walt Disney Studios,
Universal Pictures,
Warner Bros,
Paramount Pictures
and
Sony Pictures
— says that our industry is at a crossroads. There is a time-critical need
for executives to become more aware of supporting the future of media
creation and to invest in it. So, they have written an
Urgent Memo to the C-Suite: Investing In Production Technology and
Cloud Centricity Is No Longer An Option — It is Table Stakes.

MovieLabs has already developed a roadmap to creating the next-generation
ecosystem for media creation. Its 2030 Vision describes technological
advances that will enable seismic changes in media workflows and proposes
ten foundational principles as keys to that future. MovieLabs published case
studies of technology solutions that fulfil one or more of those principles
from
AWS,
Skywalker Sound, Walt Disney Studios, Sony, PFT, Overcast and
ProductionPro. Overcast provides Full Stack Video Management that radically improves
cloud production and post-production workflows through automation and
simplification.

This article delves into the trends and strategic imperatives outlined in
MovieLabs’ Urgent Memo to the C Suite and reveals how the Cloud MAM
solution that Overcast designed for Britain’s
Royal Opera House
fulfills those strategic imperatives.

Firstly, let’s take a look at the five key trends that MovieLabs identifies
as having a significant impact on media creation and that underpin the need
for commitment, support and investment in cloud-centric production
technologies and secure, interoperable workflows.

Trend 1: There is a growing urgency for scaled high-quality global
content production.

Traditionally, Hollywood content was distributed in overseas territories.
However, streamers have tapped into a growing appetite amongst viewers for
local language and local cultural content. Such content is created by local
production companies, but the streamers’ workflows and quality requirements
are foreign to many of these companies, which creates problems.

Trend 2: As release windows are evolving, distribution models are no
longer one size fits all.

The success of a movie used to hinge on its opening weekend box office.
However, the pandemic ushered in a new era of hybrid release strategies,
such as ‘day-and-date’ (where a film is simultaneously released in cinemas
and on streaming platforms), shorter exclusive theatrical runs, and
direct-to-consumer distribution. These have a major impact on production,
post production and delivery supply chains.

Trend 3: Productions are becoming more complex — what we did in the past
won’t work in the future.

With a wealth of cameras, creative tools and new production processes (such
as virtual production), film/TV/video production is becoming more complex.
We’re in a new era of “snowflake workflows”, whereby technological and
creative innovations make each workflow unique…like the individual shape of
a snowflake. While this is fantastic for content creators, the increasing
complexity of workflows coupled with the challenges of global distribution
and teams working remotely means that current practices just won’t and can’t
scale.

Trend 4: Connected, creative remote collaboration has become the new normal,
and it’s here to stay.

The pandemic was a baptism of fire for film, TV and video teams who were
accustomed to collaborating in purpose-built spaces but were suddenly thrust
into a situation where they had to work from home and collaborate virtually.
But, despite the initial shockwaves, it has turned out to be a positive
change. Creatives have more flexibility in where to work and this production
style will drive efficiency. Cloud-enabled collaboration tools will be the
key to scaling global productions.

Trend 5: Technology is evolving extremely fast, and the vendor landscape is
being disrupted.

An increasingly-connected production ecosystem is migrating to the cloud
while traditional methods of post production are consolidating and
contracting. Virtual production technologies and the democratization of
tools have created new “pop up” services, thus disrupting the vendor
landscape. Cheaper cloud-based business models are enabling new start ups to
avoid the enormous capital expenditure required in years gone by and
facilitates the ‘rental’ of tools, tech and talent as needed.

How is media creation evolving?

How is media creation evolving?

The future of content creation is full of exciting opportunities! But,
according to MovieLabs’ Urgent Memo to the C-Suite:

“We must design, create and implement a future-facing technical
pipeline to address the real challenges and opportunities to produce
content at quality, scale and across production locations and global
markets.”

So, back to the MovieLabs 2030 Vision. As we move towards realizing it,
there are three strategic imperatives that underpin the operational,
financial and strategic planning at all media organizations. Let’s unpack
them and examine how Overcast’s Cloud MAM solution for the Royal Opera House
(ROH) fulfill those imperatives.

1. Planning a multi-cloud strategy

Moving to the cloud is the foundation of achieving media creation at scale.
Benefits include almost unlimited storage and computer resources, a
pay-as-you-go business model, and a creative collaboration environment that
eliminates the unnecessary duplication of media assets. This “single source
of truth” principle is central to Overcast’s media management platform.

But MovieLabs deems that cloud is not enough anymore. It’s time to move to
‘multi-cloud’ (multiple vendors and a vast number of interconnected tools
and workflows). This is essential to complex content creation at scale and
the ability to pivot creative and distribution strategies and choices.

One of the foundational principles of MovieLabs’ 2030 Vision states that
assets go to the cloud and stay there, with applications coming to the
media. Today’s workflows span multiple facilities and move assets between
organizations and public/private clouds. To benefit from scalability, speed
and flexibility in a multi-cloud world, studios must collaborate with
industry stakeholders — including cloud providers — to create open
interfaces that connect silos.

Overcast enabled ROH to adopt a cloud-first strategy, which has delivered
more efficient ways of working: reviewing live rehearsals in real-time
remotely; automatically time-coding editorial reviews and approvals for ease
of decision-making; providing secure role-based permissions for freelancers
and ad-hoc users; and the integration or phased shuttering of legacy
on-premise technology solutions.

Through Overcast’s Cloud MAM solution, ROH created a single repository for
video content across all of its constituencies (the Royal Opera House, The
Royal Ballet and the ROH Orchestra). All of the ROH editors and producers
work from that single repository and can stream content to both internal and
external audiences by publishing links to it. A major advantage is that the
system is easy to use for non-technical collaborators (dancers, singers,
clients, sponsors).

2. Adopting a new approach to security

Erecting a fence and installing CCTV at your premises is a logical approach
to security…except if all of your content is hosted in the cloud by third
parties. So, how do we protect cloud-native workflows? We need a new
security mindset.

Overcast’s Cloud MAM enables ROH to give authorized users searchable access
to their library of assets and the ability to share retrieved content by
emailing links to other authorized users, such as dance notation experts who
work all over the world. The ability to share assets securely has enabled
new remote workflows that save on in-person or travel costs.

3. Enabling flexible workflows with increased automation and
interoperability

Time is of the essence when turning around creative projects. But precious
time can be wasted if your teams’ remote collaboration isn’t optimal.
Production workflows must become more flexible, extensible and easier to
assemble.

Automating simple tasks saves production oodles of time. Overcast has
integrated AWS AI tools such as Transcribe, Translate, and Recognition for
metadata tagging and subsequent search and retrieval. In its Cloud MAM for
ROH, these tools automate metadata tagging for bulk ingest, including
tagging of musical scores, leading players, and video attributes, freeing up
editors from these mundane tasks and allowing them instead to weave their
creative magic into the edit.

Future-proofing media management

Overcast believes that managing video files should be as easy as managing a
Word document. Its cloud native Full Stack Video Management is simple to
use, secure, and empowers teams to make, share and publish more content,
faster. Overcast echoes MovieLab’s call for commitment, support and
investment by C-Suite executives and also its vision of a studio and
industry ecosystem that will more readily enable future content forms and
business opportunities.

Serverless Architecture… what’s the point?

Posted on by Overcast HQ

What is Serverless Architecture?

Serverless architecture, cloud services, cloud-native, big data, are all
terms that have been thrown around over the last few years. With claims of
faster speeds, better security and overall improvement in your business
processes!

In simple terms, we will break down what being “serverless” means to us and,
more importantly, what it means for you when you’re using serverless
platforms.

Before “serverless”, there was just “server storage”, which meant that
businesses and enterprises kept their files, images, videos, systems on
physical servers. There were sorted in server rooms on-site at the business
premise or in designated buildings near your business locations.

With serverless architecture, your assets are stored in cloud servers
managed and owned by a cloud service provider such as AWS (Amazon Web
Services). This allows you and your team to access your files from anywhere
in the world, quickly and securely.

How does Overcast use Serverless Architecture?

The Overcast platform is built cloud-native and serverless. It consists of a
number of microservices – a major differentiator in the video asset
management market. Overcast is a proud member of the
AWS partner network.
Overcast also deploys a suite of AWS Elemental services,
including MediaConvert, MediaPackage and
MediaLive.

We use
AWS services
to:
– Transcode your content into any format you require.
–
Storing your content with fast upload and download tools.
– Build our
platform to be as

What are the benefits of being Serverless?

Business Benefits

Quick deployment

Doing business in today’s constantly changing environment means that
enterprises need to move fast and be agile to take advantage of
opportunities as they appear. Adopting a serverless architecture streamlines
the setup process and allows you to deploy new projects quickly.

Easy scalability

Serverless platforms enable businesses to quickly scale up services as
demand grows as they are not limited by server capacity. At Overcast, you
can store an unlimited amount of content but only pay for what you’re
currently planning on using. It also means that increasing your capacity by
1TB, 5TB, 100TB is as simple as one request to our technical team!

Better user experience

User experience (UX) greatly benefits from serverless architecture. By the
nature of serverless platforms, there is no distance between the different
“serverless” servers. This reduces the latency between them interacting with
each other. This translates to a much faster and reactive experience for the
final user.

Cost Benefits

Efficiency

It’s also possible to drastically reduce infrastructure and operational
costs because you don’t have to maintain and service physical servers. One
of the key benefits of serverless architecture is that you don’t have to pay
for idle resources, which you would if you owned the servers yourself.

Accurate resourcing

Serverless models like Overcast also allow you to monitor usage in
real-time. This will enable you to tailor your use with your business
requirements. This greater level of transparency will enable you to monitor
your spending and improve the accuracy of budgets and resource allocation.

Environmental Benefits

If you have environmental goals on the cards, you’re in luck! The data
centres are built at scale to be energy efficient to achieve optimal
utilisation and temperature. This leads to fewer carbon emissions than
traditional data centres.

Another drawback to traditional data centres is the constant waste of
resources while the servers are idle. Serverless computing becomes a
solution to this matter by running on-demand.

Bottom Line – how Serverless helps you?

  • Cost savings
  • Increased agility and instant scalability
  • Faster recall of assets
  • More reactive UI for all users

Overcast:

Overcast HQ provides a white-label, fully intuitive User Interface (UI) to
allow operational staff to exploit the power of the solution and the
underlying serverless cloud infrastructure.

We deliver media pipeline management solutions configured
to optimise existing video tech stacks, optimise complex video workflows,
and allow all stakeholders (not just editors and engineers) to manage video
content. 

Our platform allows customers to collaborate, search, review & approve,
transcode and therefore spend up to 90% less time managing content. We
are one of the very few solution providers built post-2015 to be able to
take advantage of the latest suite of cloud-native, serverless technologies.

We’d be delighted to talk you through all of this, so please feel free to

Zahra – a case study

Posted on by Overcast HQ

The following is a brief introduction to our Zahra Case Study which can be viewed in full below.

Zahra is a full-service content agency with owned media in the Food and Parenting verticals. Their mission is to connect brands with audiences through the creation and distribution of purposeful content.

“The review and approval process within Overcast has made it a lot clearer for everyone who is working on the project: clients, videographer, our team. It’s so helpful being able to compare older to newer versions side-by-side using timecodes.” 

— Alan Breslin, Production Coordinator, Zahra Media Group.

The Challenge 

“Content was stored in multiple locations which meant that things were difficult to find. This wasted SO MUCH TIME. It made collaboration (within the team and with clients) difficult because so much time would be spent trying to transfer enormous files. 

— Gina Miltiadou, Managing Director, Zahra Media Group

We needed a space that we could use internally and have versions 1, 2, 3 — and a place for continuing versions to be easily accessed by clients. If we are in a V3 stage and they decide if we want to use something from V1, we need to be able to access it.

— Alan Breslin, Production Coordinator, Zahra Media Group.

The Solution 

Overcast was able to help them with their folder management and metadata taxonomy. Then we trained up the various teams — client services, editorial, etc. — to show them how they too could manage the content in the cloud.

The Result 

After a few weeks of adapting to the new workflows, more people have been able to become part of the video creation supply chain. Editors now get to spend more time working on what they want to work on — great content. 

Perhaps the biggest surprise has been how it has helped client relations and experiences. By getting access to centralised content, an easy-to-use interface, semantic search and a well-defined audit trail, they are also able to engage in a clearer and more productive manner.

The following is a brief introduction to our Godolphin Case Study which can
be viewed in full below.

The following is a brief introduction to our Godolphin Case Study which
can be viewed in full below. </em >

Introducing a more streamlined, user-friendly system has enabled Godolphin’s
global teams to find and share content easily. Managing content is now
straightforward — anyone can find the pictures and videos they need for
marketing collateral, when they need it, and so much faster!

“The personal touch from Philippe, Zsolt and George in teaching us how to
use the system and fixing a couple of network errors has been incredible.
Their support in helping us meet Godolphin’s needs confirms that we made the
right choice in Overcast.” — Alexandra Bailey, Media
Manager, CPL

The Challenge:

Having four different storage systems led to several inefficiencies,
including remembering how to use each platform and where to find assets.

“We needed a really good filing system that met people’s expectations when
they were searching and didn’t lead them down a massive rabbit hole.”

The Solution: 

During the planning phase, Overcast worked with Godolphin and CPL to
standardise the descriptive metadata fields across the four platforms. They
then introduced a unique ID system and built an ingest solution using APIs
that could map all of the intelligence into a single, unified system.

The Result for Godolphin:

Time-saving: Content is ingested from around the world in
real-time.

Cost Saving: The consolidation from four separate platforms
to one has reduced subscription fees, training people to use them, and
overheads required.

Security: Content is centralised in a single location so it
can never go missing, and the content is accessed through a secure
login.

Revenue: With more people being able to access more images,
the plan over the coming years for Godolphin is to drive sales using more
sophisticated content marketing.

When It Comes To Tech, Overcast’s Review & Approve is rated #1 by Swedish National Broadcaster

Posted on by Philippe Brodeur

Overcast recently went head to head with some of the best tech companies in Europe on a tender for SVT – Sweden’s national broadcaster.

The big news is that Overcast’s tender was the only company to score 100% on the technical requirements of the tender, beating Sony and Frame.io (who came in joint second), and also ioGates, Dalet, Limecraft, Spotterfish, and Klash:

Some of the technical requirements included:

  • the use of speech to text;
  • the use different layers of metadata;
  • audit trails of user activity;
  • automatic ingest  into Avid Media Composer;
  • automatic ingest into Adobe Premiere;
  • data encryption.

🙂  We lost out on price on this occasion. The silver lining — our score shows that if you’re looking for the best tech, you have to pay a little more.

We’ve Gone To The Dark Side

Posted on by Fiona Ashe

Hurray! We have good news to share! We’ve been nominated for an award for best UX at the UX Awards. But enough of that. What have we got for you? Annotations! That’s what!

2 fab new features designed for you

We want to make content creation easier for you, your clients and your bosses. And by that, we mean that we want you to spend more time being creative and less time fiddling around with technical tasks.  

So, we are delighted to announce two improvements to the Overcast HQ platform.

Annotations

The ease of collaboration and feedback is one of the top benefits to users of our platform and now we’ve added a major new functionality: Annotations. 

When giving feedback to a colleague or client on a video, you can drop a pin anywhere on the screen (see image below) and type in your comment. For example, you can identify a part of the frame that is underexposed or suggest adding a logo in one corner. We didn’t invent this technology, but we’ve made it really simple to use.

Annotations done properly save you time and ultimately raise the bar on the quality of your videos.

Annotations on the Overcast video management platform

Dark UI

Our other big reveal is a UI makeover. Since edit suites almost always have a dark background, we wanted to give a choice to our users: a black or white UI. We also want to ensure the best experience for users, which can change depending on time of day or working environment. 

Dark text on a light background is more widely used for better readability and focus during the day. However, the more time spent looking at a screen, the more eye strain it can cause, so you now have the option to switch to light text and images on a dark background if you wish. You can also exercise this choice in relation to the darkness of your working environment or whether you are working after sunset.

Overcast’s new sleek dark user interface
