Abstract: It is no secret that videos are everywhere. In this climate, video production teams are constantly presented with new challenges to complete their projects on time and on budget. Higher-resolution formats such as 4K video demand even more resources to produce and manage. This paper will discuss the important challenges that occur when organisations transition to Big Video workflows and how they can be mitigated with technological, business and operational insights gleaned from some of the leading video production teams around the world. Issues and solutions covered include: frontend de-duplication technologies that help video editors deal with large video files; judicious use of fibre channel to surmount inevitable Ethernet slow-down while editing videos; flexible transcoding frameworks to rescue users from video container formats and codecs tsunamis; high-resolution proxy workflows to speed up production; and unified information repository models that break down content silos. Finally, this paper will present two use cases from organisations that have successfully transitioned to the Big Video workflow.
