Top Takeaways from My Edit Cloud Interview: #1 Technology Agnostic Edit Cloud is a cloud-based production platform that enables creative teams to collaborate remotely, access accredited talent, and integrate with various editing software programs. I recently interviewed Simon Green, founder and CEO. Over the next few days, I'll post the four things I found most interesting about the service. First, it’s technology-agnostic. This means it can work with a wide range of editing tools, from Adobe Premiere Pro to Avid Media Composer. For creatives who don’t want to switch to new software, this is a huge advantage. They can keep using the tools they know and love, while still benefiting from the flexibility and scalability of the cloud.: https://lttr.ai/AYSHP

Five Codec-Related Techniques to Cut Bandwidth Costs - Try Per-Title Encoding This article explores five strategies for reducing bandwidth costs in video streaming, perfect for engineers and strategists looking to enhance streaming efficiency. Suggestion: Per-Title Encoding Implement per-title encoding to optimize bitrate ladders uniquely for each video, potentially saving substantial bandwidth. While most larger companies develop their own technology, smaller companies can achieve the same benefit by buying an encoder or using a cloud service with per-title

Top Takeaways from My Edit Cloud Interview: #2 Founded by a Video Producer Edit Cloud is a cloud-based video production platform that enables creative teams to collaborate remotely, access accredited talent, and integrate with various editing software programs. I recently interviewed Simon Green, founder and CEO. Over the next few days, I'll post the four things I found most interesting about the service. What stood out to me is that Edit Cloud is run by a video producer, not just a technologist. Simon Green’s background as a producer and editor gives him a unique perspective on the real needs of production teams. This helps align Edit Cloud with the creative process, instead of being just another tech solution. Read more 👉 https://lttr.ai/AYQ0o

I’m thrilled to introduce my newest course on LCEVC video enhancement! It’s designed to introduce newbies to LCEVC, explain why it’s important, identify the tools available for enhancing and decoding, and teach you how to get the most out of encoding videos with LCEVC enhancement. Why LCEVC? 🤔 LCEVC, an MPEG standard, has been selected as the enhancement codec for Brazil’s TV 3.0 system, showcasing its importance. Highly efficient during encoding and decoding, LCEVC can often be deployed in software while hardware support rolls out, making it cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and deployable today. It’s also backward compatible with devices that support the base layer codec and has the most rational royalty policy. LCEVC is poised to succeed in a big way, and now is the time to learn about it.
