The Challenge
Transform journalists to be video editors
ANP wanted to eliminate the need to use different applications and tools for media asset management, video editing and distribution. ANP’s goal was to find one application for the entire workflow of video production and distribution on daily basis.
ANP needed a media management application that was easy to learn and user-friendly for journalist as well as trained video editors. ANP challenged VidiGo to create a new media workflow for the video department allowing them to grow, professionalize and become an integral part of daily ANP operation.
The application had to run on:
- Standard office hardware
- Use the existing network infrastructure.
