Enhancing StudentEngagement with IntelligentVideo Asset Management1
Challenges priorto CuratorBefore adding Curator, ourvideo assets were scatteredacross hard drives andcloud storage. Making it difficultfor us to find what we needed andcollaborate between departments.With the help of Curator we can nowfind, repurpose, and share contentseamlessly across multiple teams.The University of North Carolina Charlotte needed amedia asset management system to rapidly find content,log metadata effectively, and enable high-resolutionedits, as well as being able to store their existing archivedassets. Prior to implementing Curator, Charlotte struggledto manage, edit, and retrieve their large media files.The university was using a basic folder structure asCraig Berlin, Sr. Director of Digital and Creative Services,their primary means of storage, which is a rigorous andUNC Charlotte.time-consuming process for maintaining organization.This forced UNC Charlotte to manually go through eachframe of video, and search for videos that weren’t beingcataloged into department-specified locations. Due to thesize of their University, Charlotte had too much contentto organize, distribute, and edit, but little in the way ofmedia asset management.2
How Curator Serves as aSolution for UNC CharlotteCharlotte selected Curator to manage both their newand archived content, and to implement consistent, AIpowered metadata tagging. Curator enables Charlotte'sathletic content team to tag player’s names within matchvideos, which allows them to easily develop and access acollection of edited highlights of a single player. Curatoralso enhances Charlotte's live asset logging capabilitiesthrough Curator logger, which ensures that their contentcreators and editors have fast, accurate, and consistentmetadata enrichment and assets can be easily found andaccessed later.Curators' tools have enhanced Charlotte's logginginterface where multiple assets can now be selected atone time and applied to metadata, instead of manuallyThe Teams ThatUse Video atUNC Charlotteattaching metadata to one video at a time. This is vital forensuring that videos which were taken during campusevents are accurately stored, and for ensuring that timespent on asset discovery is significantly decreased.Curator has also enabled Charlotte’s media teams to edithigh-resolution video assets with the seamless integrationbetween Curator and Adobe Premiere Pro.
