00:00:23 - Limecraft introduction and industry challenges we are helping to address around workflow design and automation, including how Media Asset Management is evolving to managing supply chains content supply chain.
00:07:13 - Robert Sonneville discusses automation of ingest for continuing dramas or telenovelas. Traditionally, there is a gap between shooting and post-production due to manual paperwork, but automation was introduced to streamline this. Limecraft integrates with tools like LockitScript to gather and sync file and set metadata, creating edit-ready sequences and proxies. The workflow involves ingesting and syncing video and audio, organising metadata, and generating AAF files for the editor. This automation significantly speeds up processes like creating dailies and sequences for post-production.

00:13:35 - Maarten Verwaest discusses the concept of Custom Status fields. Custom statuses allow users to efficiently track the progress and categorization of large media collections, such as subtitling and quality control processes. Instead of relying on AI, Limecraft recycles existing metadata to create customizable status fields. Users can define these statuses based on workflow changes, like "transcribed," "in progress," or "graphic content." The statuses can be configured in the workspace settings and displayed in the library view or as icons in thumbnails. This feature enhances search and organization, making it easier to manage vast media collections.

00:21:53 - Limecraft's improved sharing function now includes the ability to display subtitles directly in the player, eliminating the need to render screener files using tools like Adobe Premiere Pro or Vimeo. Users can create a shared link for selected clips, and the recipient can easily view the video with subtitles by toggling them on in the player. This streamlined process saves significant time, allowing quicker approvals or rejections. Additionally, system administrators can monitor workflows, track errors, and filter by date range, which is especially useful for managing large media collections.
00:25:28 - Media Intelligence. Standard AI services often lack the accuracy needed for professional media tasks, such as subtitles or transcriptions, without human input. Limecraft enhances AI performance by integrating relevant production documents (e.g., call sheets, shot lists) and user-specific knowledge into the AI pipeline. This boosts AI accuracy, especially for tasks like recognizing names or specific entities. They have successfully experimented with large language models like ChatGPT for automating chaptering, summarizing, and key event detection in media content. This has been deployed in news agencies and entertainment production, greatly reducing manual work. Additionally, a new smartphone app will soon enhance media sharing and review on mobile devices.
