Continuing to deliver on an acute market need for comprehensive and easy-to-use time-based metadata solutions, Digitalsmiths, the video metadata experts in management, packaging and distribution, announced today the latest version of its flagship product, VideoSense 3.0.

As the leading studio-grade metadata management system, VideoSense® 3.0 is generally available today and incorporates significant new features that make it easier and faster to edit video metadata, and to manage digital media projects and portfolios.

Saving premium content providers time and money with digital media operations, the product’s new user interface (UI), improved navigation and menu options, newly integrated online help resource, pop-out video player, and additional management capabilities are among the advancements made in this version of VideoSense®.

“Google’s new more timely and media-rich web indexing system, called Caffeine, increases the importance deep metadata plays in the monetization of content,” said Colin Dixon, senior partner at TDG. “Using a time-based metadata technology, such as Digitalsmiths’ solution, is the only way to ensure that new content is found by Caffeine fast. And speed is critical to maximize content revenue streams.”

“As an independent, video metadata solution provider that has worked with movie studios and networks, we have deep technological expertise and a perceptive engineering team that acutely understands all of the nuances and annoyances associated with managing premium video metadata,” said Ben Weinberger, CEO and co-founder, Digitalsmiths. “The latest version of our flagship product, VideoSense 3.0, is a testament to our ability to create and immediately deliver metadata management technology that premium content providers need to make their day-to-day operations easier and faster, and to allow for a stronger focus on business strategy.”
 
VideoSense 3.0 features include:

Optimize Digital Media Distribution

• Streamlined Metadata Input– At the heart of VideoSense3.0 ® is VS MetaFrame™, a unified framework for the creation, aggregation and distribution of rich metadata across the media business. Improvements include the new capability to add a segment to multiple tracks at the same time and improving the video player UI to greatly reduce the time for tagging content.
• Improved Workflow – Advanced navigation and pre-populated wizards use previously selected entries to auto fill values and selections to reduce data entry in VideoSense 3.0, significantly improving the workflow for digital media management.

Advanced Navigation

• New UI – To enhance the consumer experience and improve efficiency, Digitalsmiths revamped the look and feel in VideoSense 3.0 by making more computer screen real estate available so that day-to-day task management is easier, and various panels and data are placed where most relevant.
• Menu-Driven Navigation – With the addition of drop-down menus and context relevant right-click menus throughout the UI, VideoSense 3.0 significantly reduces the number of clicks required to accomplish time consuming tasks.
• Fully Integrated Online Help – Instead of referring to the help manual text book that is likely lost in a desk drawer or filing cabinet, VideoSense 3.0 now has fully integrated context relevant help. By clicking the question mark button, solution options will appear to guide the user.
• Pop-out Video Player – VideoSense 3.0 has a pop-up video player where content of a particular video asset can be reviewed the user can simultaneously jump directly into the appropriate place in the video management system to manage the asset.
