“Leave the gun, take the cannoli”… “I feel the need, the need for speed”… “Life is like a box of chocolates” – all iconic moments in film history that make you stop and think about where you were when you watched them for the first time.
Today, Paramount Digital Entertainment has created another iconic moment in film history with the launch of www.paramountclips.com, a self-service B2B portal that offers a digital film index of Paramount’s 80 most beloved and successful films.
Digitalsmiths is proud to be the digital media solution for this unprecedented and truly revolutionary approach to clip monetization. Our VideoSense® product is managing the complete digital media workflow – indexing, discovery, clipping, transcoding, distribution and fulfillment – to help create new, worldwide licensing opportunities for Paramount.
With the advanced video analysis and management capabilities in VideoSense, Paramount now has a comprehensive “digital blueprint” of intelligent video tags that includes actors, dialogue, scenes, genres, locations, clearances and much more. This makes it fast and easy for Paramount’s worldwide business partners to search for, create and license clips in multiple languages, eliminating time-consuming manual processes while creating new revenue opportunities.
For Digitalsmiths, this is yet another example of the power of a studio-grade digital media system. VideoSense is purpose-built to manage the most demanding, high-performance environments – digital master files in excess of 100GB, multiple file versions, multiple language tracks, multiple platforms, complex distribution deal terms – to deliver a solution that makes premium film, television, news and sports assets easy to use, easy to view and easy to monetize.
With great customers like Paramount, life really is “like a box of chocolates”…very sweet.
Sincerely,
Ben
