Enhancing Multimedia Workflow at CERN: A Vision for Collaboration and Efficiency

On January 10, 2011, Thomas Baron, Jacques Fichet, and Tim Smith addressed critical workflow issues at CERN, highlighting the lack of collaborative editing, manual processes, and inadequate asset management in multimedia production. To streamline operations, they proposed a network file storage system for multimedia documents, supported by an asset management system. Key enhancements include automated workflows with flexible approval handling, better transcoding capabilities, and integration with Final Cut Pro. This vision aims to unify teams and enable future 3D rendering, enhancing overall productivity and collaboration.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Improving CERNAV Workflow 10th January 2011 Thomas Baron, Jacques Fichet, Tim Smith

  2. Current Issues • No collaborative editing • And no asset management • A lot of manual processes • Manual approval process • No quick preview • Several teams involved • AVC, CDS, OIS • No process monitoring • Lack of archiving of rushes

  3. Proposed Solution • Network file storage for collaborative work on multimedia documents (photos+videos) • Supported by an asset management system • Automate workflow, incl. flexible approval handling • Transcoding using (professional) commercial tools • Add intro/outro/watermarks • Add new output formats: podcasts, h264 • Compatible with future 3D rendering needs (CUDA) • Integrate with Mac platform used for AV production • Final Cut Pro • Final Cut Server for asset mgmt and workflow mgmt
