New Searchable Video Technology

There is some new and exciting technology that makes managing and utilizing archived video easier than ever before. I am working with several clients to develop searchable video databases from their new and existing footage.  This technology is brand new and is primarily used in the documentary industry to sift through hundreds/thousands of hours of footage.  Because of my involvement with multiple large associations and corporations I saw a need for this technology to manage archived conference footage in what would otherwise be an extremely time consuming process.



The end product is a Flash video file that has the transcribed metadata embedded to make finding specific words easier than ever before!  It really is amazing and what used to take hours only takes seconds now.
