Off-site Direct On-Demand Post-Production: Efficient, Fast, and Flexible

The Revolution of Post-Production – Instant Availability Without On-Site Presence

During a major medical congress, I once witnessed a moment that perfectly illustrated the impact of our Direct On-Demand Post-Production. A speaker had just stepped off the stage when, moments later, he and a colleague excitedly discovered that his presentation was already available online—complete with PowerPoint slides, embedded videos, and mouse pointer movements. Their amazement grew further when they realised that not only was the content available instantly, but it was also fully searchable. Attendees could jump straight to any section of the talk simply by searching for keywords. This seamless experience is precisely what we have achieved with our Direct On-Demand Post-Production.

What is Direct On-Demand Post-Production?

Our Direct On-Demand Post-Production enables us to publish recorded presentations within minutes of their conclusion. We take this even further: post-production begins while the recording is still in progress. Our system automatically performs text recognition, transcription, and indexing, making the content instantly available and searchable.

This capability is made possible by a sophisticated, highly automated system we have developed. Custom-built tools work intelligently together to ensure smooth and rapid processing, allowing event organisers to provide attendees with immediate access to high-quality, structured content.

The Evolution of Remote Post-Production

During the pandemic, we faced the challenge of transitioning live events to virtual formats. At the same time, our clients requested the ability to integrate their own virtual meeting platforms while maintaining our high production standards. This required us to develop a decentralised recording system that allowed livestreams to be captured remotely and edited in real time.

Now that in-person events have returned, we continue to apply these advancements, benefiting both our team and our clients. The entire post-production process is now handled remotely from our Post-Production Hub in Cologne, eliminating the need for an on-site post-production team. This shift delivers key advantages:

Advantages of Off-Site Post-Production

1. Reduced Travel Costs

Since our post-production team no longer needs to be on-site, significant travel and accommodation expenses are eliminated. This reduces logistical complexity and leads to direct cost savings for event organisers.

2. Resource Optimisation and Increased Efficiency

With a centralised post-production approach, our team can manage multiple projects simultaneously. By leveraging downtime between sessions, we optimise resources, reducing overall staffing requirements and further minimising costs.

3. Maximum Flexibility with Browser-Based Post-Production

Our post-production tools are now entirely browser-based, allowing for:

• Remote collaboration among post-production teams

• The ability to scale up instantly by adding remote editors when needed

• Seamless integration with on-site teams when additional support is required

Conclusion: Future-Proof Post-Production for Maximum Efficiency

Our Off-Site Direct On-Demand Post-Production combines efficiency with maximum flexibility. Event organisers benefit from lower costs, instant availability, and fully searchable archives—without compromising on quality.

With this innovative approach, we are setting new standards in webcast production—efficient, future-proof, and tailored to the evolving needs of our clients.
