The last few years have seen video, graphics and maps becoming required elements of successful online journalism. The challenge facing any editorial environment is to keep up with this development while adhering to strict cost efficiency requirements.
Not long ago, image editing was regarded a specialist task. Only experts manning the picture desk could be trusted to format images that would render properly. This story is repeating itself, only now it’s video, graphics and geo-tagging of content that is the special case that needs to be handled by a select few.
Escenic has included the most important requirements for image editing in Escenic Content Studio. Now journalists can choose to apply predefined crop masks adhering to the website's design guidelines, add a different version of the same picture, while resizing is managed transparently by Escenic Content Engine.
If editing of stills can be demystified and taken into standard content workflows, why not video, graphics and maps as well? The Vizrt Video Hub has been developed to meet newsroom efficiency standards: All normal content management should be handled in the normal workflow, eliminating the need to send off content to specialists. This enables the users of Escenic Content Studio to publish quickly, with videos, maps and graphics, and leaves the video and graphics specialists to focus on the more advanced, time-consuming tasks.
Escenic has integrated these workflow steps into Escenic Content Studio, integrating management of video, graphics and maps into the mainstream editorial workflow in the process.
