As media companies grow, they accumulate reams of old tapes and undigitized video in their warehouses. These assets can be valuable, but difficult to access and monetize in their current form. Additionally, storing these assets in warehouses is risky and expensive.
Media businesses can address these issues by migrating their assets to cloud storage, specifically Amazon Web Services' Simple Storage Service (S3). S3 is a scalable, durable, and secure object storage service that can store and retrieve any amount of data anywhere on the web. By migrating assets to S3, media companies can reduce their business risk, reduce the cost of storing and accessing assets, and increase revenue generation.
Once assets are migrated to S3, they can be processed using pipelines to transcode video, extract metadata, and make the archive searchable. Extracted metadata can be used to integrate assets with existing systems, making them more accessible and usable for editors.
The following code example demonstrates how to extract metadata from a video asset stored on Amazon S3 using Node.js and the AWS SDK. Metadata is extracted using Amazon Cloud Technology Elastic Transcoder, and the generated metadata will be saved to Amazon DynamoDB and Amazon OpenSearch.
This code sample demonstrates how to use Amazon Web Services Elastic Transcoder to extract metadata from video assets stored on S3. The metadata is then saved to DynamoDB and OpenSearch for further processing and querying. This code can be modified to support different file formats, metadata extraction techniques, and storage options.
Migrating media assets to S3 is a technical solution that can provide many benefits. It reduces business risk, lowers the cost of storing and accessing assets, and makes it easier to generate revenue from assets. If your media company is looking for a way to manage legacy tapes and undigitized video, consider migrating assets to S3.
The solution goes beyond extracting and storing metadata. Effective strategies include creating GUIs or integrating them with existing asset management solutions to extract more meaningful data for editors to search.
in conclusion
Migrating media company assets to Amazon S3 offers a transformative solution for managing and monetizing valuable content. By leveraging the scalability, durability, and security of S3, media businesses can reduce risk, lower storage costs, and unlock new revenue streams. Additionally, extraction of metadata and integration with existing systems enhances accessibility and enables editors to get the most out of their assets.
