Today, every step of your workflow has to make dollars and sense. While every producer's workflow is a bit different, here is a starting point for comparison. Take the project outlined above, working with just 4 hours of interviews.

Have your interviews transcribed. Get your PA to log your video. As producer, slog through your transcripts and create your paper cut. Take a few hours to edit your video rough cut. Back to your transcripts to make revisions. And back to the edit suite to make another video. Sending your rough cut off to your client for review? More revisions.

The example above shows over 60% cost reduction and over 70% in time reduction! Please download our spreadsheet. Plug in your own numbers and see how PortalVideo can edit your bottom line.

Documentary producers, video bloggers, corporate producers joined PortalVideo to discuss the benefits of integrating an internet-based, editing workflow.

The Koppel Group at Discovery used the PortalVideo system to rough cut their documentary on the California prison system. PortalVideo managed their transcript needs, supported remote location access over the internet, and enabled them to edit down in a matter of hours what would have otherwise taken days or even weeks.
