#Digital Video Market
Let's kick this section off. I am putting in my first digital video system this
month. My client is a traditional video production house that is making an
investment in where they see the future going.
I'd like to compile a list of potential markets for a company who is
transitioning to digital video from traditional video. Here are some ideas
we've come up with so far, why not add to the list:
* CD ROM Publishing – Editing together movie clips and segments for parts of a
CD-ROM environment. Many CD-ROM publishers may not have materials for filming
needed segments, or experience in editing together a good-looking presentation.
* Digital Service Bureau – Digitizing video and film clips to disk for clients
who have the computer equipment, but have not made the bid investment in a
variety of tape decks and video equipment.
* Online system for final editing with client's EDL – Clients can edit together
a variety of tapes into a final presentation at low-res on their systems and
generate a EDL (Edit Decision List) for the final edits. These can then be
converted to a high-end system for final tape-to-tape editing. This lets
clients with less expensive computer systems still take some advantage of
digital video editing.
Any other ideas? I'll compile them together into some type of report.
