Blackbird reveals need for optimised production tools Technology licenser, developer and seller Blackbird has demonstrated that natively optimised production tools can transform video production and streaming in its recent video industry study. The study, produced in collaboration with Caretta Research, found that 90 per cent of video professionals are using cloud production and remote editing as part of their content creation but that most of this remote editing is still implemented using inefficient and slow workflows. “These inefficiencies can be most evident in speed, cost and flexibility which also happen to be the most important factors in any cloud workflow, according to the data we have collected,” said Ian McDonough, CEO of Blackbird. “The encouraging news is that highly optimised, energy and carbon efficient cloud-native technologies exist to solve these issues.” Download the full report here: https://downloads.carettaresearch.com/cloud-production
