The Workflow Show #203 “Beyond Metadata: The Role Of Audio And Video Search”

5 May 2017

AVP President Chris Lacinak is a featured speaker in this Chesapeake Systems Podcast discussing video metadata workflows and two powerful new search applications, Nexidia and NerVve. Nexidia is a phonetic search application that can scan a library of literally thousands of hours of footage in seconds. NerVve is an application that works similarly with video imagery search. Both applications present easy-to-use interfaces, and the results typically “blow-away” first-time users.

Joined by representatives from each company, the panelists address the questions of what role these applications play in advanced video workflows and whether they threaten or complement metadata-driven media asset management systems?

Audiovisual Metadata Platform (AMP) Large-Scale Tool

5 May 2017

Indiana University, UT Austin, and AVP were awarded a Mellon planning grant in 2017 —called “Audiovisual Metadata Platform” (AMP)—to continue investigating large scale metadata generation of audiovisual materials. This presentation given at the Digital Library Federation conference in 2017 reports on the outcomes of an in-person meeting of archivists and technical experts who gathered as part of the grant for a three day workshop focused on AMP’s technical architecture and design.
