How CBS News, WGBH and Sony Pictures Solved Real-Time WFH Collaboration – Sony Ci Webinar


When: April 30, 2020
Time: 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. Pacific

Before ‘remote work’ was mandatory, some early adopters began using cloud-based solutions to make their production workflows more efficient. At CBS News, post-production teams have embraced the cloud to get to the final cut. At WGBH in Boston, a cloud ‘screening room’ solution was adopted to reduce cross-continent travel so executive producers could virtually review cuts with the director and editors. At SPE, productions are given a flexible Workspace in Ci where content can be uploaded, previewed and shared between trusted Workspace members or with external collaborators who only need limited access.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how teams have been using Ci’s real-time LiveSession feature to seamlessly and securely collaborate on content and continue production operations even when people can’t be in the same room.

Join this webinar to learn:

  • How Frontline has changed their workflow
  • Benefits and challenges for remote screenings at SPE
  • How LiveSession helps bypass the limitations of video-conferencing tools
  • Benefits of adopting a cloud production workflow beyond remote collaboration
