You Can't Monetize it if You Can't Find It

Without a reliable ingest workflow, media businesses tend to leave their raw assets scattered around on various hard drives, USB sticks, and other storage devices, with poor - if any - naming conventions.

Not only does that lead to difficulty in finding and monetizing the assets Editors need, but it also risks the valuable footage being lost forever.

Curator Connect requires the user to apply relevant metadata to the assets on ingest, ensuring all raw footage is easily brought into the system and easily discovered by all who need it.
