Use case

Improve asset management and search by extracting data and insights from media.

Your value and outcomes

The exponential growth of media content presents a significant opportunity to derive valuable insights and streamline operations through effective asset management. However, the sheer volume of data, inefficient search capabilities, and the manual effort required to extract meaningful insights from video and audio slows media organizations’ progress toward unlocking this potential. SOUTHWORKS AI-powered Video Metadata Enrichment Pipeline addresses these challenges by automating metadata extraction and enabling intelligent search with Azure Video Indexer, Azure OpenAI, and other Azure services. This service helps customers transform vast media libraries into easily searchable and analyzable assets, accelerating content production and enhancing discoverability.

• Streamline news production and content creation. Our AI-powered Video Metadata Enrichment Pipeline allows editorial teams to search their entire video library using simple text prompts, instantly surfacing the most relevant clips. These clips can then be automatically combined with AI-generated narration and virtual presenters to create complete video stories rapidly, reducing production time from hours to minutes.

• Unlock deep content insights and metadata. Leverage advanced AI capabilities such as Azure AI Content Understanding, Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Video Indexer, and Azure AI Vision to automatically extract comprehensive metadata and powerful insights from your media assets. This includes transcription, translation, object/label recognition, and sentiment analysis, enabling a deeper understanding of your content.

• Enhance discoverability and reuse of video assets. By transforming unstructured video data into structured, searchable information, Video Metadata Enrichment Pipeline allows for smarter reuse of existing video assets. This leads to faster content discovery and maximizes value from your media archives.

• Reduce manual effort and free up creative teams. Automate the laborious tasks of discovery, editing, and assembly of video content. This frees journalists, producers, and creative teams to focus on storytelling and high-value tasks, rather than time-consuming manual processes.
