video production metadata typingDistill Media is a video production company based in Kelowna BC. For one of our biggest clients, we are often asked to find and use video clips that we have shot over the last three years for use in current videos. To become more efficient, we are applying keywords to each raw video clip in our archive so that we can simply search for clips in the future.
We would like students to help us keep our library of client footage organized, by viewing video clips on our server and typing/applying searchable keywords for each clip.
This project is perfect for someone with an eye for detail, and the discernment to figure out what each shot/video project is about so that the right keywords can be applied. (Homeless man, instead of just 'man') for example.
If this sounds like the type of job for you, and are ready to tackle this challenge with us, then we'd love to hear from you.
To accomplish this, we expect the student(s) will:
- Remotely control one of our computers that runs the keywording software
- View video content hosted on our server
- Type keywords for what is seen in each clip
Students will work closely with the primary project manager who is supervising and available for questions. A training session will be offered to familiarize the student with Kyno, the program we use to view video clips and add keywords. Students will be granted remote access to the program, so a good internet connection would be an asset.
We will also include occasional progress meetings where adjustments to the students' tasks and duties can be made if necessary.
