VICE Media’s unconventional approach to content also extends to video review and approval in the cloud. VICE quickly scaled the use of Frame.io, built within the AWS Cloud, across their 36 offices globally and video team of more than 2,000. This bold move allows them to save 100+ business days a year, that would otherwise be spent on traditional video review and approval methods. But they’re not stopping there; VICE plans to further accelerate their content creation in the near future through the use of Frame.io’s new Platform and API.
