Cloud based video editing project
Hello-
Let me preface this with the following – I am not an expert in the video and/or programming field but I am project manager for a new feature my company wants to launch.
We take video of softball recruiting camps and we create short skills video for our clients. We want to now want to create a cloud based editing site where our clients can log in and edit their own video and export it.
I see 3 parts to the process
1) Taking our video and locally tagging it – this is where I thought abobe prelude would help. Then I need to export the tagged clips to our cloud based editing storage area – is this something adobe premier pro can do? I do not want export individually – want batch ingestion and export.
2) I will need open source editing software to base my cloud based site on. Clients will be able to login and their clips will then be dynamically dumped int heir bin and they can edit. Any ideas on an open source program for online editing?
3) When completed client can export video to me (least worried about this)Help – any ideas?
Thank you

I have to assume, you’ve looked at a YouTube Video Editor and it doesn’t work for you?
Don’t know of any open source video editing software that can be repurposed for cloud use. WeVideo isn’t open source but still, could the biz edition or Google Drive edition work for you?
For any “local” app and especially for something as complex as video editing, it’s quite a chore to retrofit the UI for use in a browser or a remotely connected “thin client” – something Adobe has been working on with its Adobe Anywhere – and even they won’t support it over WAN, only on intranets initially.

Actually here is one: Kaltura.

As an interjection, you can export from Prelude straight to FTP and skip Premiere/Media Encoder entirely.

The issue is it needs to dynamically access the clips for a particular client – and allow that client to edit. youtube editor gives access to all clips uploaded and not for just the client logged in or am I missing something?
Thanks for your time I am still moving up the learning curve here.

VERY expensive and when I called got sales person who could not tell me if their product could do this – transferred me to sales and I got recording – still waiting for a reply. I also emailed with no reply.

Awesome – I thought so but “helpful” adobe rep said I needed to buy more software – imagine that???

YT editor is cloud and browser based but I don’t think it has any collaborative editing features.
Have you looked at the WeVideo Google Drive edition? You could share folders with various clients and client groups – I am not sure though if the editing is non-destructive (a requirement for collaborative editing) or how the flow will work, exactly.
If you could go through that edition and make notes, what works for you and what doesn’t, and share with all of us here, that’d be great. I am very curious about all this.

FFMPEG for output conversion will work well in web server (cloud) environment and could also be used to convert to pro res for editing. But as far as an open source video editor that’s a tough one. I’ve seen Kaltura used as a server based video archiving and hosting service but I don’t know about editing. Sounds like an interesting project…

Actually, even though there is little more codec functionality if you pay the $60 buck fee. Lightworks is open source though it has a very steep learning curve. As full featured as any professional level editing solution out there
Where are you from?……….originally.
