When I was editing at the BBC a couple of year’s ago, and they were using the Jupiter Library System, which shares footage to anywhere. You browse footage in low quality, and if you want that footage you download it in HD. The browser screen also shows any copyright restrictions and who to call if you need to pay. Crews can upload rushes for editing in/from any location. To send your edited programme to the server, just drag the MP4 file over an icon on your laptop and it will appear on the server available to anyone (viewing options available). I don’t think I ever call a library department, but maybe there’s someone somewhere keeping an eye on things?

¡Excelente material de archivo audiovisual! ¡Felicitaciones por tu trabajo y su difusión! ¡Saludos desde Argentina!😀

09:55 Anyone else notice the Twin Peaks theme music in the background?

Strangely all of this never seemed to be a problem when they were using those bulky 1" and 2" videotapes in the 60s, 70s and 80s with handwritten logsheets stuffed inside the tape cases. A case of discipline and multiple people pulling in the same direction being better than technology trying to keep tabs on disparate people working independently and with no overall control?

You've got so many Digital Betacam videotapes.

Uhh... The music used here is copyrighted. Does this mean that do you have the original file of this?

did you crop this to widescreen?

Is this not the failed BBC digital media thing? That only cost us £100 million. Hopefully is not more of them playing with our money!
