Origami Platform has launched Metadata Flow, a new feature designed to ensure production metadata “moves seamlessly from set through editorial, post-production and VFX”.
“As film and TV workflows become increasingly complex, spanning multiple vendors, locations and cloud environments, metadata is often fragmented, inconsistently delivered, or lost entirely between handoffs,” Origami said.
“While picture and sound are carefully managed, the contextual data that underpins creative and technical decisions has historically been harder to track and maintain.”
Metadata Flow is said to address this by automatically discovering metadata from multiple sources, aggregating it into a unified dataset, and binding it directly to media assets.
This ensures that complete, contextualised information is delivered downstream to editorial, VFX and post teams without the need for manual intervention.
Mark Purvis, CEO of Origami, said: “The handling of metadata is an ambiguous task, there is no department solely responsible for managing it and as a result, this valuable information rarely arrives to those that need it most.
“Metadata Flow changes that, providing a reliable conduit from production, to editorial, post, VFX and beyond.”
By ensuring metadata travels with the media throughout the pipeline, the feature is designed to improve the accuracy of VFX turnovers, reduce time spent chasing information, and minimise errors caused by missing context.
Metadata Flow is available now within the Origami platform and works in conjunction with Origami Link to enable continuous metadata collection across production and post environments.
