Banijay Rights automates content preparation with Knox Media Hub’s Smart Trimming
The global content powerhouse streamlines VoD and FAST distribution with a fully automated workflow
Banijay Rights, the distribution arm of leading global content company Banijay, has transformed its content preparation workflow with Knox Media Hub’s Smart Trimming, eliminating manual editing and accelerating the delivery of seamless versions to monetize content for AVOD and FAST channels, at a minimal cost and an unbeatable time to market.
Before implementing Smart Trimming, Banijay Rights relied on manual editing to remove non-publishable elements such as color bars, endboards, textless segments, and frame holds. This process was both time-consuming and inefficient. Now, with Knox Media Hub’s fully automated workflow and Smart Trimming AI tool, seamless versions are processed in batches, properly transcoded, and ready for publishing—without human intervention.
This was made possible through a close collaboration between Banijay Rights and Knox Media Hub, ensuring the solution met the operational needs of a large-scale content distributor. Banijay’s commitment to innovation plays a key role in refining and enhancing the tool.
With Smart Trimming, Banijay Rights continues driving innovation in the creative industry, embracing automation to streamline workflows and maximize the value of its extensive content library.
