Metadata
Metatags allow for navigation on the time line by attached keywords. The scripting of the metadata is carried out by a standardized xmp-sidecar. In addition to standard xmp-metadata ViArchive namespaces enables scripting of the time line. This allows for example navigation on the time line of video clips by attached keywords or import/export metadata from video editing tools like Adobe Premiere. Metatags are easily added and with an included indexing engine video clips are fast to search. In ViArchive 2.0 you can now add metatags on durations in addition to single frames.

Proxy and streaming
On upload the system automatically creates a downsized streamable proxy file identical to the original, which provides fast access and reduces network traffic. The great advantage of this is that it enables fast access to the video also when for example jumping around on the time line or viewing the video at different speeds to get a quick overview. The original high quality file is however also stored on the server.

Transcoding
Although the video clips are streamed from proxy files, the transcoding to the requested output format is always done from the original uploaded high quality file on the server. No quality is thus lost in the process before transcoding to the desired export format.
