The Traditional Workflow: Slow, Costly, Bandwidth-Heavy

Until now, creating individual highlights from a full match typically required:

1. Downloading the complete file (e.g. a 90-minute match)

2. Importing it into a local editing system

3. Possibly converting the file into a compatible editing codec

4. Editing and exporting the highlight

5. Uploading or redistributing the result

This workflow consumes:

• Significant outbound traffic

• High internet bandwidth

• Editing workstation capacity

• Valuable production time

And in many cases, the traffic cost of distributing full-length matches exceeds the actual editing cost of creating the highlight.

The New Workflow with RCE: Direct, Fast, Efficient

With the Rough-Cut Editor, your media partners can:

• Access the archived master file directly in the scoopa player

• Mark in and out points for relevant scenes

• Combine multiple segments into a customized rough cut

• Export the result in broadcast quality

• Select their preferred output codec

All without downloading the original full-length file.

The master content remains securely stored in scoopa’s cloud infrastructure, while partners work only with the segments they truly need.

What This Means for You and Your Media Partners

1️⃣ No Download of Full-Length Matches

There is no need to download a 90-minute file just to extract 60–90 seconds of key moments.

This significantly reduces:

• Outbound data traffic

• Internet bandwidth requirements

• Local storage usage

2️⃣ No Import into Editing Systems

Since highlights are defined and generated directly within the platform:

• No local ingest into NLE systems

• No workstation blocking

• No dependency on editing infrastructure

Media partners can work faster and more independently — directly within the distribution environment.

3️⃣ No Separate Cross Conversion Step

RCE allows partners to choose their preferred output codec during export.

That means:

• No pre-conversion before editing

• No post-conversion after export

• No additional encoding tools required

Cross conversion is integrated into the workflow — seamlessly and efficiently.

Massive Time Savings

By eliminating restore processes, downloads, imports and separate conversions, the turnaround time for highlight delivery drops dramatically.

In sports and news environments, where minutes matter, this creates a measurable competitive advantage.

Lower Costs Compared to Traditional Distribution

The economics are compelling:

• Editing costs for selected segments are lower than distributing entire match files.

• Outbound traffic for small highlight packages is significantly cheaper than full-match downloads.

• Reduced bandwidth requirements lower operational pressure on partner infrastructures.

In short: less data moved, more value created.

Empowering Your Global Media Ecosystem

The Rough-Cut Editor is not just a feature — it is an enablement tool.

It allows you to:

• Empower media partners to create their own tailored highlight packages

• Reduce your operational distribution burden

• Increase the strategic value of uploading full-event recordings

• Maintain broadcast-quality standards across global markets

Your complete match remains securely stored in scoopa’s multi-redundant cloud infrastructure — globally accessible, scalable and instantly usable in full or in customized segments.

Turning Full-Length Content into Flexible Assets

With RCE, a 90-minute match is no longer a static file that needs to be moved around.

It becomes a dynamic content asset — instantly accessible, selectively editable and globally distributable.

Less bandwidth.
Less time.
Lower costs.
More flexibility for your media partners.

That is the new standard in sports content distribution.
