In today’s fast-paced media landscape, there’s growing pressure to deliver more content, faster and better than ever before. From the initial idea to reaching your audience, content goes through many complex cycles. Managing these workflows efficiently can be a challenge. This blog will show you how Dalet Flex can empower your production workflows by streamlining these processes and putting Flex at the center of your media ecosystem to help solve this problem. Let’s dive into a step-by-step workflow.

A Sample Workflow

Here’s just one example of an endless number of workflows you can create to fit your specific needs, from ingest to endpoints.

1. Ingest

Modern media production requires managing content from various sources in many formats, making it essential to centralize and organize incoming media for smooth operations. Whether it’s file ingest or live ingest, Dalet Flex has you covered with powerful tools and the latest workflow packages:

• Camera Card Import: Use Dalet Kiosk to easily ingest camera cards.
• Watch Folders: Set up watch folders anywhere for automated content ingest.
• Drag and Drop with FlexMOVE: Quickly and efficiently import files.

All files ingested into Flex are centralized, tagged with consistent metadata, and accessible from any location.

The increasing demand for faster deliveries emphasizes the importance of live workflows, which are no longer confined to broadcasters. Dalet Flex supports the ingest and management of live streams, from web-compressed formats to on-premise SDI/IP streams. Dalet Flex seamlessly integrates with Dalet Brio, Dalet InStream, as well as other 3rd party solutions. This enables editing and delivery, even while the content is still ingesting.

The latest LTS introduces beta access to the new Dalet Ingest Portal, providing a modern solution for managing and centralizing your ingest operations. With a single, browser-based portal, you can oversee your entire ingest workflow collaboratively from anywhere—supporting both web-based sources and on-premises SDI and IP sources.

2. Content Preparation

Organizing and accessing large volumes of content, including archives, can be overwhelming without the right tools. Dalet Flex leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI) to simplify this complexity, enabling you to enrich content with actionable metadata and optimize workflows.

Key features of the Dalet Flex AI Workflow Package include:

• Automated Transcription, Translation, and Analysis: Quickly generate valuable metadata.
• Configurable Taxonomies: Structure content to suit your operational needs using a flexible data model.
• Enhanced Search Capabilities: Robust filtering tools make it easy to pinpoint exactly what you need.

Producers can efficiently search, filter, and organize content into team-oriented collections, fostering seamless collaboration. Dalet Flex extends these capabilities with the new Secure Share feature, allowing you to share single assets or entire collections securely via email. Permissions are controlled at a granular level, allowing you to specify whether recipients can view, edit, or download content. Shares are fully trackable and manageable, with the option to revoke access instantly.

With Dalet Flex, AI transforms both your incoming content and archives into powerful, accessible resources, enabling teams to collaborate securely and effectively.

3. Content Packaging

After organizing collections, the next step is content assembly, a pivotal process for shaping your vision and preparing it for delivery, or to share with your editorial team. Dalet Cut, a full-featured web-based editor, allows users to transform content from their entire library into polished, on-air-ready video packages. It’s also perfect to quickly create assemblies. With Dalet Cut, you can easily build timelines, apply transitions, and add effects to bring creative concepts to life and determine the best shots for your story.

Once your edit is complete, Dalet Cut eliminates the hassle of manual rendering, uploading, or transferring assets. Projects are stored as part of your library and can simply be added to your collections, making it easy to share with your editor alongside the rest of your curated content.

4. Editorial

Dalet Flex simplifies the editorial process with powerful tools for seamless collaboration, whether you’re working with in-house teams or external editors:

• Multiple Access Options for Editors: Dalet Flex offers seamless access to your collection and content for both internal and external editors. Flex users can work directly within their NLE of choice—whether using Adobe Premiere Pro via the Dalet Xtend panel or finalizing edits in Dalet Cut. For external editors outside your team, the new Secure Share feature provides an easy way to access and download entire collections without redundant file transfers. This eliminates the hassle of downloading, re-uploading, and re-downloading through file-sharing services, making the process more efficient.

• Seamless Premiere Pro Integration: With Dalet Xtend, your Flex media library is accessible directly within Premiere Pro, wherever you are. Editors can open a shared collection, use the new sequence exchange feature to convert Dalet Cut timelines into Premiere Pro timelines, and begin editing immediately. Whether using high-resolution files or bandwidth-saving proxy files, remote editing has never been easier.

• Centralized Media Management: Dalet Xtend enables editors to check media directly back into Flex from within Premiere Pro, ensuring all content remains centralized and accessible. This is essential for collaborative workflows and ensures your media stays organized, whether accessed by another team member or revisited for future edits.

• Efficient Remote Workflows: Exports can be sent directly to remote AMEs (Adobe Media Encoder rendering engines), enabling your content to be rendered without additional bandwidth or processing power on your local machine. While proxies may have been used locally, remote rendering is completed using high-resolution files. Once rendering is finished, the export is automatically checked into Dalet Flex, keeping all your content centralized and ready for the next step in your workflow.

Dalet Flex ensures that collaboration is simple, secure, and efficient. From streamlining file sharing with Secure Share to maintaining a unified media library, Flex empowers teams to work together seamlessly, no matter where they are. Whether editing remotely or on-prem, Dalet Flex is your solution for smarter, faster production workflows.

5. Review

Fast yet accurate content delivery requires robust review and approval tools, and Dalet Flex provides a powerful solution to ensure you deliver content both quickly and correctly. Built-in review and approval tools streamline the entire process by offering:

• Time-Coded Notes: Reviewers can leave detailed feedback directly within the timeline, whether through a browser or the Dalet FlexMOBILE app.

• Advanced Workflow Automation: The power of Dalet Flex goes beyond simple approvals or rejections. With multi-stage reviews and customizable actions, you can do so much more. For instance, instead of just marking a file as rejected, you can escalate it to the legal team, flag it for copyright concerns, or tag specific issues like a logo detected in a frame. Automation can then notify the appropriate team with a link for review. Once a file meets your exact specifications and is approved, automation can trigger subsequent workflows, such as transcoding into multiple formats, distributing assets to various outlets, or even notifying key stakeholders. While the possibilities are endless, Dalet Flex provides standard configurations so you can get started immediately.

• Secure Share for External Collaboration: Reviews often involve external contributors, which is why we implemented Secure Share. This new feature brings the full capabilities of FlexREVIEW but lets you securely and seamlessly invite external collaborators to review sessions using just their email address. It streamlines workflows, centralizes your content, and enables safe, efficient collaboration across teams.

By centralizing the review and approval process, Dalet Flex reduces the need for disconnected tools and minimizes errors. Automation and collaborative tools ensure content is delivered accurately and on time, allowing you to focus on creating high-quality content and meeting tight deadlines.

6. Distribute

The final stage of any production workflow is to deliver content to your audience across an ever-growing number of platforms and formats, each with its own evolving specifications. To keep up with these demands, you need a flexible, customizable workflow engine—and that’s where Dalet Flex excels.

At the core of Dalet Flex is a powerful workflow engine that allows you to create, modify, and adapt workflows to meet the needs of an ever-changing landscape. To accelerate your time-to-value, Dalet Flex includes prebuilt workflow templates. These out-of-the-box distribution workflows save time while still allowing customization, so you can tailor them to specific use cases as your requirements evolve.

The flexible workflow engine supports both manual and automated triggers, allowing you to seamlessly distribute content to platforms like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and your CMS simultaneously. But it doesn’t stop there—Dalet Flex further enhances your workflow with secure file sharing, making it easy to share an asset or even a collection of content outside your organization with a single click. With centralized permission control and tool consolidation, it boosts efficiency across the board. From idea to audience, Dalet Flex empowers your team to excel in today’s complex delivery environment.
