137 - Automating Video Content Transformation to Vertical Video Using AI
OTT and streaming media providers are under increasing pressure to rapidly transform content into multiple video formats, clips, and platform-specific versions optimized for streaming TV, mobile apps, social media, FAST channels, and connected devices. Surprisingly, AI-powered video transformation systems can automatically generate highlights, trailers, captions, and social clips in minutes instead of hours, dramatically reducing production time and operational costs. Manually converting content into multiple formats is expensive, time consuming, difficult to scale, and can produce inconsistent quality, poor contextual understanding, and ineffective viewer engagement across different platforms. This podcast session helps you to discover how AI-powered video transformation tools can automate media processing workflows, reduce costs, accelerate multi-platform distribution, and improve audience engagement and monetization results.
