Producers Library, one of Hollywood’s oldest independent stock footage companies was looking to migrate its library online and create a fully indexed, searchable website, complete with a unique time-coded marker feature for ordering film clips.

“Our competition was using the Web as a key distribution channel, enabling faster and easier access to footage,” said Jeff Goodman, President of Producers Library. “We knew we needed to move our library online to compete but we also needed to find a company that could implement this for us on a budget we could afford.”

After careful evaluation of custom development services and stock photo management software, Producers Library chose NetXposure, a provider of digital asset management solutions and industry pioneer in developing Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) to improve the organization, management and accessibility of its digital library.

Combining NetXposure’s powerful video asset management capabilities with a unique online user experience, complete with advanced video search and editing capabilities, Producers Library is realizing the following benefits:

Improved productivity through reduction of search times and lower costs. – Using NetXposure, Jeff Goodman estimates the amount of time it takes his employees to copy requested clips for customers have been cut from hours to minutes; and courier, production and shipping costs have been significantly reduced.

Increased customer response rates that positively impact sales potential. – Producers Library subscribes to Footage. net, a stock, archival, and news footage network, where ad, film, TV and new media professionals can submit requests for footage from a network of over 50 providers. The provider that meets the requests fastest usually makes the sale. NetXposure helps Producers Library respond to customer requests more efficiently and effectively.
