For entertainment studios, the process of managing talent content and moving it through the edit, review, and approval cycle can be inconsistent and unpredictable. Different dependencies, tight deadlines, and strict requirements all make for potential bottlenecks that can derail production timelines and release schedules. That’s where Globaledit’s talent workflow comes in—helping top studios like Warner Bros. move faster while maintaining complete control over their processes.

As you can see, Globaledit enables studio teams to streamline how they organize vast content libraries and accelerate their ability to manage the talent review and approval process. This powerful suite of features saves countless hours of manual tagging and practically eliminates the risk of manual error, decreasing talent approval timelines by up to 90%!

Real-time Asset Access and Organization

Globaledit’s real-time sync-to-cloud capability uploads assets the instant they’re captured, so retouchers, talent managers, and other downstream teams can start viewing content straight from set. Assets are automatically enriched with advanced metadata upon ingestion, saving countless hours of manual work while reducing the risk of inconsistent and inaccurate tagging. Plus, Globaledit accepts all file formats—from still and motion to 3D—and syncs all content directly into your team’s existing folder structure, so everything stays organized.

Rating, Statuses, and Custom Tags

Every team speaks its own language when it comes to project management. Globaledit’s flexible rating system and customizable tags keep everyone aligned from the beginning.

  • Create custom labels to match your existing workflow
  • Add brand- or project-specific metadata with custom tags
  • See exactly how many selects, approvals, or other decisions are made, and by whom
  • Filter and search folders and collections with any combination of these attributes

Get the Green Light with Dynamic Approval Galleries

Globaledit transforms your approval process from convoluted email threads into one easy-to-use source of truth. Our approval galleries make it easy for external teams and celebrity talent to review content and give their sign-off in seconds.

  • Talent approval galleries: Both talent and their representatives can access and complete galleries in an easy-to-use, mobile-first interface, eliminating back-and-forth and delays.
  • Custom rules: Set up custom, hyper-specific requirements, like minimum approval percentages, maximum kill rates, or exact approval numbers, to meet your project’s unique needs.
  • AI-powered search and organization: Globaledit’s AI Facial Recognition feature automatically identifies, tags, and organizes images of known celebrities (or custom faces) as soon as they’re uploaded, so you can search your library by talent and create approval galleries in seconds–no more manual sorting!

Watertight Security Controls: Share the Right Content with the Right People

Security and admin controls are non-negotiable, especially when it comes to the sensitive content that studios handle daily. Globaledit’s granular rights management features empower you to share content with and get feedback from exactly who you want.

  • Manage access and permissions on an individual- or group-based level
  • Set up role hierarchies that mirror your organization
  • Set time-limited access for temporary collaborators

Get Content to your Promotion Teams the Moment it’s Ready

For promotion teams, timing is everything. Globaledit’s always-on smart collections, automated talent recognition, and clear approval statuses ensure that they’ll always access the most up-to-date assets as soon as they’re approved to share publicly. Plus, social teams can ship content even faster by leveraging the in-platform cropping tool, which instantly resizes assets to channel-standard aspect ratios.

From studios to agencies, Globaledit users are able to take processes that used to take them days of tagging, sorting, and emailing down to just a few hours from start to finish. We’ve already seen it be a game changer for our clients and are excited to continue rolling out new features to power the magic behind the shows and films we love!
