Overcast is a storage and collaboration video platform designed to help content owners manage their video content easily and securely.
We achieve serious cost reductions and operational efficiencies by making it possible for everyone to securely manage video – from less-technical marketers to highly technical IT administrators.
The Problem #1: Storage
Almost all video is now shot in HD or 4K. Put in context – a single 30 second commercial can produce 1hour of content rushes – 200+ GB of data – more data than can be stored on most laptops.
The Problem #2: Sharing and collaborating:
Currently, video content owners are using memory sticks, portable hard drives, dropbox, wetransfer and a number of other unsuitable consumer tools used to share and collaborate on video content. The result is that it’s time consuming and inefficient.
What Overcast does:
Overcast works with marketers, production companies, agencies, creatives and large video content owners to securely store, share and collaborate on their video content.
We solve production bottlenecks. Because video files are so big and difficult to move around, it restricts how many can be made. We make it easy to scale the amount of video created.
Overcast has signed partnerships with Amazon, Signiant and the Digital Production Partnership. A number of tech partnerships are pending.
The Client Opportunity:
Overcast is actively on-boarding new clients who want to scale their video operations, save money and increase sales.
