The Vubiquity Library Clean Up solution helps studios and media organizations reclaim control over fragmented and metadata-poor video archives. Studio Video Masters are often scattered across multiple S3 buckets or repositories, with minimal linkage or visibility into their relationships. Each title or episode can consist of 50+ files, often with unknown versions or incomplete metadata, creating major inefficiencies in determining the best source assets—referred to as “Hero” sources.

Key Challenges Addressed

• Dispersed assets across S3 without a unified structure

• Lack of consistent or reliable metadata

• Inability to programmatically determine Hero assets

• Manual QC bottlenecks and inconsistent asset quality
