Case Study: VICE Media boosts Standards & Practices review productivity with Frame.io

VICE Media boosts productivity by 70% with Frame.io

VICE Media faced a significant challenge with its manual Standards & Practices review process. The team had to ensure compliance across three separate levels of broadcast standards for its boundary-pushing content, a labor-intensive task that required nearly three times a program's runtime to complete. This created immense pressure, especially for shows with same-day air times. To address this, they turned to the vendor Frame.io and its API to find a solution.

Frame.io implemented a customized solution using its API integrated with AI transcription tools. This automation streamlined the identification of sensitive content, such as expletives, and placed the data into an easily viewable spreadsheet. The result was a 70% time savings for the S&P team, allowing them to handle tight turnarounds with less stress and focus on more creative work. This efficiency, developed by VICE's media systems developer in collaboration with Frame.io, had a profound positive impact on the entire workflow.
