Case Study: Special Operations Studios streamlines UGC collection and file ingest with MASV

Special Operations Studios uploads 4,000+ clips in minutes with MASV

Special Operations Studios, a production company, faced the challenge of efficiently and legally collecting massive amounts of user-generated video content from over 45 non-technical contributors for a Fiona Apple music video. They needed a browser-based upload solution that required no software installation, automated ingestion into their Frame.io and QNAP storage systems, and robust tools for obtaining legal clearance and tracking submissions.

The vendor, MASV, provided its Portals and automated workflow solutions. This enabled seamless, drag-and-drop uploads from mobile browsers, automatically transferred files to storage, and included custom forms for legal consent. The result was the smooth collection of over 4,000 clips with zero manual ingest steps, allowing the project to start editing faster and ensuring full legal compliance. MASV's platform was critical to the project's success.
