Case Study: West Coast Customs achieves fast, collaborative in-house post-production with Quantum Corporation's StorNext

StorNext at Heart of Post-Production Revamp for Customized Car Show

West Coast Customs, the high-profile custom car shop behind several reality TV shows, faced quality-control and turnaround problems because post-production was routinely outsourced to London. Shipping footage and coordinating edits across time zones meant slow responses to sponsor requests, frequent file shuttling on fragile drives, and limited editorial control during critical stages of production.

They brought post-production in-house with an end-to-end workflow built around Quantum StorNext, HP storage and workstations, an LTO-5 tape library, AVID editing, and FlavourSys’ Strawberry for project sharing. The new system delivers instant shared access, reliable tape backups, and seamless collaboration across multiple editors—speeding edits, preventing data loss, and restoring creative control without constant IT intervention.
