Gotuit Publishes Video Archives on the Web

With a team of 16 people working double shifts, it reportedly took Comedy Central many months to create the clip library for TheDailyShow.com.

Software maker Gotuit offers an easier way, providing an indexing work flow platform that lets content distributors efficiently organize clips using metadata guidelines to power video discovery and monetization.

Gotuit recently helped extreme outdoor sports site XONtv.tv create channels with the sites existing video, organizing around 300 hours of segments into 13 channels on in about 1 ½ weeks.

Gotuit lets content owners publish many ‘virtual’ clips from a single video file. An archive of shows could consist of 30 hour-long video files and yet may appear to be published as hundreds or thousands of separate clips each with their own thumbnail, title, start/end time, etc.

Gotuit promises benefits such as “no buffering, full-screen option, embedding, bandwidth detection and sequential play-out.” The Gotuit service integrates with a number of broadband ad management/servers.
