The rise of machine learning in TV and film production

Machine learning applications in editing and post-production projects are coming to the fore, and the BBC recently made use of the technology in its first experimental BBC 4 documentary, 'Made by Machine - When AI Met the Archive'. Vast archives of footage, images, marketing materials and post production work can be used for machine learning applications, and in turn drive creative automation. The technology also offers solutions to internal organisational problems. With the cloud and machine learning algorithms, businesses can begin to structure and automate processes for all of their content, saving hours of manual review and data entry. Video intelligence can identify key speech and individual faces.
