The advent of the Internet has enriched communication for businesses as well as individuals. Increasingly, people rely on the use of images (ranging from emoticons to memes to sharing self-made pictures) and videos to convey messages and meaning.

As a result of this trend, stock photos first emerged as a sought-after media product. But video was increasingly in demand, as more and more options for website embedding appeared. The sector is highly “democratic” in terms of its relationship with users, with complex issues arising. People can upload, share, duplicate videos, creating complex issues when it comes to copywriting, ownership and usage. Companies dealing with stock footage are also vulnerable to security threats, and often constitute a visible target.

The Problem

Videvo is an Oxford-based company that wanted to create a platform for stock footage and other media content. They wanted their platform to be two-tiered, with subscription-based premium services included. In time, the importance of data safety became increasingly clear, and various additional functions had to be added in order to make the platform fit-for-purpose. In an ironic twist of fate, an initial design competition for Videvo’s website was not won by eJump. But, given that the solutions eJump came up with were ultimately best suited for site management, our company was chosen as a provider in developing the Videvo site.

  • Videvo wanted to create a platform for stock videos and other resources
  • Stock content platforms have unique complexities, and usually a two-tier structure with added benefits for subscribers
  • Multiple ancillary needs such as security arose in the process of developing a functional stock video website

The Solution

Initial contact between Videvo and eJump started as early as 2012. After eJump created the early, functional website, growth brought about new requirements and needs for the client. After a while, Videvo asked eJump to implement new functionalities and to make fine adjustments, to redesign parts of the website, then finally to ensure better optimization. Lastly, as the Videvo platform grew, security became a distinct need, as data privacy and property rights became increasingly salient issues.

The workflow linked to Videvo’s needs has become a thriving business relationship. eJump continues to work on what is one of the largest online sources of free HD stock footage and motion graphics, developing to a level of quality and an user-friendly approach that ensure its continued growth. We couldn’t be more happy to handle the programming and maintenance services for such a long time, offering our programmers both great experience and familiarity with long-term business partnerships.

Content ingestion system

The development of a content ingestion system capable of automatic processing of automated raw content in its various formats, metadata extraction, publication and automatic categorization and tagging.


Security infrastructure

The development of state-of-the-art security infrastructure for the website, including regular security audits and high-security server configuration. The use of advanced security architecture is extremely important in websites that allow autonomous uploading, as this can become a gateway for multiple security risks.


Integration

Videvo has annual revenue ranging in the millions of USD. It maintains a large database of free and subscription-based stock video footage with over 500,000 video clips in 4k and HD. Videvo also offers a wide selection of music and sound. It has seen recent growth and improvement in rankings. This growth has lead to its acquisition by Freepik, creating new opportunities for business development and validating Videvo’s long-term strategy. Its website and its multiple functionalities, a positive track record on security and overall ease-of-use have greatly contributed to the success of Videvo as a platform.
