VIDA, a cloud-native media asset management system, has introduced QC Manager, a new capability that offers media organisations a structured, auditable way to manage quality control from review through to approval.
By centralising feedback and status tracking within VIDA, QC Manager enables teams to review, validate and manage technical feedback directly inside the platform without adding another tool to the workflow.
Built into VIDA, QC Manager makes quality control a visible, traceable part of the same lifecycle that governs ingest, metadata, rights and content delivery. Instead of managing quality control through disconnected spreadsheets, email threads and manual follow up, organisations can keep review, feedback and approvals locked to the assets themselves.
As content volumes grow and global showrunners become involved, fragmented quality control processes become harder to manage. Feedback can be lost, approvals can stall because asset status is unclear, and errors can slip through because there is no single place to view the complete review process.
QC Manager addresses these challenges by bringing review, feedback and approval into one structured workflow within VIDA.
"Quality control has always been one of the most fragmented parts of the media workflow, held together by spreadsheets and email threads rather than a single source of truth," said Symon Roue, Managing Director, VIDA.
"QC Manager brings review, feedback and approval directly into VIDA, making quality control a visible and traceable part of the content lifecycle. By keeping every quality check connected to the asset itself, teams gain a clearer, more structured way to manage review from intake through to final approval."
Unlike workflows where quality control takes place outside the content management platform, QC Manager operates directly within VIDA. Every quality check, comment, status change and approval is linked to the asset it relates to, creating a visible and traceable record throughout the content lifecycle.
Teams can manage review without switching tools, chasing confirmations or wondering whether the latest feedback has been addressed.
Designed to make review structured and repeatable, QC Manager keeps feedback tied to the asset and visible to everyone involved. This transforms quality control from a coordination exercise into a clear, managed process while providing organisations with greater visibility into review status, supplier collaboration and approval progress.
