How Important is Quality Control and Assurance in Your Workflow?
Why QC Matters More Than Ever
A single missed frame or out-of-sync audio can disrupt your production schedule, increase costs, and damage your brand reputation. Which is why quality can’t be negotiable in your media workflow.
Whether you’re delivering corporate communications, streaming a live sports event, or producing binge-worthy content, your audience expects flawless results. A single technical glitch, like corrupted frames or the wrong color space, can erode trust and cost you money.
The challenge? Media teams are under tight deadlines, working with huge file sizes, and often spread across multiple locations. Manually checking every file is unrealistic. That’s why automated quality control (QC) is no longer optional, but essential.
With FLOW, EditShare makes quality control seamless, integrating powerful QC solutions directly into your workflow so every piece of media is checked, verified, and ready for delivery, without slowing you down.
Why Quality Control is Critical for Media Teams
Brand Reputation – Poor-quality content affects credibility and trust.
Compliance – Broadcasters, OTT platforms, and corporate networks have strict delivery specs.
Cost Savings – Catching issues early avoids costly rework, reshoots, or distribution delays.
When you build QC into your workflow, you protect your production pipeline and ensure your team focuses on creativity, not troubleshooting preventable errors.
The Role of QC in a Modern Media Workflow
Today’s workflows aren’t confined to a single edit suite or on-prem server. Teams work remotely, pulling content from shared storage, and delivering across multiple platforms.
Without a robust QC process:
Errors can slip through during ingest, transcoding, or distribution.
Remote teams may never catch problems until final delivery.
Archives risk being filled with faulty or incomplete assets.
That’s where FLOW Automation + QC integration steps in.

In the ever-changing world of broadcasting, remote projects have transformed the industry. The pandemic showed us what was possible, with production moving from inside studios to live locations and even peoples’ homes, using techniques that may include remote desktop software and cloud platforms such as Zoom and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Several elements are needed to execute remote broadcasting successfully, including a reliable internet connection, quality broadcast equipment and web-based tools for collaborating on video editing, graphics and more. Broadcasters also face continuously shifting, imminent deadlines, so streamlining workflows and sharing files quickly is imperative. That’s why employing the right collaboration tool is so important.
Why team collaboration is essential for remote broadcasts
Remote broadcasts require capturing massive amounts of audio and video content from remote locations and sending it all to a central facility or studio. The remote production team must collaborate efficiently with that facility to ensure a seamless broadcast.
Digital video transmission enables the delivery of high-quality content and timely updates to their audiences, regardless of the geographical distance between facilities. That’s why having the right equipment is imperative for the success of a remote broadcast.
In this industry, creating and editing content quickly is nonnegotiable. If a single copy of media gets lost or destroyed, finding something else to plug in for that evening’s broadcast in a pinch can cause a frenzy, with producers and editors scrambling to fill the slot. That’s why resilience is essential, along with having alternate media available online at all times. If a producer needs to pivot to a new story at the last minute, they must have access to all the required assets without adding the unnecessary delays of searching for the proper files.
Employing the right video collaboration software can increase your team’s overall efficiency and help establish clear goals. Sharing information quickly and easily saves you the most precious resource available in broadcasting – time. Additionally, when your team sees the results of their work in real-time, it can help boost morale and strengthen the culture.
