Limecraft (a leading provider of production and delivery workflows for the media and entertainment industry) and dzjinius (the all-in-one production management platform) have today announced a strategic partnership and deep product integration. The integration creates a unified end-to-end flow of metadata that enables unprecedented operational efficiencies, allowing media and entertainment production teams to deliver more effectively and focus on quality.
“In today’s fragmented production landscapes, teams are often forced to juggle multiple disconnected tools across departments – from planning and budgeting to editing and delivery,” says Nico Oorts, Head of Product of Limecraft. “This wastes time and increases the risk of errors and miscommunication. Limecraft and dzjinius have come together to solve this challenge, connecting the dots from pre-production to post-production and back again. This partnership is more than just a mere technical integration; it creates a bridge between operational and creative teams. Writers and planners can push scene and take data directly to Limecraft, while editors receive fully structured media assets with data originating from the planning phase. Executive producers and production coordinators can monitor progress through a smartphone app in real-time without switching between platforms.”
“For producers, this means less time spent on logistics and more time focusing on creative oversight,” adds Christophe Haan, CEO of dzjinius. “The ability to review and approve content remotely further supports distributed teams and accelerates decision-making. With dzjinius and Limecraft working in tandem, teams no longer need to hop between tools or worry whether files and metadata are correctly aligned; the combination operates seamlessly. This partnership represents a fundamental step forward for producers of both long-running daily series and high-end drama. By connecting creative planning and technical execution, we’re reducing friction in the workflow and giving creative teams more time to focus on storytelling. As productions grow in scale and complexity, the integration between the two companies provides a futureproof and sustainable foundation.”
The integration is powered by open APIs that eliminate the need for legacy workflows like watchfolders, spreadsheets or manual copy-and-paste. Production data flows seamlessly between platforms, allowing for task-based automation, synchronised metadata handover and playout of shots from within the planning interface itself.
Limecraft and dzjinius are co-hosting a webinar on Wednesday June 11th at 14:00 CET, demonstrating how to drive operational efficiency, illustrated by firsthand insights of how Warner Bros. Belgium is using the solution for highly efficient and effective TV drama production: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_-A7eCQkdT-K4RfwWJfS_pw
