For the past 10 years, the BIG event, organized by Bpifrance, has established itself as a key event for innovation in France. Bringing together thousands of participants, this event offers a unique setting for discovering the latest innovations and leading discussions on the economic and technological future.
With over 450 conferences taking place over the course of a day, the BIG event requires extraordinary logistics on many levels. Here's a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of live video content.
For this 10th edition, Bpifrance has once again called on Yuzzit, our live video cutting solution, to capture and create video clips in real time. While Yuzzit has already collaborated with BPI in previous editions, this year marks a new stage in the partnership, with more complex needs and ever more innovative solutions.
For a company like Bpifrance, real-time processing of conferences, so that replays of sessions can be shared during the day, rather than in the days following the event as in previous editions, has become a priority. Every conference, every speech, must be shared quickly and efficiently across multiple platforms, to maximize the event's reach and impact on networks.
To meet the growing ambitions of this anniversary year, Bpifrance expressed a triple challenge to Yuzzit:
To optimize the real-time distribution of video content at BIG, two complementary processes have been set up for the use of Yuzzit:
Letsee's teams relied on a combination of pre-defined presets and advanced automation, enabling users to share their extensive video content quickly and seamlessly in real time.
Based on two strategic workflows, this process takes over from the Letsee teams, but includes systematic proofreading of the descriptions generated by a team of four proofreaders via a validation status system, ensuring the quality and consistency of high value-added content.
Thanks to its technical capabilities and robust functionalities, Yuzzit proposed tailor-made developments to meet all Bpifrance's needs.
"Nearly 500 videos enriched with a wealth of data were published in a single day, compared with several weeks in previous years," explains Laurent Fabre (Chief Customer Officer), who managed the project for Yuzzit.
The Yuzzit system allows you to capture every key moment of a conference with precision. Once the start and end points have been defined, the video is instantly available for further processing. Automatic subtitles can be added in seconds.
The Yuzzit development team worked with an artificial intelligence solution capable of producing automatic text summaries for each intervention, based on the analysis of selected video segments. This system optimizes content while guaranteeing the relevance of the information extracted.
Thanks to a customized lexicon integrated for the occasion, texts are enriched with keywords and proper nouns specific to the event, enabling the AI to better contextualize and analyze interventions.
This feature allows you to obtain both a short summary to feed the description of videos when they are published, and to retrieve a long summary for the creation of a post-event article.
The real strength of the Yuzzit solution lies in its ability to automate content publishing across multiple platforms. For BIG, a new publishing destination was created for the Inwink platform. With a single click, videos are first published on YouTube, then Yuzzit automatically retrieves the URL and integrates it into Inwink's session pages.
AI automation also enables the texts generated to be transposed into video descriptions on YouTube, Inwink and social networks.
With 27 video streams to manage simultaneously at BIG 2024, Yuzzit was able to adapt to the dimensions and needs of the event. Each conference room created on Inwink has its own video stream, and the content is captured by Yuzzit, processed and made available for seamless clipping, guaranteeing fluid, optimized publication on the selected platforms.
The expected results of this partnership go beyond the simple distribution of videos. Thanks to the speed of publication and seamless integration between the different platforms, Bpifrance can significantly strengthen its online presence around the BIG event.
By publishing content quasi-directly on its social networks, Bpifrance maximizes engagement and captures the attention of its audience, whether on YouTube, or Inwink.
In addition, the rapid availability of content to partners and speakers has enabled them to relay the information in turn, amplifying the event's reach and strengthening the broadcast ecosystem.
With the support of Yuzzit's live clipping solution and automated publishing, Bpifrance can meet the challenge of online presence and continue to promote innovation and entrepreneurship at the heart of its flagship event. While Yuzzit is just one of the cogs that have contributed to this success, its role in the rapid and intelligent distribution of video content has enabled BIG to shine even more brightly on the networks and engage an ever-growing audience.
For companies looking to optimize their video production for major events, Yuzzit offers a reliable solution combining efficiency, automation and quality. We look forward to hearing from you!
