Florian Woisel, Product Maker & Product Owner at ChangeNOW, shares his experience of integrating Yuzzit at the ChangeNOW Summit. Discover the different uses and benefits of the solution, to increase the impact of the many conferences at this event dedicated to solutions for the planet.
ChangeNOW, an international event dedicated to finding solutions for a sustainable world, aims to optimize the reach of its conferences to convey its message to businesses and individuals alike.
The main challenge, according to Florian Woisel, Product Maker & Owner at ChangeNOW, was to "facilitate the retrieval and distribution of conference videos" for widespread and rapid distribution to its audience and partners.
Yuzzit was chosen for its ability to simplify these processes, thanks to its real-time video trimming tool, its ability to manage replays to maximize content creation, and its social network sharing functionality.
"Our initial aim was to make it easier to retrieve and host videos at Yuzzit for distribution on our channels, mainly YouTube. This made it possible to make all sessions available for streaming and, for certain strategic videos, to share them quickly with our partners. Working with Yuzzit helped us achieve these goals," explains Florian.
One of the best things about Yuzzit is that it's quick and intuitive to learn.
"Another advantage of Yuzzit is that we can carry out all these tasks [video cutting and editing] without any prior knowledge of the video world. A training session lasting around 20 minutes was enough to familiarize the volunteers with the tool's main functions, which is essential for a team made up largely of volunteers," points out Florian.
Combined with effective upstream preparation. This ease of use enabled ChangeNOW to maximize the efficiency of its team at the event, with a direct impact on content production and publication.
"My technical skills found their place alongside the tool to structure the sessions to be captured. Having knowledge of the day's interventions, it was essential to meticulously define each breakdown, timing, titles, descriptions and hashtags specific to each part upstream. This also included the customization of titles for YouTube, adapted to each intervention. Thanks to this solid foundation, we were able to work efficiently by sharing these preparations with our partners, while ensuring consistency in our communication during the live event. Every link shared and every detail planned allowed us to maximize the impact of our content and keep a close eye on our online presence," explains Florian.
Used for live feeds from the 3 main stages, Yuzzit enabled them to be captured, cut and edited in real time.
Teams were able to instantly segment each intervention over the three days to create short videos that were immediately shared on social networks.
"This live video trimming functionality was crucial in meeting the tight online deadlines, thus meeting the requirements of both our partners and our audience." emphasizes Florian.
Once the event was over, Yuzzit also made it possible to retrieve and edit video streams from the summit's other two stages.
"Yuzzit contributed to the management of 117 scheduled sessions 144 hours of video content for the five stages"says Florian. He adds:
"For each of the sessions, we cut them into two to five parts, which creates between two and five videos each time, plus the whole video. That's a substantial number of videos to put online."
In addition to video cutting and editing, Yuzzit offers a feature for publishing content on social networks, which has facilitated the sharing of videos on YouTube.
Using Yuzzit enabled ChangeNOW to fulfill its communication ambitions. The platform offers a complete solution that simplified the cutting, hosting and distribution of videos, and all very quickly.
Florian points out that " Yuzzit has transformed the way we manage video content, enabling us to adapt quickly and efficiently to the requirements of our partners and audience." This efficiency was particularly appreciated in a context where the team was small and supported by volunteers.
Yuzzit not only facilitated the management of live video streams, but also played an important role in increasing content production. Over 600 videos were created and uploaded thanks to Yuzzit during the event, helping to boost the visibility of ChangeNOW Summit. Each session was broken down into several parts, enabling targeted and strategic distribution on various platforms such as YouTube and their website, increasing audience engagement and the event's reach.
"For us, Yuzzit is the all-in-one platform for managing, cutting and broadcasting footage of the many conferences taking place during the event," Florian sums up.
The ChangeNOW Summit is an international event dedicated to innovative solutions to the major environmental challenges of our time. Held annually in Paris, each edition lasts 3 days. It brings together entrepreneurs, investors, decision-makers and activists to present concrete, sustainable projects, foster collaboration and accelerate the transition to a world that is more respectful of the planet and its people.
