Most podcasters will recognize the common checklist of needed tools: hosting platform, recording software, editing tool. But what many podcasters overlook is content management—how will you store all those hours of audio and video footage? What’s your plan to leverage those files down the line for clips, re-runs and marketing?
Many podcasters end up playing it by ear, keeping all those files precariously on a single computer or external hard drive, unable to easily share or publish them. Transfering files requires a random freemium service. True collaboration—having multiple people see the work-in-progress and weigh in—is cumbersome at best.
If you’re ready to take the next leap into serious podcasting, take a look at Alteon, the all-in-one hub for content creators that makes it easier to upload, manage, organize and share your media files.
Here’s how podcasters can use Alteon to work faster and more efficiently:
**Upload files faster**
With multiple ways to upload files to Alteon’s secure content-management system, it’s simple to get files in the cloud quickly. The fastest is with Alteon Accelerator, powered by IBM Aspera, a world-class tool that maximizes your internet upload speed. Ideal for long video podcasts, Accelerator will swiftly get footage uploaded, automatically transcoded and ready for editing immediately.
**Organize your media library**
One of the biggest challenges of podcasting is managing your audio files. Whether you’re working with a team or just recording solo, having a system in place to keep track of your files is essential. With Alteon, you can easily store, organize, and share your audio files in a secure, centralized location. Add custom searchable meta tags to any media file upon upload so you can always quickly find files later.
**Keep everyone on the same page**
Alteon is all about collaboration. We believe that creative workflows best when there’s a single source of truth for hosts, producers and editors to work off of. Invite your team members to access your project and they can leave time-stamped comments at certain moments in your audio and video files, share clips or highlights quickly with guests, and move old episodes into lower-tier storage to save money while keeping every episode easily accessible.
**Secure your work**
Built on IBM Cloud, Alteon stores all files behind ironclad security protocols, including full data encryption, mandatory two-factor authentication and optional expiration dates for any links being shared with outsiders.
Alteon is a powerful platform that can help podcasters create and manage their shows with ease. With features like time-stamped comments, optimized file uploads and secure link sharing, Alteon is the ideal platform to help podcasters work faster, smarter and more efficiently.
