What are the benefits?

• Ease-of-Use – From encoding to delivery, WorldNow's Video Producer™ is powerful in its simplicity. A publisher can easily create dozens of video clips with minimal work, and attach them to any story to give viewers a complete multimedia experience. Links to video content can be placed on a website once and will automatically update as you create or delete clips within the tool.
• Quality & Reliability – Working in partnership with industry leaders Microsoft and Akamai, WorldNow guarantees a highly scaleable and state-of-the-art product. Video is encoded at multiple bit rates, ensuring consumers automatically receive a high-quality stream tailored to their connection speed.
