field-to-studio for that evening\u2019s newscast or other shows without dealing with technically challenging upload methods such as FTP<\/a>.<\/p>\n This had to happen during the sometimes breathless

or studio production staff wasting time manually uploading footage received from the field.<\/p>\n Uploading large batches of content to S3 is often a technically challenging process<\/a> involving multipart upload using the AWS Command Line Interface. Using the AWS Management Console is less technical, but it has a hard upload limit of 160GB and can be prone to misconfigurations.<\/p>\n The company\u2019s stakeholders in the studio needed a simple way to keep election footage from across the country organized by region.<\/p>\n This all had to happen in concert, during a short timeframe, with hundreds of incoming file packages being transferred from remote reporters across the country simultaneously.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”1.5em|20%|1.5em|20%|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”1.5em|0%|1.5em|0%|true|true” custom_padding_phone=”1.5em|0%|1.5em|0%|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ custom_padding=”0%||0%||true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”0%||0%||true|true” custom_padding_phone=”0%||0%||true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text content_tablet=”<\/p>\n ” content_phone=”<\/p>\n ” content_last_edited=”off|desktop” module_id=”section-three” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_3_text_color=”#1a87c4″ header_4_text_color=”#1a87c4″ header_4_font_size=”25px” custom_margin_tablet=”||0px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”||0px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”off|desktop” custom_padding=”||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”20px||||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”off|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n After discovering MASV through AWS Marketplace<\/a> (MASV rides on Amazon CloudFront, an ultra-secure content delivery network with more than 100 global data centers), the company signed up for a one-year subscription<\/a> that included 40TB in prepaid transfer credits.<\/p>\n Production staff immediately began setting up and configuring dozens of regional portals in preparation for the big night. MASV Portals can be set up, configured, and ready to start transferring files in just a couple of clicks.<\/p>\n The client took advantage of several MASV features in its election news coverage workflow, including:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text content_tablet=”<\/p>\n ” content_phone=”<\/p>\n ” content_last_edited=”off|desktop” module_id=”workflow” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_3_text_color=”#1a87c4″ header_4_text_color=”#1a87c4″ header_4_font_size=”25px” custom_margin_tablet=”||0px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”||0px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”off|desktop” custom_padding=”||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”20px||||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”off|desktop” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n MASV Portals<\/a> are designed to be user friendly: If your reporter can send an email, they can upload large files using MASV Portals with no training or tutorials<\/strong>. The lack of required training was a huge draw for the company, which needed to deploy an upload tool to hundreds of reporters with a variety of technical backgrounds on tight deadlines.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”18px” background_color=”#f2f4f9″ custom_padding=”3%|3%|3%|3%|true|true” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \ud83d\udca1 Tip: <\/b>MASV Portals<\/span><\/strong> are secure file request pages you can use to collect media assets from reporters or other third parties. You can request files via email or send a link. Portals can be automated, integrate with popular cloud storage platforms, are fully customizable, and your collaborators don\u2019t need a MASV login to send files.<\/span><\/p>\n Portals use a simple drag-and-drop interface. Users can create an unlimited number of custom or instant MASV Portals for free, and every Portal\u2019s look and feel can be customized with a user\u2019s unique branding, logos, and colors.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/massive.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/custom-branding-MASV-portal.png” alt=”upload screen for tasty edits voma platform” title_text=”custom branding MASV portal” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.7″ text_font=”||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_font=”||||||||” header_line_height=”1.3em” custom_padding=”||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”25px||||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”off|phone” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n MASV Portals also come with built-in custom metadata upload forms, which helped the company’s production staff enforce consistent file naming conventions, descriptions, and any other required file rules upon upload.<\/p>\n The company\u2019s election portals were integrated with their Amazon S3<\/a> cloud object storage bucket in just a couple of clicks (no coding required) well before the election. Using MASV as a secure file uploader to S3 can cut down on potentially damaging misconfigurations<\/strong>, since your collaborators don’t need direct access to storage. It also allows for large file uploads of up to 5TB at once.<\/p>\n Watch Folders<\/a> for each portal were also preconfigured to enable automatic uploads from the Portal to S3.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”18px” background_color=”#f2f4f9″ custom_padding=”3%|3%|3%|3%|true|true” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \ud83d\udca1 Tip: <\/b>A Watch Folder<\/strong> is a folder on your computer that automatically triggers a preconfigured task\u2014in this case, automatic upload to S3 storage.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.7″ text_font=”||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_font=”||||||||” header_line_height=”1.3em” custom_padding=”||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”25px||||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”off|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Reporters in the field simply dropped their video files into the Watch Folder; the MASV Watch Folder then automatically uploaded the files to the company’s S3 bucket, with all content sorted by Portal used.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/massive.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/TV-azteca4.png” alt=”masv portal embedded in tasty edits voma platform” title_text=”TV azteca4″ _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.7″ text_font=”||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_font=”||||||||” header_line_height=”1.3em” custom_padding=”||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”25px||||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”off|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The company spun up several dozen MASV Portals covering various regions in Mexico, from Puebla, to Chiapas, to Veracruz, Yucat\u00e1n, and Jalisco. Portals are free and just take a few seconds to create.<\/p>\n To ensure real-time visibility among all stakeholders\u2014even those without access to MASV or S3\u2014the company integrated its MASV account with Slack<\/a>, helping keep members of multiple teams on the same page by coordinating deliveries and ensuring timely notifications to important stakeholders.<\/p>\nTable of Contents<\/h2>\n
