Seasonal Video Hosting: Plan for a Busy Delivery Month

Size the active pool for your busiest overlapping delivery period, rather than an annual average.

The practical answer

Size the active pool for your busiest overlapping delivery period, rather than an annual average. Restored projects also need room alongside new uploads.

A wedding studio finishes six films in one week while two former clients request revisions. Its archive total does not describe that week's playback needs.

Put it into practice

A three-step working sequence

  1. 01

    Count simultaneous active exports

    Write the requirement down before sending the files. Use the project identifiers in the record below.

  2. 02

    Add expected revisions and restores

    Use the real recipient or receiving environment for this check. Record the result against the current version.

  3. 03

    Review capacity before the busy season begins

    Keep the result with the project handoff. Resolve any mismatch before treating this step as complete.

Worked handoff

A concrete example

Four 6 GB films with two retained exports each need 48 GB. Two requested 10 GB restores add another 20 GB, giving 68 GB before other active work. Replace these illustrative inputs with the busiest real delivery week.

Keep the record

Your project worksheet

Week, new films, retained revisions, requested restores, required active capacity.

Use these fields to record your own project. The blank worksheet includes the three steps above, room for results, an owner and a date. It is an editorial template, not an automatic export from the product.

Product fit

Where uncompressed.io fits

Use uncompressed.io when you want hosted playback of a compatible uploaded export without another platform re-encode, alongside client review. Check current storage pools and allowances on the pricing page. If you require learning assessments or unattended exhibition scheduling, evaluate those systems separately.
