Manual processes created inefficiencies throughout the company’s video delivery pipeline. Users had to select encoding presets themselves, potentially resulting in quality loss or wasted bandwidth, while subtitle format issues caused upload failures and required manual fixes. Reprocessing existing content also required lengthy manual workflows.
Solution
Automated Video Encoding
Toptal developed dynamic preset matching that analyzes source resolution and frame rate to automatically select appropriate encoding configurations, eliminating error-prone manual selection.
Streamlined Media Processing
Toptal strengthened the subtitle conversion pipeline to reliably convert multiple formats to WebVTT and developed an automated reprocessing service for content requiring new encoding, DRM, or subtitle configurations.
Outcome
Reliable Video Delivery
Automated preset matching ensures appropriate encoding settings are applied consistently, reducing the risk of quality mismatches and unnecessary bandwidth usage while simplifying the upload experience.
Reduced Manual Intervention
Improved subtitle processing reduced upload failures that previously required manual Python fixes, while automated content reprocessing replaced a lengthy data-collection and source-file reupload process with a simple trigger.
