title: EVOLUTION OF BORN-DIGITAL MOVING IMAGE PROCESSING: Moving to scalable and sustainable workflows
creators: Rachel Curtis Laura Drake Davis
abstract: Long-term preservation of born-digital moving image content is similar to that of any other file-based content in many ways. However, large file sizes, specialized equipment and resources, significant processing storage needs, and the movement of large files are challenges to creating sustainable and scalable workflows. The Moving Image Section of the National Audio Visual Conservation Center at the Library of Congress is making great strides in the development of sustainable and scalable workflows through an understanding of the technical infrastructure, moving image file characteristics and requirements, and the adoption of automated workflows using a combination of open source software and hardware resources.
