Discover Launchpad

Take control of your inbound content.

Large files, external contributors and fixed delivery windows are where media operations get complicated fast. What arrives rarely matches what was agreed. Launchpad gives contributors a guided path in, so the right files, the right metadata and the right checks happen before content reaches your library, not after.

Launchpad solves it once, so you're not solving it every delivery.

Launchpad is VIDA's secure ingest.

A guided upload workflow that moves large files fast (with Aspera), gets the right metadata during submission, and applies the checks you define. No more searching to find missing files, no more translating spreadsheets into metadata, and especially no more last-minute problems after content’s already in motion.

With VIDA your external contributors and suppliers will
have a guided, transparent path.

➔ Before files reach your library, Launchpad can quarantine, check, reject, or accept

➔ It sends your team predictable intake and metadata, all within VIDA

➔ And your downstream workflows will start clean every time

What is Launchpad?

Border patrol before new content crosses your boundary

Book a demo

Launchpad serves as a checkpoint for new content entering your system. It sets consistent standards for incoming deliveries, ensures they function properly, and starts VIDA with clean inputs.

Launchpad addresses the chaotic reality of daily inbound deliveries (different suppliers, varying formats, and inconsistent quality), all of which need to be entered into a single system without slowing down your media company.

Launchpad lets contributors follow a guided submission path while your in-house team has a controlled checkpoint before anything crosses the VIDA borders.

Uploads are fast for large files, and the right information (the info you really need to be in place) is collected at the time of delivery, when contributors still know what they’re sending.

Governance in place, before content lands in your platform

Each delivery arrives in a consistent shape, with fewer exceptions to chase and fewer fixes to make later. VIDA receives content that’s ready to be governed, routed, and distributed, not cleaned up first.

Completeness, metadata, and accountability

Deliveries rarely break down during the transfer... it most often happens across many steps during the handoff

The files arrive, but they don’t come as a delivery

A few items are somehow missing

A version or two is unclear

The folder structure reflects how one supplier thinks, but not how your team operates

Metadata is partial, inconsistent, or sitting in a spreadsheet that doesn’t match the files

Sign-off is needed but nobody knows who to ask or what they are approving

These all add friction in predictable places

The more suppliers and internal teams you add, the more expectations you manage. Then it becomes more difficult to keep standards consistent without slowing everything down.

Ops teams chasing clarification

Rebuilding metadata

Applying governance after content has already entered the system

Relabelling assets

This is why ingest matters.
It’s the point where you either capture requirements early and keep the pipeline clean, or you accept “we’ll fix it later” as an operating model.

Launchpad exists to make that handoff structured and repeatable

Easy, fast and consistent
