Hi,

With cloud-based services prevalent globally, producing video content in the cloud removes the physical barriers that traditional production companies face.
Whether you’re a tech geek or a straightforward end-user, you will have encountered the cloud in various shapes and forms by now. Simply put, the cloud refers to software and services that run on the internet, rather than locally on your computer. Think Google Drive, Apple iCloud, Dropbox and Netflix. It’s a major player in the tech world, influencing every element of this vast industry: photography, document storage, video, music and data analysis, for a start. The cloud’s seamless data handling and processing have led many media businesses to reconsider their systems, particularly when it comes to their video production efforts. Let’s take a closer look at how the cloud is influencing the growth of video creation and uptake by global brands.
Creating video content in the cloud means the entire process – from editing, file manipulation and storage – benefits from the processing capacity of the “cloud-verse.” It’s ideal for supporting Continuous Creation.
The cloud enables an end-to-end workflow that is faster and more efficient, and empowers individuals to collaborate on the same creative project from different locations around the world. Sharing a brief, making suggestions and signing off on video projects can all be done in real-time, by multiple users in different locations, using the end-to-end workflow powered by the cloud.
This means ditching the usual way of sharing files and comments over endless email threads and creating a more optimised workflow from beginning to end.
As experts in the field of video creation, 90 Seconds offers users a simple, end-to-end workflow that takes advantage of all the benefits the cloud has to offer. Here’s how it works.

Let’s take a step back, and look at where it all began.
With the advent of television commercials back in the 1940s, the concept of video marketing was born and has since then become one of the most important tools for brands seeking greater awareness and connection with their target market.
When it comes to creating an emotional connection, nothing beats video. Businesses capitalise on the extraordinary power of video to tell their brand stories in a compelling way, and secure customer engagement and loyalty. Increasingly, people have opted for video media over print. And brands have followed suit.
As media traversed from the age of television to the digital era, a different style of video has emerged. People expect clever storytelling and more visually engaging effects, and are often short on time and attention, meaning every second of a brand video has to count.
People have also become hyper-selective, with endless content at their fingertips. Their expectations regarding the quality and relevance of the video content they consume have never been higher, and brands have to diversify and keep up. The booming appetite for bigger, bolder, and more tech-savvy productions means brands must also continually produce and deliver video content to keep their audience engaged.
The call for brands to deliver a steady stream of video content is far from straightforward. Video production takes time, creativity, manpower and money, and often requires travel to oversee shoots. Here are some of the key challenges faced by brands when it comes to creating a continuous feed of video content.
Cost-efficiency
Even a 30-second video requires manpower and a solid budget. Some might argue that the shorter the clip, the more creativity required. To create time and cost-efficiency, brands typically outsource their video production requirements to external creator teams based at the destination in which they intend to shoot, rather than hire in-house teams that then need to travel.
Tight timelines
To keep up with the whirlwind-pace of life today and the nature of the always-on media cycle, video production timelines are tighter than ever. It’s a constant challenge for marketing teams to deliver quality content at the rate it is required.
Sourcing creators
Finding the right creative team to deliver your brand vision can be challenging, especially if you are seeking talent from other countries where time differences and language barriers also come into play.
Traveling for shoots
Traveling with your production team to multiple locations comes at a cost, not only financially, but also in terms of time, energy and efficiency. Add a global pandemic to the mix, and, for many, travel is simply not a viable option for now.
It sounds like an almost insurmountable challenge, right? This is where 90 Seconds comes to the fore, taking the complexity out of video production.

Start creating
In today’s always-on culture, people expect a continuous supply of engaging video content. However, it can be a challenge for brands to keep up.

Large global companies can be challenged by the demand to create multiple videos across many different locations that reflect the nuances of local cultures and languages.

90 Seconds
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
