Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this thesis was to optimise audio visual content specifically for mobile devices. This included production of the content from the ground level with mobile use in mind and utilizing all the tools available to assess the best format for a specific mobile platform. Furthermore, this project takes into use of metadata to add intelligence into media contents.
The goal was reached by first producing a video called ‘A Day in Helsinki’, which is one minute and forty seconds long, and then exporting the video with various specifications corresponding to mobile devices. Before exporting the video, some concise and informative metadata were written in the media files. The metadata in the files were then analysed using metadata handling tools.
Subsequently, the videos that were encoded with technical and device specific metadata were valuable in efficient handling and management of the files, distinguishing them as optimal for mobile devices. The use of XMP Metadata introduced by Adobe has made it easier to include the data and manipulate them.
This thesis could be useful for someone who is producing media contents for mobile devices as the thesis covers different aspects of optimising, going from aesthetic qualities during the production process to technical details for better handling of media files. For publishing the media contents, the thesis can help developers in efficiently extracting appropriate media files for their targeted platform.
