Video Upload and Management Workflows

How can a media platform help publishers process, manage, and monetize thousands of videos daily?

Managing large volumes of video required more than an upload button. Dailymotion's media partners worked with industrial-scale workflows, multiple encodes, metadata rules, ad configuration, and distribution timelines that all had to stay in sync. The objective was to design a system that made these operations fast, traceable, and intuitive. The new Upload flow introduced parallel processing with real-time progress and error visibility. Editors could queue files, edit titles or geoblocking while encoding ran, and publish once all checks passed.

Video Library

In the Video Library, hierarchy and motion replaced heavy controls. Hover actions surfaced only when needed, reducing clutter while keeping all operations one click away. The interface supported continuous publishing, users could act while data refreshed in the background, cutting idle time between uploads.

Live Management Console

How can a live platform compete with Twitch and Facebook while giving professionals real control?

Going live brought a different kind of complexity. Operators needed to monitor performance and react instantly to encoding or audience shifts. The goal was to design a calm control surface that worked under pressure. The Live Manager structured all actions around three panels, Control, Information, and Record, matching the mental model of a live broadcast. Status changes and transitions were central: Ready > On Air > Recording > Completed. Each transition was animated with clear visual feedback to confirm that a command had been received. Metrics such as bitrate, viewers, or latency updated in place without motion noise.

Player Manager

How do you turn player configuration into a task anyone can complete in minutes?

Once uploaded and streamed, videos needed consistent playback across partner sites. The Player Manager solved this by giving non-technical users the ability to create and configure their own players. The interface focused on progressive disclosure. Users started from a simple list and expanded into detailed tabs only when required. Creating a player triggered a guided flow: define appearance, assign content, then retrieve the embed code. Subtle transitions kept context between steps, avoiding modal interruptions.

Building a Scalable UI Kit

To ensure coherence across the growing product suite, I led the creation of a new Design System and Component Library.

Impact

The design approach delivered measurable business results. By focusing on core workflows and progressive complexity, we created tools that media partners could adopt quickly.
