There are several reasons why TVDATA company, even in the AI age, may choose not to publish HD previews of their footage online:
- Protecting Content Quality: HD previews can be easily downloaded and misused without proper licensing. By providing lower-resolution previews, companies can protect their high-quality content from unauthorized use.
- Encouraging Purchases: Offering only lower-resolution previews creates a need for potential buyers to purchase the HD version for their projects. This ensures that the company retains control over the distribution of its high-quality footage.
- Bandwidth and Loading Times: HD previews require more bandwidth and can result in longer loading times, which can negatively affect user experience, especially on slower internet connections. Lower-resolution previews are quicker to load and more accessible.
- Watermarking: While watermarks can be applied to HD videos, they are often less intrusive on lower-resolution previews. This balance allows potential buyers to evaluate the content without compromising the visual integrity of the preview.
In the AI age, these strategies remain relevant to protect intellectual property and ensure that content is monetized fairly and securely.
Protecting Content in the AI Age
AI Enhancement Risks: With advances in AI, it’s easier than ever to upscale low-resolution footage or remove watermarks, potentially leading to unauthorized use. By limiting access to HD previews, companies can reduce the risk of their content being improperly enhanced or replicated.
