Introducing MotionHub: The TV Production Platform That Makes Business Sense

The Problem We Kept Running Into

After years of running Chalk, an award-winning Independent Production Company, we faced the same frustration every production cycle: paying for multiple platforms, none of which were built for how TV producers actually work.

We needed media storage, but the big cloud platforms were designed for general file sharing, not production workflows. We needed project management, but the tools on offer knew nothing about rushes, contributor consent, or production schedules. We needed a way to catalogue and search our archive footage, but that meant yet another subscription.

The costs added up. The workflows were fragmented. And hundreds of hours of valuable archived footage sat unused because finding the right clip took longer than it was worth.

Why We Built MotionHub

We looked at what was available and realised that nobody was building for independent TV producers. The enterprise solutions were priced for broadcasters with massive budgets. The consumer tools lacked the specialist features our industry needs.

So we decided to build our own system.

With backing from an Innovate UK grant, we assembled a team that combines decades of TV production experience with enterprise software expertise. The goal was straightforward: one platform, one subscription, everything a production company needs.

What MotionHub Does Differently

MotionHub brings together the tools that TV producers use daily into a single, purpose-built platform:

• Media storage designed for large production files, not just documents and spreadsheets.
• AI-powered cataloguing that automatically tags and organises your footage.
• Transcription that makes every piece of dialogue searchable.
• Project management built around the way productions actually run.
• Contributor consent management to replace paper forms and email chains.
• Rushes logging to capture essential shoot-day data while it is fresh.
• Archive monetisation tools to unlock revenue from footage you have already paid to produce.

What Comes Next

We launched MotionHub at The Big Creative UK Summit: Investment for Growth, and the response from the production community has been fantastic. We are continuing to develop new features based on direct feedback from working producers.

If you are tired of paying for five platforms that each do part of the job, we would love to show you what one platform can do. Start your free trial and see for yourself.
