das element standard

das element standard library is a software that helps you to organize your digital media assets. Its focus is on media files like images, movie files and sequences of images.

The User (Customer) can create multiple library setups, configure render templates and ingest files into folder structures. The machine learning feature helps the User with the process of tagging media files (elements).

das element standard allows the User to create so called “libraries” that are a combination of a database and configuration file. Both files are not encrypted or de/encoded. The User can edit the data by using any preferred software that is able to open the data formats. The render templates allow the User to create previews (proxy files) of the provided media file from the User.

The render templates are provided with presets. The User can change and modify the render templates based on the Users needs. The User can define the naming convention and folder structure of how files are stored on disk or a network storage. Preset files for a predefined setup are provided.

The User can load media files into a list that will preview what will be ingested. The User can manually define tags and a category that describe the content of the media file. Predefined tags are provided by the software. The User can manually create custom tags. The tags and category are used later on to search and filter elements from the libraries databases.

The process of ingest is: register the media file (element) in the database and, depending on the render template configuration, the source media will be moved, copied, transcoded on the file system or any other custom command line operation that the User defined.

The software provides a predefined set of database types that the User selected during creation of a library. The software will create entries in a database that hold information about the element that got ingested. This includes but is not limited to: media source file path, media resolution, media file path on the file system, etc.

The User can get a preview of registered elements in the database by using the software. This is a combination of collecting data from the database and the preview media files from disk or network storage. The software allows a User to search for categories, tags or filter for other parameters that are registered in the database.

 

das element lite

das element lite is a software that is used by the artists to browse the element library.

It has a reduced set of functionalities. For example, no machine learning feature, no pipeline configuration and no ingest features. The User can load/unload prepared library files. The User can use the user interface to search for elements that are registered in the database for the loaded libraries. The User can open the folder location for each element.

The configuration of permission should be performed by the Users system administrator and is not provided by the software.

 

das element CLI

das element CLI is the command line version that returns a prediction of tags for a given media file.
das element CLI is a command line software without a graphical user interface (GUI) that takes a given file path from the user and tries to predict the visual content of a media file like image data, movie data or a sequence of image data based on a machine learning model.
If a file path to a folder/directory is provided, the software tries to find valid media files in that folder and sub-folders.
The support of movie files that are encoded in a so called “raw-format” from a given camera manufacturer are not guaranteed because a manufacturer might use a file format that needs to be licensed for usage.

The classification algorithm is based on the learning of visual features. The categories are defined for each model version by the Vendor and outputs a so called “tag” for a certain media data. The further processing of these tags into e.g. a database is not part of the software.
