Track progress as it runs, then deliver data, captions and clips into the tools you already use.

Behind the Scenes

See How Fifth Layer Works

Fifth Layer replaces brittle media pipelines with visual workflow's you can understand, control and trust.

Build the Workflow

This is where you define what should happen to your live and on-demand media.

Chain together steps like transcription, captions, tagging, clip creation and delivery using a simple visual canvas.

Fifth Layer handles ordering, coordination and execution so the workflow behaves the same way every time.

See It Run

As your media is processed, you can see progress and results in real time.

View transcripts, summaries, clips and outputs as they are produced, and spot issues before they become problems.

Nothing is hidden. You always know what is happening and where your media is.

From months of build time to hours

Fifth Layer helps media teams ship captions, transcripts, clips and searchable metadata without building and maintaining bespoke pipelines.

Typical approach
  • Custom pipelines per workflow
  • Multiple vendor integrations to keep stable
  • Manual QA, logging and fixes
  • Slow iteration when requirements change
