“When we started using Cinema8 five years ago, it was the only platform that could handle the videos we wanted to create. We use it for research and education, and when it comes to the video analytics, we can see who watched a video, how far they got and what they clicked. It also handles the volume of content and the long-form videos our work requires.”
