Video Workflow: Metadata in AEM + Brightcove Storage — Looking for Best Practices

I’m looking to learn from others who may have a similar setup or have solved a comparable challenge.

Currently, our video workflow runs through Workfront, where metadata is captured and then pushed into AEM. However, the actual video files themselves are stored externally in Brightcove rather than in AEM.

We’re exploring ways to improve the end-user experience in Content Hub by:

• Displaying video metadata coming from AEM
• Including a video thumbnail for visual context
• Providing a direct external link (stored in Workfront/AEM) so users can easily access the video in Brightcove

Question for the community:
Have you implemented a similar approach where metadata lives in AEM (or another CMS), but the actual asset is hosted in a different platform?

If so:

• How did you structure the integration?
• How are you surfacing the asset in your content hub or discovery layer?
• Any lessons learned or best practices you’d recommend?

Appreciate any insights or examples you can share!
