Motion Picture Laboratories, also known as MovieLabs, is a US-headquartered non-profit organization, founded in 2006, operating with an estimated 20 employees. Functioning as a technology joint venture of major Hollywood studios including Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Universal Pictures, Walt Disney Pictures, and Warner Bros., the organization specializes in the research, experimentation, and development of new technologies, specifications, and tools for the film and television industry. Key initiatives, such as the "2030 Vision for Media Creation," are designed to improve and standardize media creation and distribution workflows.
On September 14, 2026, MovieLabs' Industry Forum Chair Leon Silverman stated at IBC that the "Roadmap is becoming the road," referencing the "2030 Vision" introduced at IBC 2019 that guided Ontology for Media Creation (OMC) development. Earlier in September, the FRAMES project began, involving a Yamdu team collaborating with the MovieLabs ontology group to prove an end-to-end intelligent media production framework. This project aims to standardize archival asset management and metadata while enforcing Zero Trust security, building on MovieLabs' existing OMC alignment work. In late July, Sohonet joined the Leadership Council of the MovieLabs Industry Forum, contributing to its direction, strategy, and governance. Previously, on July 8, MovieLabs announced the MovieLabs Creative Vocabulary, designed to standardize language used in film and television production. Concurrently, MovieLabs affirmed its support for AI tools and technologies that advance professional media creation, aiming to empower creative choice and support artists in secure, efficient, and interoperable workflows.
