Transition Productions

What Transition Productions does

Transition Productions is a Los Angeles-based, full-service video production company founded in 1998 that produces live sports, music, and event broadcasts, documentary series, and branded content for major U.S. broadcast networks (NBC, ABC, ESPN, The History Channel), global sports leagues and event organizers (World Surf League, Dew Tour, X Games, Formula Drift, Spartan Race), and consumer brands (Rockstar Energy, Red Bull, Pepsi, Taco Bell, Ford, Samsung, Black Rifle Energy). The company operates as a simulcasting specialist, delivering more than 100 hours of live content annually, and runs a three-story Marina Del Rey facility with eight networked editing suites plus dozens of remote editing systems supporting 4K and ultra HD post-production.

Its technology stack centers on a proprietary AI-driven vertical video reframing workflow, built on AWS Elemental Inference and integrated with Grabyo and Tagboard, that transforms a single horizontal broadcast feed into AI-tracked 9:16 vertical livestreams, alt-casts, and social clips without parallel camera setups. The workflow was demonstrated at PHXAM 2026 (3x TikTok viewership lift) and deployed commercially at Formula Drift, positioning the company to serve leagues seeking direct-to-social distribution.

The business operates as a B2B professional services company on quote-based project pricing, with three core service lines (Production, Post Production, Content Strategy) plus gear rental and adjacent offerings such as the Rockstar Energy In Depth franchise and the Rockstar Energy Open event property. Customer acquisition is event-and-portfolio driven, with marketing concentrated on Instagram, a categorized portfolio website, and on-site presence at major action-sports events. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding or institutional investors, and revenue is not publicly disclosed.
