Real Macs, built for editorial and color.
Edit and color on a real Mac in the cloud, a bare-metal machine that lives in our data center. Your cloud Mac runs at full performance, your storage is already attached, and your team reaches it from any computer.
Your best work shouldn't be stuck at one desk.
Editorial and color need serious horsepower and fast access to terabytes of media. When that lives in a tower in one room, you buy machines on a guess, tie your best people to a single desk, and leave remote and freelance editors out. CloudStudio puts the workstation and the media together in the cloud, so your team gets full performance from anywhere.
An Edit or Color station for every seat.
Every workstation is a real, dedicated Mac, not a virtual machine and not a virtualized slice of one, so applications behave exactly the way your team expects. Most cloud platforms hand you a Windows or Linux virtual machine, but the people finishing film and television work on macOS. Choose an Edit station for cutting and conform, or a Color station for color and finishing.

The same session, from any computer.
Your team connects to their station over a low-latency remote session tuned for color-critical work, from a Mac or a PC. The session, the files, and the apps are already there.
Connect from any Mac or Windows computer via Jump Desktop Single sign-on, with no separate workstation credentials to manage Low-latency remote sessions suited to editorial and color Sessions and who's connected are visible from the dashboard
Your storage, mounted when you connect.
When your team connects to a station, the project storage mounts to it through the CloudStudio app, so footage opens at local speed and works with whatever NLE or color app your team already uses. No copying, no hunting for the latest drive.

Run the creative apps you already use.
Because every station is a full macOS machine, your team runs the same applications they know, including DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, and Avid Media Composer. You can sign in with the licenses you already own, or have us provision a licensed app for you as an optional add-on.

Questions, answered.
What kind of Macs are the workstations?
Real, bare-metal Macs in our data center. Edit stations handle editorial and conform, and Color stations handle color and finishing. They aren't virtual machines.
How do editors connect?
Through Jump Desktop with single sign-on, from any Mac or Windows computer. The remote session is tuned for color-critical work.
Do I have to move my footage onto the workstation?
No. Your project storage mounts to the station through the CloudStudio app when you connect, so media opens at local speed and works with any NLE. There's nothing to copy.
Can I control who has access to a workstation?
Yes. Access is managed per station from the dashboard, so you decide which team members can connect to which machines.
Can I run DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, or Avid Media Composer?
Yes. Because the stations are full macOS machines, your team runs the same creative apps they already use, including DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, and Avid Media Composer. You can sign in with your own license, or have us provision a licensed app as an optional add-on.
