From camera to cut, without the drive shuffle.
Get dailies off the card and into one shared library fast, start editorial on real cloud Macs without buying hardware, and keep producers in the loop with review links they just open.
Footage moves faster than your hard drives.
Production generates terabytes a day across locations and crews, and the default workflow is still drives in courier bags and a producer asking which copy is current. Editorial waits on transit, versions cross, and nobody can see yesterday's material without finding the right drive. CloudStudio replaces that cycle: media goes in once, lands in a shared library everyone is allowed to see, and editorial starts while the shoot is still going.
Keep production and post on the same page.

Security that answers questionnaires
Scoped access, watermarked review, and TPN badge support through managed services.
Shoot days become edit days.
The shoot wraps for the day and the cards go through the transfer agent instead of into an envelope. As soon as a shoot day wraps, the footage lands in the production's storage, gets indexed, and is playable as proxies in any browser the producer opens. The editor, on a cloud Mac in another city, starts pulling selects from the same library that night. Notes come back on timecode through a review link rather than a phone call about a drive. By the second week the cut is moving daily while the shoot continues, and at wrap the media shifts to a cheaper tier where it stays searchable instead of becoming a box of labeled drives in a closet.
Built for productions on the move.
Production companies shooting in connected places that want editorial moving during the shoot; teams staffing editors per project instead of owning bays; companies whose producers and clients expect to see material without ceremony.
Questions, answered.
How do dailies get from set to editorial?
Wherever there is real internet, the native macOS and Windows transfer agent uploads card offloads into the production storage at the full speed of the line, resuming and verifying as it goes. Files are indexed automatically with browser proxies generated in the background, so editorial and producers see footage the same day it was shot instead of when a drive lands.
Can producers watch cuts without creating an account?
Yes. Cuts and selects go out as secure browser links with a password and expiry; producers and clients open them and leave timecoded notes without signing up for anything. Downloads are controlled per link.
Do we need to buy edit hardware for each project?
No. Edit stations are real bare-metal Macs provisioned per person for the life of the project. A cutter joining for a month gets a station the day they start, with the project storage already mounted, and the seat goes away at wrap.
What happens to the footage after the project wraps?
The project media moves to a cheaper storage tier instead of living on Hot storage forever or scattering across shuttle drives. It stays indexed in the library, so the archive remains searchable when a re-edit, a trailer, or a delivery request shows up later.
Is it secure enough for unreleased footage?
Access is scoped per person and per project, review links carry passwords and expiry dates with downloads you control, and sensitive cuts can carry a visible forensic watermark tied to the viewer. For productions facing studio security requirements, the managed services team supports TPN readiness.
