Dailies, managed

Every take findable, the storage looked after.

Dailies and cuts are the most valuable files a production has, and they often sit on drives tracked in a spreadsheet. We set up cloud storage in Canada for them, build the tracker that says where every file is, and run it month by month with monitoring, backups and cost reports.

// what matters here

What is different in this industry.

01

From set to vault

Camera cards, drives and copies tracked from the moment they leave set.

02

Viewing by role

Proxies viewable in the browser by the people allowed to see them, with every view logged.

03

Run by us

Storage, monitoring, backups and updates looked after under a support plan.

04

Costs you can see

A monthly report on storage and running costs, by production.

Dailies and asset tracking

Hypothetical. Not a client, not a result.

// The problem

A post-production studio tracks dailies, drives and deliverables in a spreadsheet, and finding which drive holds a take, or who has seen the latest cut, means asking around.

// What we would build

A tracker for camera cards, drives, dailies and deliverables, with proxies viewable in the browser for the people allowed to see them, on cloud storage we set up and run for you in Canada, with monitoring, backups and access logs.

// questions

Questions we get about this.

Where are our dailies stored?

In a cloud region in Canada by default, or where your distributor's delivery terms require.

Can a producer watch a cut without downloading it?

Yes. Cuts stream in the browser for the roles you allow, and downloads can be switched off.

Who looks after the storage once the show wraps?

We do, under a support plan, until you archive or move the files.
