Cloud storage for advertising post-production

Cut campaigns on proxies, finish on the originals, deliver to clients by link.

Ad post juggles heavy footage and tight deadlines

Commercial work means RAW and log footage at high bitrates, several editors and a colourist on one campaign, and a client who wants changes yesterday. Shuffling terabytes between an editor, a grading suite, and a freelancer over drives or a strained NAS slows every round of revisions.

One cloud archive from edit to grade to delivery

Sanbila keeps the campaign originals in the cloud, so editors cut on proxies and the colourist streams the full-resolution log or RAW for the grade without anyone downloading terabytes. Smart Relink conforms the locked cut to the originals at export, and client review files go out as a link instead of a shipped drive.

Heavy footage, light edit

RAW and log stay in the cloud while editors cut on proxies.

Grade on the originals

The colourist streams full-resolution log or RAW with full latitude, no download.

Team across roles

Editors, colourist, and freelancers share one project with per-role access.

Deliver by link

Send client review and masters as a URL, not a drive in a courier bag.

Frequently asked questions

How is Sanbila different from the proxy generator built into my NLE?+

Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro and Avid all generate proxies locally, but they keep the original full-resolution files on the same SSD — so the disk fills up twice. Sanbila stores the originals in the cloud (Cloudflare R2) and keeps only the lightweight proxies on your machine. At export, Smart Relink streams the originals back via a local WebDAV mount, so you finish at full quality without ever downloading the source files.

Does Sanbila work offline?+

Yes for editing — once a proxy is cached on your SSD, you can cut, trim, color and arrange your timeline without an internet connection. You only need network access for the initial import (uploading originals to the cloud) and for the final export (streaming originals back via WebDAV).

How much cloud storage does the free plan include?+

The free plan includes 5 GB of cloud storage and one project, with no credit card required. Paid plans start at $49 per month for 2 TB and 50 projects, going up to 25 TB on the Enterprise plan with overage billing for teams that need more.

What upload speed do I need to use Sanbila?+

Any broadband connection works for the initial upload — Sanbila chunks files into 50 MB parts and uploads in parallel, so a typical 100 Mbps fiber line uploads 1 hour of 4K H.264 footage in about 6 minutes. After upload, day-to-day editing happens on local proxies, so your connection speed only matters again at export time when originals are streamed.

Which video formats does Sanbila support?+

Sanbila handles 22+ formats out of the box: MP4, MOV, MXF, R3D (RED RAW), BRAW (Blackmagic RAW), ARRI proxies, ProRes, DNxHR, DNxHD, H.264, H.265, plus WAV and AAC for audio. Both 4K and 8K sources are supported up to 200 GB per single file (URL imports have no size limit).
