Video collaboration is still broken

Shared network drives only work on the LAN, so the moment an editor is at home or a freelancer is in another city, they are cut off. Email attachments die at 25 MB, and uploading the day's rushes to WeTransfer every morning and pulling them back every evening burns hours of real work before anyone touches a timeline.

And once two or three people touch the same footage, versions drift. Someone cuts an old copy, a master gets overwritten, and nobody is sure which drive holds the current files. A team without a single shared source of truth spends as much time coordinating as editing.

Real project-level collaboration

A Sanbila project supports up to 25 teammates, and each role gets exactly the permissions it needs: an Owner manages users, an Editor imports and cuts, a Viewer reviews only and cannot change the project. Proxies and originals live in the cloud, so any teammate on any machine picks up the work instantly, at home or on the road, with no LAN and no morning upload ritual.

Each person chooses proxy or stream per clip on their own machine, so one editor cuts offline on light proxies while another streams the originals, on the same project, with no conflict. A new upload or a replaced master shows up for everyone on the next project reload, so the whole team works from one current source of truth instead of a pile of drifting copies. Studio suits a team of up to 3, Enterprise scales to 25.

Frequently asked questions

Do my teammates need to be on the same network or a VPN?+

No. Everything runs over HTTPS to cloud storage, so a teammate on any network, in any city, logs in and reaches the project. There is no LAN share or VPN to set up.

How do I add someone to a project?+

The Owner adds a teammate by email. They log in, see the shared project with their Owner, Editor or Viewer role, and start working on their own machine, generating their own local proxies.

Does a teammate see new uploads immediately?+

A new or replaced file shows up for everyone the next time they reload the project. There is no realtime push, so each teammate works on a stable view and picks up changes on reload.

Do we each need to download the whole project?+

No. Proxies and originals live in the cloud, so each teammate pulls light proxies to cut and streams the originals only when they need full quality. Nobody downloads the whole shoot to join.
