Cloud storage for event videographers

A live event happens once. Back it up the moment it is shot.

An event is shot once and cannot be redone

A conference, a concert, a corporate gala: you cannot reshoot it. Yet the footage sits on camera cards and a single SSD until you get home, and one failed drive or a misplaced card loses a day of work that no one can recreate. A long event also fills storage fast across several cameras.

Get the footage safe and editable the same day

Sanbila lets you ingest cards and push the originals to redundant cloud storage as soon as the event wraps, with SHA-256 verification so you know every file arrived. Then you cut on proxies while the heavy multi-camera originals stay safe in the cloud, ready to stream at full quality for the final delivery.

Back up on the day

Push a full event to redundant cloud storage before the cards get reused.

Verified transfer

SHA-256 confirms every file arrived intact, no silent corruption.

Multi-camera ready

Proxies preserve timecode and audio so multicam sync just works.

Never lose a one-off

A live event lives in the cloud minutes after it ends, not on one fragile SSD.

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).
