Video production team collaboration

One project, many editors, same cloud storage, clean role permissions.

Production studios juggle drives, DIT, Nexis, and chat

A typical short-form commercial involves a DIT, editor, assistant editor, colourist, VFX, and producer. Each uses a different drive or cloud service, and the chain breaks twice per project.

One Sanbila project, role-based access

Create a project, upload rushes once, and every role gets exactly the access they need. DIT uploads and ingests. Editor cuts with proxies. Colourist conforms via FCPXML. VFX pulls specific clips. Producer reviews. Nobody needs Nexis, nobody ships drives.

Up to 25 roles per project

Enterprise plan for multi-discipline productions.

Role permissions enforced

Owner, Editor, Viewer. Audit log shows who did what.

Multi-disc workflow

DIT, editor, colour, VFX, and producer on the same storage layer.

Global edge delivery

Teammates in different countries each pull from the closest Cloudflare edge.

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).
