@@vp-land I guess I have one quick question. Is using the cloud base project the same process as editing locally? Or are there any speed changes that you notice? Thanks in advance!
You have to have an active internet connection to work with cloud projects - if you lose connection it'll lock you out. But once it's loaded speed and performance is the same as a local project
A thoughtful and deep look into this issue. I am just starting to collaborate with some external editors and color developers, and this was an helpful introduction. Thanks Joey. I subscribed BTW.
I've used DR since v15 and I don't think anyone could complain about the product BMD puts out there for us to use, even for free if you want. When Cloud was added I thought about adding it to my work flow but I didn't really have a good use case for it compared to the "nonCloud" way. Im now reconsidering it, but this video told me all I needed to know before even watching it. If it takes over half an hour to explain what it is and what it does it's likely not worth the time to implement for a solo editor, even on multiple locations.
Yeah it's more for collaboration. If you're solo the only potential benefits would be cloud backups, work from multiple computers (if you do that), and tapping into camera to cloud (if you shoot on any BMD cams/apps)
Great and very useful workflow explanation! I have a similar Wishlist, especially for managing which original files to sync, to which groups (colorists, editors, etc) and a few more. My current setup is using Blackmagic Cloud for the Project collaboration and only syncing Proxies, and in parallel using a NAS + Dropbox to keep all original media synced (I have 10+ TB of active project data, this way I have more control over the local storage - using QNAP NAS which is also in a Automatic Backup workflow). Of course, all people have to be aware of the process.
Great review, as like yourselves our entire production team are now all within the DaVinci Resolve workflow for delivery and we are looking at the offerings in the market for seamless cloud & collaboration features for internal remote freelances and our external customers.
Thank you for this review. As a DR editor this article has really helped with ideas of involving clients during the revision period. Many Thanks again.
Thanks for all this info - I still can't figure out how to tell BMC to upload my existing proxies. Is it because my proxies aren't stored next to my media, but are in a separate folder? I can't tell why, but web browser shows empty folders.
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation re: which machines are best set to "sync proxies only" and which need to be set to "sync originals and proxies". A bit counter-intuitive for me until seeing this video. I agree that enabling remote collaboration and having a robust option outside of Adobe ecosystem is a game changer. Feels like back in mid-2000s when I learned about Offline Editor / Online Editor except NOW we could have that ratio as something like 20:1 if enough collaborators needed. Thank you!
Excellent. My question is - where in the settings for each individual project do you enter whether you want the project included in Black Magic cloud - and if you want only the proxies or the full files uploaded to your Black Magic Cloud project .
Hi there. Great video and it has helped me on my journey to understand the system. My team and I are looking at using Keywords in our metadata so that we can find archived footage on our server. Do you have any videos or experience about putting metadata in to video files and having that accessible through Resolve?
thanks for making this! This saved me so much time, effort, and trial and error trying to setup a workflow with working with my first editor. I'm also super relieved that you don't have to have the studio version to do this. I thought I was going to have to spend $300 to buy it for them to test (and having the rental option also solves this problem) Also, any updates on the presentation feature? 👀
It doesn't seem to work as described in the video. I am not getting original files from my remote editors when set up as per instructions, only proxies. When I enable sync proxies and originals on my 'master' machine, it will start uploading all my raw files, too.
Thanks for this video. Media management is very discouraging me with my youtube workflow. I'm using Google photos but there are so many bugs... So I hope using the cloud storage soon. But do you know if I can transfer easily my files from Google photos to the cloud storage ?
Hi Joey! Thank you so much for putting this great tutorial together! I'm trying out BM cloud and it is amazing and with help from your tutorial, I'm pretty much up and running. I did have a question and if you happen to see this, I'd be grateful to hear your thoughts. I set up my main computer to upload only proxies and then I set up my collaborator computer to upload both proxies and originals. Then, on the collaborator computer, I imported a short video file. It was able to create the proxy and sync both the proxy and original to the cloud. I can see both files when I browse my online cloud folders on the BM cloud website. However, on my main computer, it appears that only the proxy downloaded. I can't find the original at all. Any thoughts of what I've done wrong here? Thanks again, Joey! This is a great video!
Awesome video! Thank for explaining all this stuff. It's exactly what I was looking for. I am still a bit fuzzy on something though: My workflow will be a bit different from yours. I want to shoot a documentary on iPhones using Prores HQ raw and shoot in log. With multiple cameras shooting, I will be getting a lot of footage. Ideally (and I'm hoping I can use the Blackmagic Cloud Storage option to help) I'd like to have the iPhone cameras upload the raw footage to its server as I'm shooting (saving me from having to get external drives for the iPhone cameras), and have the Blackmagic server basically dump all that footage to my Editor's main computer's external hard drive in the background -- not as proxies but as the full raw footage. I'm pretty sure from your video I can do this. The question though, is I assume by uploading the footage, it is automatically being stored as a backup on the cloud? As I said I'm going to have a ton of footage and I will have it all on a drive attached to my editor's computer. I dont need backups (and I'd prefer to save money by not paying for terabytes of needless storage space). Is there an option that allows the system to automatically purge the master footage from its cloud drives after it has confirmed the computer has downloaded it? (And when you mentioned in the video you'd like more control over the syncing process cause its doesn't always send all the footage properly, I got a bit concerned. All I need is for the cloud server to assume it synced my footage, erase the originals then I discover I dont have my dailies.
Thanks! Basically when the camera is connected to the cloud it will upload the media to cloud storage, then automatically download it to whatever computers are connected to that project (and have the project open) to the local storage you designated - so could be an external hard drive But there's nothing in the workflow that will auto delete media. So you're still going to have the media on the phones (probably want to use external drive on the phones) and in the cloud until manually deleted.

The information given at 06:36 about Cloud Storage including a Project Library, is incorrect. I have just purchased 500GB Cloud Storage for one of my "Organizations" and it did NOT give us a Project Library. £7.80 wasted as we do not need the cloud storage but thought it'd be worth having for the small £2.40 difference vs just paying for a Project Library on its own.
thank you. very helpful .is it possible to collaborate in fair light using cloud. i.e if someone else is mixing in another country and i as a director can listen to the mix using headphones so that i dont have to be physically present .please let me know. subscribed
Thanks! For that I think you’d want to start a remote monitoring session so the director can see what’s happening in real time. I’m not sure if it works with fairlight, I would think so. I’ll explore this more in part 2
so I set this up as you explained. I have my main computer set to sync on proxies, and my remote editor syncing proxies and originals. I see his originals in the. cloud on the website, but his originals did not sync to me. I only received his proxies..
I just retrieve the originals manually from the bmd cloud website and relink originals in resolve once I download everything and get it moved to my local storage. It’s usually not much in terms of originals coming back from remote editors, but a pain you can only download files one by one. There’s no way syncing originals from main computer is gonna work. That would be hundreds of GB’s and would max out the cloud storage in seconds.
@@AZzackPThanks for the reply, it makes no sense that there is no option to "download originals only" for this workflow. I'm just going to run it through a local file share on Google drive for now because I get lots and lots of original clips from the editors, we do documentaries and they always add tonnes of internet and archive footage, would be way too inefficient to download them off the cloud directly
@@alexrednaxela3149 yeah, I’m really hoping that Blackmagic improves their cloud service to make it easier. And yes, a simple “download but do not upload originals” option would be awesome.
Is there an option to only upload media managed media to the Cloud? Like ‘used media +25 frames handles’? Or like ‘all proxy media, plus used original media +25 frames handles’
no, there's very little control. it's pretty much all or nothing, proxies or originals. you could media manage to a new timeline, bring that into a project and sync that project with originals
Excellent review, thanks! I'm trying to determine how to connect a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K running v8.7 to a network for the purpose of connecting to Blackmagic Cloud. I've seen a bit on phone-tethering/hotspot but that's not what I want to do. Funny thing is when BPCC4k is connected to macOS via USB-C, the BPCC4k shows under System Settings/Network.

You said Davinci does a good Job remembering where the media is stored in each persons computer. I don’t find that to be the case. If an editor re-links media to where it is on their computer, I have to re-link on my computer. This goes for original and proxy. Is there another wait to link media that does not impact all the users?
Hi, can you please tell me where you obtained the information about using your own S3 storage with blackmagic cloud organisations? I've been digging through the internet to find out any resources about how the dedicated server works, but can't find any. We have our own 100TB server and it would be awesome to use it
It's what Blackmagic told me when I asked about the enterprise plan at CineGear, but yeah, documentation for Cloud is pretty much non-existent. I'm gathering a list of questions/issues for a part 2 for this video, let me know if anything else comes up
The upload select originals Yes, If the main system imports a file with alpha the proxy file wont have an alpha, ifit can even if it can detect alphas and automaticly upload like it does with audio files
correct - proxies won't have alpha, like if it's a PR4444. If you need it to cut but don't want to do originals for everything you'd have to send to editor another way to link to original and then probably turn on Prefer Originals
Is it possible to use cloud collaboration without using any cloud storage? My collaborator and I both have copies of the media as well as proxies so I don’t want any media going to the cloud.
Here's an actual pipe dream. Now that davinci has a cloud workflow, I would actually love to see a web based version of resolve. Kinda like those other cloud editing solutions you talked about. This web based version of resolve can connect to the existing cloud project you have, etc. One of the things I find limiting me quite a bit is accessing my editing device. I wish I could edit from anywhere on a non powerful laptop on a web browser. I think resolve can be a company to do this as well. They'd basically dominate the industry at that point
Cloud based editing via web interface is extremely expensive. to implement. the hosting solution for that using AWS or Azure or even GCP is an expensive running cost. they will also need new and great Devops and cloud engineer which are not cheap to create a CI/CD pipeline. so when it then come down to the cost for using the platform as an end user BMD will be banking on there been an extremely large user base requiring it in order to re coupe the cost of the CI/CD deployment. a small user base is not worth it. If they can pull it off an keep the cost down. I will most likely never buy another GPU. High end CPU might save me on System build and upgrade.
Joey, hope you can help me. From my host computer i have it set to proxies only, that works correctly. On my editor’s computer we have it set to “sync proxies and originals” but any new media he uploads only sends proxies back to the host computer and the original media is offline. On my editor’s computer it does say it is syncing proxies and originals in the sync status bar and i see the files locally in the cloud folder of my editor’s laptop but only the proxy shows up on the host computer’s side.. what could i be doing wrong? i tried contacting bm support and they haven’t responded
Hey - yes, we've been having the same issue on our end. I'm still running tests to see why I was getting original files when I first tested this out (which is why I said it in the video). I'm working on a follow up video soon, I also have some workaround ideas.
well it would be amazing if from editors side would work the proxy + originals. the problem is, that if i have it on proxy only, he has to change it to proxy + originals. but if he changes it, it's changing on my side too. so EVERY time both sides have to adjust the media settings. it should be an option where the Media settings from all the users are not synced and each can use the one that they need and won't have to check it everytime
@@vp-land i tried it with a test account of mine. Maybe the reason was becauseni used the same mac? Is the setting saved in the cloud project or in the davinci software itself?
I have a remote editor adding footage from his computer to the cloud project, and he's set to sync proxies and originals, but it's not downloading to my main render computer. Did you have to do anything else to get that working?
Anybody please let me know if you know how to solve this. I made proxies in Blackmagic's Proxy Generator and can't seem to figure out how to get these proxies onto the cloud for a remote editor to use. So close, yet so far..!
The proxy generator is a totally separate app/not needed for this. You need to set up a cloud project as outlined in the video and then import your footage. It'll automatically make and upload proxies.
@@vp-land Right, the thing is I've already made proxies for a project with approx. 4TB of RAW footage. Wanted to see if I can get those already made proxies onto the cloud instead of Resolve making them again.
I think if you make your cloud project and import your media with the same folder structure (Media Folder -> Proxy Folder) it will automatically recognize the proxy files and not recreate them
A little confused, if the station that has most of the original and a remote editor adds footage wouldn't the main computer have to switch to original sync in order for it to be downloaded from the cloud & wouldn't thins mean that all the original media will start to upload to the cloud as well? I have found presentation very limited and unreliable, has a long way to go to match FrameIO and Dropbox replay. What I still have issues with is the correct way to remove a cloud project and its media of the cloud, any Ideas, I have a number of cloud project where the project has been deleted, the local media is gone but still cant remove the media off the cloud, Is there a workflow/precedence in deleting
It's an absolute nightmare trying to remove a project from the cloud. Virtually impossible and Black Magic customer service is useless. It'd be great if there were a straight forward way to manage your cloud storage, but there is not.
I would love if we could just rent studio anyways or even better lease it, pay 10% for 12 months and keep the software. For hobby use it's quite a chunk of money to drop at once for studio

well it would be amazing if from editors side would work the proxy + originals. the problem is, that if i have it on proxy only, he has to change it to proxy + originals. but if he changes it, it's changing on my side too. so EVERY time both sides have to adjust the media settings. it should be an option where the Media settings from all the users are not synced and each can use the one that they need and won't have to check it everytime
I haven't had that experience - the settings are specific for each user for each project
@@vp-land i tried it with a test account of mine. Maybe the reason was becauseni used the same mac? Is the setting saved in the cloud project or in the davinci software itself?
I'm not sure but I would try on a different machine
I have a remote editor adding footage from his computer to the cloud project, and he's set to sync proxies and originals, but it's not downloading to my main render computer. Did you have to do anything else to get that working?
same here.
It's my understanding that for the one time $295 Purchase Price you get 2 License Keys. And these are Transverable between Machines.
Yes that's for buying a studio license, the cloud features are a separate thing
Anybody please let me know if you know how to solve this. I made proxies in Blackmagic's Proxy Generator and can't seem to figure out how to get these proxies onto the cloud for a remote editor to use. So close, yet so far..!
The proxy generator is a totally separate app/not needed for this. You need to set up a cloud project as outlined in the video and then import your footage. It'll automatically make and upload proxies.
@@vp-land Right, the thing is I've already made proxies for a project with approx. 4TB of RAW footage. Wanted to see if I can get those already made proxies onto the cloud instead of Resolve making them again.
I think if you make your cloud project and import your media with the same folder structure (Media Folder -> Proxy Folder) it will automatically recognize the proxy files and not recreate them
@@vp-land Cool, I'll try and let you know how it goes. Cheers!
A little confused, if the station that has most of the original and a remote editor adds footage wouldn't the main computer have to switch to original sync in order for it to be downloaded from the cloud & wouldn't thins mean that all the original media will start to upload to the cloud as well? I have found presentation very limited and unreliable, has a long way to go to match FrameIO and Dropbox replay. What I still have issues with is the correct way to remove a cloud project and its media of the cloud, any Ideas, I have a number of cloud project where the project has been deleted, the local media is gone but still cant remove the media off the cloud, Is there a workflow/precedence in deleting
that's what I found as well.
It's an absolute nightmare trying to remove a project from the cloud. Virtually impossible and Black Magic customer service is useless. It'd be great if there were a straight forward way to manage your cloud storage, but there is not.
I would love if we could just rent studio anyways or even better lease it, pay 10% for 12 months and keep the software. For hobby use it's quite a chunk of money to drop at once for studio
Finance it using a credit card like Chase, and you will be able to pay over time
I don't think the media pool idea is a pipe dream. I've been thinking about the same thing since I learnt about strada
Is that a chopstick?
