Editorial Suite Infrastructure.
Editors lose time when storage stalls, bins lock or a project will not open on the next machine. We build the shared storage, network and workstation setup behind a cutting room, including remote access for editors working from home.
Quick answer
Clouds Agency is a creative agency in Los Angeles. Shared storage, Avid Media Composer and DaVinci Resolve networking, workstation specs and remote access for editorial suites in Los Angeles.
Shared Storage Design
The whole team reads the same media at once. We design the storage around NAS or LucidLink options and test it with real projects.
Avid Media Composer Networking
Avid on a shared network needs specific settings that general IT staff often miss. We configure and test them.
DaVinci Resolve Studio Networking
Resolve collaboration depends on the right network and storage layout so several artists can share a project.
GPU Workstation Spec and Build
We spec, source and configure editing machines around your codecs, resolution and effects load.
Remote Editorial Access
Frame.io, LucidLink and VPN options for editors working from home, set up with access limits.
Media Management and Bins
We write down and implement bin structure, project templates and naming conventions.
Hardware and tools we work with
- Avid
- Blackmagic Design
- LucidLink
- Frame.io
- QNAP
- Synology
Questions people ask
Which storage is right for our cutting room?
It depends on team size, codecs and whether you cut in Avid, Resolve or both. We start with how many editors read and write at once, then recommend a platform and test it.
Can editors keep working during the install?
Yes. We build the new storage next to the old one and move projects over show by show, so active edits keep going.
Can you reuse our existing workstations?
Often. We test them against your codecs and tell you which ones need an upgrade.
Who owns the equipment and documentation?
You do. Hardware is bought in your name and you get the configuration notes.
Do you support the suite after setup?
We can stay on for troubleshooting and updates, or leave your team a written guide.
