For Media

Video. RAW images. Audio masters. The big files.

Media production runs on enormous files. Hot storage at full size for archive footage that gets touched once a year is wasteful. BigMind Resilience tiers cold storage automatically, keeps masters WORM-locked, and indexes everything for AI Lens search.

The pain

A 30-second spot can spawn a year of recoverable client work.

A single commercial spawns a project tree with proxies, masters, color-graded outputs, sound stems, and exported deliverables — all of which the client may want re-cut a year later. Production faces three problems at once.

The cost trap

A single shoot day fills terabytes of RAW images. Keeping all of it on hot storage indefinitely — including archive footage touched once a year — is wasteful at full price.

The risk trap

A failed master server, a ransomware hit, a corrupted external drive — and a year of client work is gone, along with the deliverables you contractually promised to keep available.

The search problem

"Where’s that beach shot from the 2024 campaign?" turns into 45 minutes of folder-spelunking across freelancer hand-offs that never followed your naming convention.

Storage tiering

Stop paying Hot prices for footage you touch once a year.

Auto-tiering rules move files between tiers based on age or last-access. You configure once; the storage bill self-optimizes. Active projects stay Hot and instant; finished campaigns drift to Cold and then Deep Freeze without anyone moving a file.

  • Hot — full price, for active projects in the current quarter.
  • Cold — ~50% off Hot, for the last 12 months accessed quarterly.
  • Deep Freeze — $5/TB/month, for archived projects accessed once a year.
  • Configure auto-tiering once; the storage bill self-optimizes from there.

The math

Three tiers, one self-optimizing bill.

Last quarter’s campaign stays instantly accessible; last year’s lives in deep storage but is still recoverable. Save 40–70% versus flat hot pricing.

Full price

Hot

Active project, current quarter. Instant access, no retrieval delay — for the footage you are cutting right now.

~50% off Hot

Cold

Last 12 months, accessed quarterly. Still recoverable on demand for re-cuts and client callbacks, at roughly half the hot price.

$5/TB/month

Deep Freeze

Archived projects accessed once a year. Plan for hours, not minutes, on retrieval — that is the trade for archive-tier pricing.

AI Lens

Find "beach + Sarah + 2024" in seconds.

Search is the third production problem. AI Lens indexes everything you back up — faces, objects and scenes, and text inside images via OCR — so the frame you need surfaces from a query instead of a 45-minute folder hunt across freelancer hand-offs.

  • Face recognition — find every frame a specific person appears in.
  • Object and scene labels — search by what is actually in the shot.
  • Text-in-image OCR — locate scanned slates, call sheets, and documents.
  • Spans every storage tier, so a Deep Freeze archive is still findable.

Protected masters

Lock masters and deliverables so even an admin can’t delete them.

The deliverables you contractually promised to keep available need to survive a bad actor, a fat-fingered cleanup, and a ransomware hit alike. WORM-immutable storage (on Pro) locks masters and final exports for their full retention window — write once, read many, delete never.

  • WORM-immutable retention on masters and final deliverables.
  • Even an administrator account cannot delete a locked object.
  • Ransomware Canary adds deterministic mid-attack detection on production servers and shared NAS volumes.

Client workflows

Share a master with a client without giving them everything.

Workspaces isolate work per campaign or per client, with expiring secure shares built for review-and-approve cycles. Hand off a single cut for sign-off, set an expiration, and revoke access the moment the project closes.

  • Per-campaign or per-client isolation keeps assets separated.
  • Expiring secure share links for review-and-approve workflows.
  • Workspaces: 10 on Standard, unlimited on Pro.
