Say Goodbye to Manual Transfers
Picture this: You’ve just wrapped a brilliant shoot with your Sony camera*. Instead of facing the usual post-production shuffle—connecting card readers, sorting files, naming folders, backing up drives—your footage is already waiting for you in the cloud, organized and ready for editing.
This isn’t the future of content creation. It’s happening now with camera-to-the-cloud capabilities powered by Sony’s Creators’ App and Ci Media Cloud.
Direct-to-Cloud: A Game Changer for Sony Creators
For Sony FX3, FX30, and Alpha 7S III users, the tedious workflow of manual file transfers is becoming a thing of the past. Through seamless integration with the Sony Creators’ App, your camera can now upload footage directly to Ci Media Cloud as you shoot—no cards, no cables, no offloading needed.
How It Works
Your Sony camera connects wirelessly through the Creators’ App, sending your footage to your Ci Workspace in real time. Your files arrive complete with all metadata intact, allowing you, or your team members to start working immediately from anywhere.
Post-Production and Editing Integration
Once your footage is uploaded to Ci Media Cloud, the next step is seamless integration with editing software. With Ci Media Cloud, you can move effortlessly from production to post-production, ensuring your team can access the footage they need to begin editing right away, no matter where they are.
How Ci Media Cloud Integrates with Editing Software
Editing with cloud-uploaded footage is easier than ever with Ci Media Cloud. Whether you’re using Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve Studio, Ci ensures that all your files—whether proxies or original media—are available for direct import into your editing software.
Ci’s integration with DaVinci Resolve Studio allows editors to begin working on proxy files right away. The workflow is simple: you can use the proxy files for editing, and when the full-resolution files are ready, Ci Media Cloud will automatically link them to your project for final edits, preserving both the timecode and metadata.
Why Ci Is Different
Ci Media Cloud isn’t just another storage solution—it’s Sony’s professional media platform designed specifically for creators and creative teams. This means it’s optimized for your Sony camera’s formats, metadata, and workflows right out of the box.
With Ci, your footage:
- Uploads wirelessly while you’re still shooting
- Retains complete metadata during transfer
- Automatically generates proxies for immediate editing
- Remains secure and accessible from anywhere
Collaboration at the Speed of Creation
Whether you’re a solo filmmaker, part of a small production team, or working on larger projects, Ci transforms how you collaborate:
- Producers and editors preview clips instantly
- Team members leave frame-accurate comments with mark-ups
- Remote collaborators can start work before you even wrap
Technology that was once only available to big studios is now at your fingertips through your Sony camera*.
