Ci Features

Import your media, fast. Accelerated file transfer gets the most out of your bandwidth and you can extract metadata during ingest to save time later. Collect content directly from any device, server, or Amazon S3 and use Ci File Request to ask for media from remote teams and contributors.

Cut manual transcoding from your workflow. Create any custom render you choose, automatically, as you ingest.

Find what you need, anywhere in Ci. Automatically enrich your content with metadata, using AI-powered tagging. Use custom metadata to narrow your content search or quickly check recently added and favorite files.

Speed up your workflows. Create storyboards and export them to your NLE—or turn them into a rough cut. Trim video files and live streams, even while you’re on-air. And our Premiere Pro integration lets you access content without leaving the edit. No waiting for downloads.

Collaborate securely. Easy link sharing and Aspera file acceleration save time on transfers, while passwords, expiration dates, and watermarks keep media safe. A choice of two access models means you have complete control over who gets access to your content.

Keep all your content in a single, intelligent repository. Control who can access what, from freelancers to remote teams or your entire organization—and change permissions whenever you need. You can even automate these storage tiers, saving time and money.

Extend your existing, on-premise system to the cloud. Built-in integrations let your users access content on Ci and our REST API lets you build your own cloud-enabled workflow solutions.

Make your brand more visible. Customize the log-in experience so your team, contributors, and clients have the right branding in front of them. You can even add it to the file contribution and preview links you share.

Manage Ci with ease. The platform has been designed for teams of all sizes and a variety of workflows. Our flexible admin structures let you tailor things to the way you work. And user setup is simple, with Ci’s intuitive interface helping them get to work fast.

Rest assured that your media is secure. End-to-end encryption keeps all content safe, whether it’s at rest or in transit. Built with security in mind, Ci runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and is ISO 27001:2013 certified.

Handle any problem. Feature user guides and clear on-boarding help you avoid issues from the beginning. But, if you need them, we have a world-class customer success team and a growing library of reference articles to help you troubleshoot.

We support bulk ingest and can offer discounts for large storage volumes. Do you have countless copies of a file in numerous different folders? Don’t worry, we’ll only charge you for the one file.

Make transcoding an automatic process, tailored to your needs. Send us a custom profile and we’ll make sure Ci automatically renders all your files as soon as you upload them.

Run automatic quality control checks upon upload. No need to download or transfer files to another system. And because they’re already in Ci, successfully checked files can quickly move to the next stage of your workflow or media supply chain.

Get audio transcriptions, quick and easy. Our speech-to-text function uses AI to create a transcription text file whenever you upload a video to a designated folder.

Convert captions and subtitles automatically, in any of the videos you upload to Ci. Then preview captioned videos in the Ci Pro Player.

Add rich, searchable metadata to your files. Let AI process your photos and videos and recognize objects, faces, and text. It then adds this new information to your file as metadata, making it highly searchable. We even offer a ‘Related Images’ tab so you can find similar faces to the image you’re previewing.
