Streamlined production workflows
Shade eliminates production lag by enabling true on-the-fly collaboration across teams. Upload from the shoot, edit immediately, and deliver faster than ever.
When your team is juggling photographers, directors, brand reps, and tight deadlines, the last thing you need is a bottleneck moving media from the field to the studio. With Shade, assets are uploaded to the cloud in real time during production, allowing editors to begin post immediately—even while the shoot is still underway.
Shade's real-time file streaming makes high-res video and RAW stills accessible without waiting for downloads or file syncing. You can start pulling selects, building rough cuts, and prepping color grades from anywhere.
Centralized review and approval
Shade keeps your feedback process clear, consistent, and client-friendly from first draft to final approval.
Creative projects live and die by clear, timely feedback—but traditional review cycles are messy. With Shade, your team and your clients review directly in one place, leaving timestamped comments on both video and stills. No version confusion, no back-and-forth email chains, and no file-naming nightmares like "v17b_final_FINAL.mov."
Shade's version control and approval workflows give everyone the visibility they need—whether they're on your team or in the client's legal department. It's a professional, seamless experience that builds trust and keeps revisions on track.
AI-powered search and tagging
Let your content organize itself. Shade makes your entire asset library searchable and useful, saving your team hours and unlocking long-term creative value.
Every campaign generates hundreds, if not thousands, of files—stills, videos, behind-the-scenes footage, and more. Shade uses AI to automatically tag everything with relevant metadata like product names, talent appearances, shoot locations, time of day, and even visual attributes like "urban night" or "sunlit interior."
Searching your library becomes as simple as typing "autumn fashion, Paris, golden hour." Whether you're building a new deck or recycling past footage for a new campaign, Shade gives you instant access to your creative archive.
Effortless archiving and portfolio access
Shade turns your archive into a living library that supports future pitches, repurposing, and long-term brand partnerships.
Your agency's portfolio is one of its most valuable assets—but too often, completed campaigns vanish into disconnected storage solutions or unsearchable drives. With Shade Vault, you can archive finished projects in a system that retains full metadata, making every past shoot instantly accessible.
Need to reference a holiday campaign from three years ago for a new pitch? Want to pull selects for a client showreel? Shade keeps everything at your fingertips, with previewable media, searchable tags, and a consistent delivery experience.
One platform for every stakeholder
Enable agencies, clients, and external partners to work from the same source of truth with real-time collaboration and transparent project management.
Modern creative campaigns involve distributed teams—photographers on location, editors in the studio, brand managers reviewing remotely, and clients providing feedback from anywhere. Shade's unified platform ensures everyone works from the same source of truth, with real-time updates and seamless collaboration tools that maintain creative quality and brand consistency across all deliverables.
Rights management and asset licensing become streamlined, allowing legal teams to review content usage and account managers to coordinate complex multi-platform campaigns all within the same interface that handles the creative workflow.
