Real-Time Workflows That Keep Up with the Shoot
Shade lets editors start working instantly on set footage through streaming and AI organization.
Shade enables teams to upload raw footage directly from set. Editors begin work instantly, thanks to Shade's streaming technology—no need to download or re-sync proxies. With metadata tagging and AI facial recognition, scenes are sorted and searchable before post even begins.
Automated Metadata for Production and Delivery
Metadata isn't just for internal organization—Shade's tags enhance client deliveries and reduce approval delays.
Shade's AI doesn't stop at facial recognition. It also tags footage based on scene location, camera angle, lighting setup, and even prop or costume usage. These smart tags make it easy to organize assets during post-production, and they carry through to delivery.
Collections sent to clients can be filtered by product line, campaign theme, or talent appearance—making Shade an intuitive and searchable experience for everyone involved. Teams can set up reusable templates that match typical project structures, reducing prep time and ensuring consistency across all deliveries.
Streamlined Review and Approval
Replace scattered feedback threads with fast, browser-based review that works across teams and time zones.
Forget juggling Frame.io links or chasing timestamped feedback. With Shade, clients review edits in a branded, browser-based experience. Comment at the frame level, track version history, and approve content without email chaos. Because assets are streamed—not downloaded—clients get a fast, polished experience on any device.
Archive Projects, Not Problems
Your archive shouldn't collect dust—Shade Vault keeps it searchable, valuable, and repurposable.
Once a campaign is delivered, projects move to Shade Vault. Every clip remains searchable by talent, client, or campaign—even years later. Whether for sizzle reels or re-licensing, the archive becomes a creative asset, not a burden. Shade's ongoing AI analysis continues in the background, uncovering connections and metadata that improve over time.
Better Than the Stack: Why Shade Replaces the Rest
One login. One workspace. No silos. Shade gives creative teams everything they need in one streamlined platform.
Most production teams cobble together tools like LucidLink, Frame.io, Dropbox, and SharePoint to handle storage, review, delivery, and archive. That patchwork causes friction: slow downloads, sync errors, duplicated files, and lost feedback.
Shade unifies every phase of the workflow. It offers the instant streaming of LucidLink, the client-friendly review of Frame.io, and the archive depth of Dropbox—without the complexity or silos. Plus, Shade adds AI automation across tagging, transcription, and discovery that no single tool offers on its own.
