Michael, I've been bragging about you at the beginning of the show and here you are. I'm so happy you're with us. I want to talk to you today about Camera to Cloud, Frame.io, post houses of the future, where we're going. I think this is going to be awesome. It's always fun talking with you. So welcome.







Thank you for having me. Like you said, we've known each other for years and been doing this a long time. I'm always happy to be back with you and always happy to talk to the listeners where we want the feedback because what we're going to talk about today involves everybody. We're looking forward to more communication with the community. 







It does. When you announced it, there was an immediate reaction in the industry about what you had presented. There is just a huge audience for this in media producers worldwide no matter what you're in. I think you really are going to change the future. For people who don't know, what is Frame.io and what is Camera to Cloud?







Frame.io is an online review and approval database. It's the most popular professional review and approval tool in the world. We have over a million people uploading millions of assets a day into the platform and sharing them, reviewing them, marking them, and delivering them. It's a really interactive space—professional video sharing and collaboration—in the Cloud. Camera to Cloud is now a new feature set of Frame.io where we can actually have people on the set, in the field, and shooting directly into Frame.io, so that you can have access to everything you're doing, even deliver it right to an editor while it's still being shot in the process.
