How to easily transfer review files with cineSync

Written by Chris McMahon | 06.12.24

With cineSync, you can kick off reviews with all the ease of a browser-based solution but with original, high-quality media rather than the compressed, re-encoded versions available in a browser. 

At cineSync, we understand the importance of a simple media review process that doesn’t compromise quality or security. That’s why we make file transfers simple. You can combine the robust capabilities of a desktop application—keeping your high-quality media secure and under your control at all times—with the straightforward, user-friendly experience of browser-based reviews.

File transfers in cineSync are powered by integrations with industry-standard production tracking tools like ftrack Studio and Flow Production Tracking and file storage solutions like iconik, Amazon S3, and Alibaba Cloud. With these integrations, you can make review media instantly accessible for local playback.

  • Automatic sync: As participants join a review session, the necessary media files are automatically synchronized to their machines, allowing you to dive into the review without delay.
  • High-quality playback: Everyone reviews the same high-quality, original media, ensuring precise, synchronized, collaborative discussions with no quality compromise and professional-grade media playback tools.
  • Enhanced security measures: Every file is fully encrypted and can be watermarked. You can also choose to have content automatically deleted at the end of the session to maintain stringent security.
