9:00 cant wait to see multi user system using NAS system! Thank you always!
Blackmagic really is ahead of the game. I love this company
Yeah - syncing with Synology would be cool. Love your channel.
Does the cloud pod allow you to use the drive as the dropbox storage too or no? For instance I have a 500GB project that someone wants to share with me. I have a NAS and this cloudpod synced to a dropbox account. Does it only mirror the files or does dropbox use my NAS as the storage? Would I need to have both 500gb free on my NAS and 500gb available on dropbox or does dropbox use my NAS as the storage? Hope that made sense.
Can I connect a BMPCC camera to the Cloud Pod and a SSD to share recorded video to the network in realtime, or at least to be able to copy once I finish recording?
dropbox sync stopped and not working. says (calculating size) I've 1 gig internet fios verizon. m1 mbp tried cat 5,6,7,8 cables... running out of optionshere. let me know if you have any thoughts as to how I get the syncing back from SSD to dropbox. thanks
Thanks for the info! Keep up the good work! 😎😎💪🏾💪🏾
Thanks! Will do!
What causes the video to be offline? The preson that is receiving my timeline only sees the red with aline thourgh the video. They can see the items in the project but no video. I am using a mac mini
Thanks for this video, I just bought a local storage solution and will setup a cloud backup/share solution, I can see the Cloud Pod as a great way to have a portable storage for on location. For me storage is only as good as the "Naming Index" and folder structure, I started small and have had to evolve into many customer folders, many file formats, many projects over many years, I can imagain you have seen many of your customers ideas to how to index so much data, can you share any of these concepts?
I also like the new studio look, Great Job.
what is your actual highest speed getting out of the connected SSDs?
I am wondering if a 2.5GB Network would be just fine. Or can you really reach the limit of that 5GBE?
If it is only 350MBs against 250MBs it is not woth the upgrade to 10GBE for me ;-P
I'm about to transition into this workflow with an external grader. How would you transfer a local project to a cloud project? I don' have the cloud pod or any of the drive solution hardware from BM, but we do have unlimited Dropbox. Also, won't the 5Gbs limit the speed of the ethernet? I mean, you can't really read faster than what the USB-C port can deliver. I think I read it was 5 at some point.
1. Blackmagic added in a new tool in DR18. You can find it in the project library to move projects over.
2. usb type c has many versions. usbc 3.2 can go up to 20Gb
@@JayAreTV thanks. Yeah, USB-C has a bunch if soeeds, but isn’t the port here 5Gbps?
I'm not sure what the ports are on this device would need to ask. I don't recall reading about it in any of the info I had.
@@JayAreTV here are the specs I found:
Connections:
10G Ethernet Ports
1 x Ethernet supports 100/1000/10G BASE-T
USB-C Port: 2 x USB 3.0 (up to 5Gb/s) for external storage.
HDMI Monitor Outputs: 1
Would be interesting to see some speed tests to get a sense of limitations.
Thanks for the vid!
Could you check if the external RAID attachment is still a problem?
What do you mean by raid attachment?
@@JayAreTV I read, that the cloud pod doesn't accept external raids, only single drives
The device will work with any enclosure that doesn't require specialty software or hardware to mount the drive via USB
@@TehSpeedRunner Confirming it works with my G-Raid Shuttle
If my source files are on GOOGLE drive and shared from there, why do I need the local device. Hope that isn't a stupid question.
The files need to be "local" to edit with them. If you have the Google drive app on your desktop the files are still local. The app is just syncing the files with the cloud service so the files are in both locations.
@@JayAreTV Thanks for the quick but I'm still a little foggy. I use One Drive and files are both local and synched automatically when I am online. Second, the files do not change when I am editing them, just the project file right? When I add local files they are uploaded immediately to the cloud. So, after syncing I never need to touch the cloud files again. Does it work different in Google Drive? If not I dont see need for a dedicated device with one exception. If I'm on windows an others are on Mac our file system structures are different. Is this where the device is useful?
Easy way to think about it. Lets say I have 900GB of project media and you have 3 editors at your location. Having something like the cloud pod the files would only need to be downloaded from google or dropbox once to this device. Since this device works as a network drive all 3 editors at your location can work off the files on the cloud pod and don't need download or have copies on their individual computers. If the 3 editors all downloaded from the cloud that would be 2.7TB of data and would take 3 times as long to download. Additionally if an editor wanted to add new project media, they can just add the files to the cloud pod and the other 2 wouldn't need to download the new files and the new files would be available for me to download via google or dropbox.
@@JayAreTV Okay. So your example uses others on my own private network, not in remote locations. In those remote cases I take it the pod is not needed. Which leaves me with the file system differences between PC and mac. My project file would have file locations something like "C:\FOLDERNAME.... When a MAC colorist at a remote location opens the project file he has no representation for a C drive - or does he?
@@haroldmorganTulsa if you’re on your own and have multiple computers within one location, this device would be relevant. Also another plus point for a single user is the ability to have Google Drive or Dropbox on external media to your device, which isn’t something those services normally allow.
In respect to the file naming - when you’re using Dropbox or others, you’ll want to make sure projects are using relative paths. This means that software will first look for media that’s in the same root folder, ignoring the ‘absolute’ part of the file path.
(Instead of looking in c://users/your folder it will look in /yourfolder, and assume the project file is in the same relative place).
Not 100% on resolve, but most software does this by default.
nice :D
Yeah this thing isn't going on my network. No user permissions? If I had to have one it would be only used for transferring copies of the footage. But than why would you use this.
I like Black magic design and have used resolve and some of their hardware. But this is a nono if only from security perspective.
Here we sync nasses over the internet. We do use cloud Collab with proxies.
I don't get it... I still have no idea what this thing actually IS or DOES... What is the difference, for example, between this thing and me just syncing my computer with Dropbox or whatever? Why do I need a separate box/gadget/gizmo? What does it actually DO that my computer doesn't? I have an iMac with 128GB of RAM and 8TB of SSD. Being in Australia, my Internet speeds are moderate at best (100/40 on a good day), so what does this thing do for me that simply plugging my iMac into my modem doesn't do? I watched the video and I am absolutely no wiser.
Sounds like you work solo so this might not be that useful for you. A network drive allows multiple people at your facility to work from the same copy of media. So lets say you have a project that was 500GB big and at your location you had 3 editors. All 3 could work from this one drive instead of everyone having copies of the same files on their systems. Additionally if you were to add a couple more photos or audio tracks to the project everyone would automatically have access to the new files instead of passing files around between the three editors systems. As far as the internet aspect and syncing - Let's say I would share 500GB from the United States to you and this team of editors. The cloud pod would download the files and the 3 editors would have assess without everyone needing to download this 500GB or passing the files around on a flash drive. A network drive just makes things easier so you're not constantly passing around files and it takes the possibility of someone missing files.
@@JayAreTV OK - I sort of get it now. Thanks for the explanation. It's basically a type of NAS. But still not sure how it is different from all the other NASs out there? By the way, I'm a subscriber to your channel and love your videos - but this one just had me puzzled! ;)
You could do EXACTLY the same thing by plugging a hard drive into your wi-fi router's USB port.
What "wi-fi router" can you sync to cloud services, prioritize proxies over camera originals, and connect over 10 gbit ?
@@JayAreTV Absolutely any new Asus ROG Router (AX11000 and 16000 both have multiple 10gbit ports)
Looks like only the 16000 has 10gb ports and 2 at that. For a small home network it looks like it could be an option. I don't see anything about file type priorities. Those are pretty expensive for what you actually get if we're talking network equipment and proper networking features. Personally prefer Ubiquiti equipment if we're talking networking. Thanks for sharing though I never knew those existed.
