FTP upload for video hosting
FTP upload for video hosting gives teams a faster way to move large volumes of content into their media library without relying on browser uploads. Cinema8 FTP Upload uses secure SFTP transfers for video archives, production batches and automated workflows, then imports and converts each accepted file ready for playback.

Moving large video archives or regular production batches through a browser can slow down established content workflows. Cinema8 FTP Upload lets teams transfer video and audio files directly into their Media Library through secure SFTP, using an FTP client or automated system. Accepted files are automatically imported and queued for conversion, making bulk uploads, archive migrations and recurring content transfers easier to manage with Cinema8’s video hosting without keeping a browser session open.
