This listing uses a single pricing dimension: a monthly subscription charge billed in units under a private offer. You pay per unit each month, so your cost scales with the number of units in your agreement. Because this is a private offer, the specific unit count, price, and any storage or usage terms are set through a negotiated quote rather than fixed public tiers. The platform is a cloud-based media management service for capturing, reviewing, transcoding, transferring, and archiving media files. Contact the vendor to define the unit quantity and terms that match your needs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one unit on the monthly subscription actually cover?
The unit reflects a portion of your negotiated Ci Media Cloud subscription, such as storage capacity, users, or platform features. Because this is a private offer, the exact meaning of a unit and what it includes gets defined in your quote. Contact the vendor to confirm how units map to your usage.
How does my monthly cost change if my storage or team grows?
Your cost scales with the number of units in your agreement. Ci uses unlimited users on team-level and enterprise-level access, so adding people does not add per-seat cost. Storage can grow through usage-based capacity and add-on storage blocks. New storage or feature needs are set through your negotiated terms with the vendor.
Are workflow automation tools like Ci Workflow included in the subscription unit?
Ci Workflow is a separate add-on charged per GB of output per month, on top of your subscription. It automates VFX pulls from an uploaded EDL file and requires your camera files to sit in a Ci Workspace or Ci-enabled AWS S3 location. Contact the vendor to add it to your negotiated terms.
