who is this meant for?

  So far our users are mostly video editors. They want to be able to search their footage quickly and export it into their editing software (premiere, da vinci, final cut, etc.). We've also had interest from cinematographers and content creators who want to organize their large video catalogs.

    As a video editor, most of my files are more than 2GB each. The product looks appealing, but impractical for my workflow. Compressing footage to <2GB proxies, uploading the proxies to a website to catalog, then downloading each individual clip I want to use in Premiere seems like a slow process that would also degrade the quality of my footage. On-premise storage with low latency access to original footage is still a requirement for professional video production.

      Hey thanks for checking it out and offering your thoughts. I've actually gotten the same feedback from other professional video editors -- uploading their footage to Cosmos is a non-starter for most cases. To address this I'm developing a desktop app so footage doesn't need to be uploaded manually and the size doesn't become a problem. I'm also working on supporting exports to the major NLEs (Premiere, Resolve, Avid) to better fit editors' workflows (think of Cosmos as the organization step before editing begins). Thanks again and if you're open to talking further, please let me know. I would love to hear any other thoughts you might have about what could make your workflow better.
