Integrate Amazon S3 with Imaginario
Amazon S3 is the object storage service in Amazon Web Services, and one of the most widely used cloud storage products in the world. It stores files in buckets that scale to almost any size, with strong durability and fine-grained access control. Media teams rely on it for archives, backups, and as the storage layer behind cloud production workflows, which makes it a common home for large libraries of footage.
Connecting Amazon S3 takes a few steps: select Amazon S3 as your source, authenticate or add your bucket details, and your assets appear in Imaginario. Imaginario pulls lightweight proxies (1080p, 4 Mbps) and indexes only what you choose, making your media searchable by what is said and shown on screen. Work with your clips in Imaginario, and pass metadata back to your MAM or DAM if you need to.
Amazon S3 integrates seamlessly with Imaginario. Imaginario indexes your media in Amazon S3, makes it searchable by what is said and shown on screen, and pushes finished clips back.
