Integrate Local storage with Imaginario
Local storage means the media held on your own computer or on drives connected directly to it, rather than in the cloud or on a shared server. It is where most projects begin: footage offloaded from cameras, working files, and exports sitting on an internal disk or an attached drive. For anyone who keeps media on their own hardware, this is the simplest way to bring footage into Imaginario without moving it elsewhere first.
Point Imaginario at your local or on-premises storage, and your assets appear ready to work with. 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.
Local storage integrates seamlessly with Imaginario. Imaginario indexes media on your local drives, workstations, and on-premises servers, makes it searchable by what is said and shown on screen, and pushes finished clips back.
Use cases
Connect via authentication or bucket details; pull 1080p/4 Mbps proxies and index selectively; search by speech and on-screen content; pass metadata back to your MAM or DAM
Do I need to move my media out of Local storage?
No. Imaginario indexes your media in place and pushes clips back to Local storage, so your content stays where it lives.
