Where can I find information about the BMD Cloud?

I'm looking for information about the cloud library from BMD that can be accessed from DVR 18. I recall Grant talking about it. I wanted to know more about it - details, pricing, and hopefully some documentation on utilizing it.

Have a look at Chapter 193 in the DaVinci Resolve 18 Manual, Ellory, specifically the section on Cloud Project Libraries (pg 3932) that explains that Cloud Project Libraries (project libraries are just BMD's new name for project databases) are hosted on BMD's own Project Library Servers at datacenters around the world that you access remotely. The section offers info on working with projects stored in these remote databases (libraries) and setting up cloud based collaborative workflows that use them. Documentation wise, this chapter contains largely all there currently is to tell.

Pricing wise, seems pretty straightforward... each project library (database) that they host for you currently costs you $5 USD per month. (You have to register your payment method with your BMD Cloud ID before you can create a library). Up to 10 users can access the same library. All users you invite need to register a BMD Cloud ID (free), only the 'owner' of the library pays the hosting fee. Beyond the project server, any cloud based file sharing, if you are not shipping drives, is handled per your choice of file sharing service (Dropbox, iCloud, OneDrive, Google Drive, etc) obviously with whatever separate cost that may incur. Everyone signs up as necessary to access the shared folder etc... this is all coming from the manual by the way.

I dare say there may be more official documentation once its actually a fully fledged shipping product (vs beta). As is, for 5 bucks it's probably not going to break the bank to try it out and test the latency of working with a remote project library from your location.

Hey Andy, thanks for summing it up. I have to read the 18 manual because my work setup is still on 17. My 18 is on another computer that I play around to try the new features when I have some downtime. $5 is a sweet deal. I will check it out in the coming weekend.

For the remote file sharing, on another forum someone suggested a cheap peer to peer file sharing solution. I am checking that out too. Here’s the link to the post on it. It’s called Rosalio.
