MediaSilo Features

Upload

  • Web-Based Upload

    Conveniently upload files through your browser. A progress bar lets you see the current status of your upload. Multiple files can be queued. Upload limit through the web browser is 100MB.

  • Desktop Uploader (New)

    Upload files larger than 100MB through the MediaSilo desktop uploader. Available at the end of May 2008.

  • Compatible with AVI, WMV, MOV, FLV

    Supports upload of media in all popular file formats, such as AVI, WMV, MOV, and FLV.

  • Server-side Transcoding

    Upload high-resolution footage and MediaSilo optimizes it for web delivery. Files are converted to the popular Flash FLV format using the On2 VP6 codec. Your media's aspect ratio, dimensions, file size and FPS remain untouched.

  • Virtually Unlimited Storage

    MediaSilo takes advantage of Amazon S3 data storage which offers an inexpensive way to store your files.

  • Optimized Content Delivery Network for Fast Downloads

    MediaSilo uses state of the art Content Delivery Networks (CDN) such as Akamai to optimize the delivery of media around the globe. Your content gets cached by 15,000 servers worldwide to ensure optimal bandwidth allocation.

  • Drag-and-Drop Interface

    Delete or move media simply by dragging and dropping - just like in Windows or Mac OS.

Online Collaboration:

  • Timeline based Annotations

    Leave feedback directly on the timeline. Each contributor has a unique marker and feedback can be filtered easily by a user.

    Leave comments that are not timecode specific.

  • Clip Ratings

  • Approval Workflow

    A built-in approval engine lets users request approval on clips. MediaSilo dispatches an email and also sends a notification once clips are approved.

    Easily manage and share video content in workspaces. Assign users to workspaces and they are notified when new files become available or annotations are added.

  • Flexible User Management

    MediaSilo's user management is comprehensive and lets you create users with different roles and privileges that you define. Assign roles like Project Manager, Contributor, Client, etc. and control which features they have access to.
