## How do you organize and search a video library across multiple clients?

The best way to organize and search a growing video library across multiple clients is to use Cutsio's Visual Intelligence and Collections, which index each client's footage separately while allowing cross-client search for reusable content.

Agencies produce content for multiple clients simultaneously. Each client's footage needs to be organized and searchable independently. But agencies also need to find reusable stock footage or reference material across all clients without mixing content. Cutsio solves both requirements.

## How does Visual Intelligence support multi-client libraries?

Upload each client's footage to separate Collections within Cutsio. Visual Intelligence indexes every Collection independently. Searching within a Collection returns only that client's content. Global search across all Collections returns results from every client with source labeling, allowing teams to find stock footage or reference material while maintaining client separation.

Agentic Chat can search across specific Collections or the full library. A team member can ask "Find stock footage of city skylines across all clients" and get results with client labeling, or "Show me the latest campaign footage for Client A" and scope the search to a single Collection.

## How do Collections and Share support agency operations?

Share links with password protection allow agencies to give clients access to their specific Collection. Clients search and view only their own content. The agency maintains full access across all clients.

## How does Cutsio's per-minute pricing scale with agency growth?

Agencies add new clients and footage continuously. Under per-gigabyte pricing, storage costs grow unpredictably as new client work comes in. Cutsio charges by minutes of footage stored, making costs predictable and proportional to actual content volume. An agency storing 10,000 minutes of client footage pays consistently regardless of resolution or codec. As the agency grows to 50,000 minutes and then 100,000 minutes, costs scale linearly with usage. All Visual Intelligence indexing is included at no additional charge, so the cost of making new client footage searchable is zero beyond the Storage rate.

## What does the agency workflow look like in practice?

An agency producer uploads the day's shoot footage into the client's Collection. Visual Intelligence indexes the footage automatically. The creative director searches the archive for stock footage across all clients and finds a city skyline shot from a previous project that can be reused. The editor opens the client's Collection, searches for specific interview quotes using transcript search, selects the best moments, and exports an XML to Final Cut Pro. The client reviews the rough cut through a branded Share link with password protection and leaves timestamped comments. The entire workflow — from upload to client review — happens within a single platform without transferring large files or switching between tools.

## FAQ

### Can clients access only their own content?

Yes. Share links provide access only to the specific Collection shared with that client.

### Can I search across all clients for reusable footage?

Yes. Global search returns results from all Collections with source labeling. This is useful for finding stock footage or visual references.

### How does Cutsio's Storage pricing work for agency archives?

Cutsio charges by minutes of total footage across all clients. There is no per-client or per-user pricing.

### Can agency team members access all client content?

Yes. Agency account holders have access to all Collections. Access control is managed through share links for external users.

### Can I export client-specific selections for delivery?

Yes. Selected clips from any Collection can be exported via XML to Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve.
