Choose storage and indexing capacity for the studio.
Cutsio measures active storage in footage hours rather than gigabytes. A two-hour feature cut uses two storage hours whether it is ProRes 422 or H.264. Clients and other external stakeholders can review through share links without being added as internal workspace users.
