Your Productions Generate Terabytes. We Make Them Intelligent.
Dailies in one place. VFX in another. Editorial somewhere else. Production data in ShotGrid, continuity in SyncOnSet, assets in FileMaker. Fortify Media connects it all into a single, searchable, protected media supply chain.
The Reality of Studio Media Operations
Fragmented Storage
Media lives across S3 buckets, NAS volumes, LTO tapes, Box folders, and local drives. Nobody has a single view of what exists or where it is.
The average tentpole production generates 500TB+ across 20+ storage locations
Disconnected Metadata
ShotGrid tracks shots. SyncOnSet tracks continuity. FileMaker tracks assets. But none of these systems talk to each other. Finding a specific version means manual hunting.
Archive Waste
Petabytes of completed production content sit on expensive storage. You're paying monthly to store assets you can't search, can't preview, and can't monetize.
Compliance Pressure
MovieLabs 2030 is no longer aspirational -- it's becoming a requirement. Your metadata, security, and interoperability practices need to meet the standard.
One Infrastructure Layer. Every System Connected.
Unified File Access
Browse files across S3, Box, Azure, Google Drive, NFS, Samba, SFTP, and FTP through a single interface. Powered by StoreDNA's enterprise indexing.
Intelligent Routing
Files are automatically classified and routed. EXR sequences go to Forge for conversion. Metadata gets enriched through Fabric. Standard files flow directly to your DAM. No manual triage.
Format Mastery
125+ formats handled natively. EXR/DPX sequences converted to ProRes or H.264. 3D models rendered to turntable videos. RAW camera files to viewable thumbnails in milliseconds.
Metadata Intelligence
Production data from ShotGrid, FileMaker, and SyncOnSet is normalized into MovieLabs OMC v2.6.1 standard. Ask natural-language questions across all your production data.
MovieLabs 2030 Ready. Today.
Fortify Media's Fabric product implements MovieLabs Open Metadata Container (OMC) v2.6.1 with 12 entity types and 10 controlled vocabularies. Production data from ShotGrid is automatically transformed into OMC-compliant structures, indexed for semantic search, and published to your DAM.
This is one of the first production implementations of the OMC standard in active studio use.

Protect Every Frame. Trace Every Leak.
Forensic Watermarking
Embed imperceptible tracking markers into dailies, screeners, and distribution copies. Markers survive compression, cropping, and transcoding. When content leaks, trace it back to the exact recipient.
Visual Watermarking
Dynamic visible overlays for work-in-progress review. Configurable position, opacity, and text content. Ideal for department reviews and client approvals.
All transfers encrypted via IBM Aspera (AES-128 FASP) or TLS 1.3+. All data encrypted at rest with AES-256. Comprehensive RBAC and audit trails.
