CREE8 & The Future of Cloud-Based Production: Aligning with the MovieLabs 2030 Vision

At CREE8, we weren’t just adapted for the cloud—CREE8 was born in the cloud. From day one, our mission has been to eliminate barriers between creative teams and their content, enabling borderless collaboration, intelligent multi-cloud orchestration, and real-time media workflows. That’s why we’re proud to be a member of the MovieLabs Industry Forum, where studios, technology providers, and innovators are working together to shape the future of media production.

A key part of this future is bringing creatives and their tools to the centralized content rather than moving massive files back and forth between locations. Instead of being tethered to specific machines or on-premises systems, creative professionals can now work from anywhere, accessing high-performance virtual workstations directly in the cloud—where their content already lives.

The 2030 Vision: A Cloud-Centric Future

MovieLabs' 2030 Vision lays out a roadmap for a fully cloud-based media production environment where creative teams can seamlessly access, edit, and distribute content from anywhere in the world—without the limitations of on-prem infrastructure. Some key pillars of this vision include:

Software-Defined Workflows – Automating processes to increase efficiency and flexibility.
Seamless Access to Media – Secure, real-time cloud-based collaboration without delays or bottlenecks.
Intelligent Multi-Cloud Strategies – Leveraging best-in-class cloud services while optimizing cost and performance.
Interoperability & Open Standards – Ensuring compatibility across tools and platforms for frictionless workflows.

These principles align directly with the core of what we do at CREE8. Our platform is already enabling global production teams to operate without the constraints of physical infrastructure, accelerating time-to-value and unlocking new creative possibilities.

CREE8: Built for the Cloud, Ready for the Future

As a member of the MovieLabs Industry Forum, we are excited to contribute to and learn from the collective effort to build the future of media production. CREE8 is already delivering on key aspects of the 2030 Vision, including:

🔹 Bringing Creatives to the Content – Instead of slow, complex file transfers, CREE8 provides direct access to centralized cloud-based media, enabling instant collaboration.
🔹 True Growing Files in the Cloud – Allowing editors to start working on content while it’s still being ingested, reducing delays and ensuring seamless collaboration.
🔹 High-Performance Virtual Workstations – Providing creative teams with GPU-powered cloud environments optimized for video editing, VFX, and live production.
🔹 Enterprise-Ready Security & Compliance – Ensuring content is protected with robust SOC 2-compliant security measures.

By aligning with MovieLabs’ vision for 2030, we’re helping studios, broadcasters, and creative teams future-proof their workflows today.

What’s Next?

As media creation continues its shift to the cloud, industry-wide collaboration is key. We look forward to engaging with other members of the MovieLabs Industry Forum, sharing our expertise, and continuing to refine the tools that power next-generation media workflows.
