Media Nexus · The Free Build
Your storage holds the footage. Media Nexus makes it usable.
Gear depreciates and software gets more expensive every year. Insight into your own archive is the one asset that appreciates.
$0 upfront · $4,669 if you keep it · nothing if you don't
Originals stay where they are.
The Free Build
Free until you decide to keep it.
Buying custom software before you have used it sounds risky.
So don't.
We build your Media Nexus archive first, around the storage you already have.
$0 upfront. $4,669 if you keep it. Nothing if you don't.
We'd rather build it than pitch it.

A limited program for qualifying in-house teams.
The archive, configuration, install, orientation, and 90 days of Care.
What you get
The footage exists. Finding it is the problem.
These are screens from a running Media Nexus. Yours carries your volumes, your projects and your naming.
Plays in a browser, even when the drive is on a shelf.
Managed proxies and frame grabs mean a clip scrubs while the original volume is offline.
Your volumes, by their real names, online or not.
Media Nexus knows which volume holds each file and whether it is connected right now.
A system you own. Not a subscription you rent.
Vaultline is a service. We build you a custom system you own forever, around the storage you already have, and we keep building on it.
-
Ownership and independence
You own the system. Nothing is rented, nothing is held hostage.
-
Accessibility
Remote access, remote transfer, search, and organising without moving physical files, so the archive is usable from anywhere by anyone who should have it.
-
Protecting creative work and institutional memory
Read-only indexing, originals stay where they are, so the work and the knowledge of it survive.
-
For everyone
Built for in-house teams with a real archive to reuse, not only the ones with a media manager.
After the archive
The archive is the base for everything after.
Unlocked creative potential: a team that can find, play, move and reuse what it already made spends its time making, not hunting.
Review and post production
Review and approvals stop living in chat, and post gets the structure it works from.
Full drive census and verified backup
Copies you can account for, and drives whose contents you know without plugging them in.
Automation
The operational steps a person should not be repeating. Full drive census and verified backup are later builds too.
Relay is a later build Vaultline scopes for a client after the archive, and drive tracking is one of its features. Full drive census, verified backup, and automation are later builds, scoped and priced per build. Remote access is part of every Media Nexus, not a later build. Recurring care exists if you want it, Care at $149 per month and Partner at $1,800 per month, and neither is ever required after the 90 included days. You pay $4,669 in the portal, then you sign up for Care, and only then does the install become visible. The 90 included days are that Care signup.
How it works
Four steps. You pay at the end, and only if you want to.
- 01The intake
Tell us who you are, where the media lives, and what the build needs.
- 02Fit call
If it is a fit, you get the scope in writing. The keep price is $4,669.
- 03We build it
Configured around your storage and your team, indexed against your real media.
- 04You use it, then decide
If you keep it, you pay $4,669 in the portal, then you sign up for Care, and only then does the install become visible. The 90 included days are that Care signup. Walk away and there is no invoice.
Built for in-house content, video and creative teams with a real library on storage they own or control, and real friction finding, moving or reusing it. Find the shot without asking the one person who remembers where it is.
Before you apply
Questions, answered plainly.
What does it cost if we keep it?
$4,669, fixed in writing before we build. It includes the archive, configuration, install, orientation, and 90 days of Care. Remote access is part of every Media Nexus, not a later build. The archive also includes AI tagging, search, semantic search, proxy generation, and collections. Relay is a later build Vaultline scopes for a client after the archive, and drive tracking is one of its features. Full drive census, verified backup, and automation are later builds, scoped and priced per build. You pay $4,669 in the portal, then you sign up for Care, and only then does the install become visible. The 90 included days are that Care signup.
What do you build after the archive?
Review and post production, plus full drive census, verified backup, and automation, are later builds, scoped and priced per build. Relay is a later build Vaultline scopes for a client after the archive, and drive tracking is one of its features. Remote access is part of every Media Nexus, not a later build. If a capability does not exist, we build it.
Where does our media go?
Nowhere. Media Nexus indexes approved storage read-only and never renames, moves or deletes originals. Transcription and tagging run on hardware you control.
Is this a demo with sample data?
No. It is your Media Nexus, indexed against your real media, with your volumes, projects and naming.
What do we need to provide?
Read access to the storage you want indexed, a Mac to run it on (or we help you specify one), and someone who can make the keep-or-walk-away decision afterward.
