Designed and built by video creatives—for video creatives—and launched in 2014, Frame.io is a New York City-based startup dedicated to changing the way video creation works. The web-based platform integrates seamlessly with the industry’s leading NLEs, including Adobe® Premiere® Pro, Avid, Apple® Final Cut Pro® and DaVinci Resolve Studio, enabling video creators to upload and organize media and share projects internally or with clients anywhere in the world. This round of Series C funding brings Frame.io’s total funding to date to $82.2 million.

Frame.io is founded on the product-first principle, focusing on designing a tool that customers love to use.

Security efforts, always central to their business model, will remain a primary focus in the ongoing effort to make Frame.io the most trusted video platform in the industry.

Also notable in the push to develop cloud-based workflows for motion pictures and television is the recent appointment of Michael Cioni as Global SVP of Innovation. Cioni will oversee the camera-to-cloud effort from the new Frame.io office opening in Los Angeles in 2020, which will allow the company to better service the Hollywood-based production community.

Since its start, Frame.io has become an integral part of the workflow for large-scale customers like VICE Media, BuzzFeed, Facebook, and Turner Broadcasting, helping them achieve 60 percent greater efficiency. Frame.io customers are 41 percent more likely to hit project deadlines, with 39 percent more videos produced monthly on average, resulting in significant cost savings and revenue increases.

As video creation across all businesses continues to expand exponentially, Frame.io is poised to cement its place as an industry leader. Wells said, “The next decade will open up tremendous opportunities for anyone who’s ready and willing to take advantage of the new video workflows. Frame.io was born out of the real filmmaking DNA that authentically connects us to the industry needs. And we’re innovating to solve the massive workflow challenges that we’ve lived and know that filmmakers face every day.”
