Documentary Teams

Projects that run for years need a workspace that keeps up

A documentary isn't a sprint — it's hundreds of hours of footage, dozens of interviews, and rough cuts reviewed by executive producers over months. kloudboard keeps the footage organized, the cuts reviewable, and the crew paid, from the first shoot day to picture lock.

Stay oriented across a multi-year timeline

When production stretches over years, the danger isn't losing a file — it's losing the thread. kloudboard boards track every interview, shoot, and edit milestone with custom stages and fields for subject, location, and shoot date, and the calendar view lays the whole production out in time. When funding pauses and restarts, the board is the institutional memory that gets the team back up to speed in an afternoon.

  • Custom stages from development through picture lock
  • Fields for subject, location, and shoot date
  • Calendar view of shoots, cuts, and deadlines

Footage you can actually find a year later

Two hundred hours of interviews are only useful if you can find the moment you need. Drive stores your footage with previews, organized by shoot, subject, or story thread — and it's built for the large files documentary work generates. Kloudie, the built-in AI assistant, helps migrate existing footage libraries and project notes in and summarize where things stand.

  • Folder structure by shoot, subject, or story thread
  • Previews on large video files without downloading
  • Kloudie migrates existing files and projects in

Rough-cut review your EPs will actually do

Executive producers and funders don't want another login — they want to watch the cut and give notes. Invite them as free guests: no account, no seat cost, and their comments land on the exact timecode, so your editor knows precisely which scene "drags in the second act" means. Every cut keeps its own thread, so you can trace how a scene evolved across eight versions.

  • EPs and funders review as free guests, no account
  • Timestamped notes on the exact moment in the cut
  • Version-by-version comment history on every cut

What you get with kloudboard

Nothing gets lost between phases

When the project pauses for funding or festival season, boards and organized footage mean restarting takes hours, not weeks.

Notes editors can cut to

Timecoded EP feedback replaces three-paragraph emails, so revision passes get shorter and less ambiguous.

Crew paid, paperwork done

Contracts, international payouts, and auto-generated invoices keep a scattered documentary crew paid without a production accountant.

Frequently asked questions

Can executive producers review cuts without an account?

Yes. Invite EPs, funders, and broadcast partners as free guests — they watch the cut and leave timestamped comments without creating an account, and they never cost a seat.

How do I organize hundreds of hours of interview footage?

Drive stores footage in folders organized however your story works — by shoot, subject, or thread — with previews so you can check a clip without downloading it. It's built for large video files.

Can I pay fixers and crew in other countries?

Yes. Pay crew via PayPal, ACH, Payoneer, crypto, or international bank transfer for roughly a $1 flat fee plus a small percentage per payout, with contracts signed in-app and invoices generated automatically.

Is kloudboard affordable for an independent doc team?

Yes. The free plan covers up to 5 members, unlimited projects, 50GB of storage, and unlimited free guests. Pro is a flat $20 per member per month when you need more.
