From Post-Production Chaos to Cloud Collaboration: How Nuvon Was Born

When the world shut down during the pandemic, post-production didn’t stop. Instead, it faced a tidal wave of new challenges. Editors, colorists, directors and producers suddenly had to collaborate remotely, moving terabytes of data across continents and managing projects from kitchen tables.

At the time, the tools weren’t ready. Google Drive had clunky restrictions that broke workflows, LucidLink showed promise but stumbled when file caches ballooned into the tens of terabytes, and project management across Avid, Final Cut, Premiere, and DaVinci Resolve felt more like improvisation than infrastructure.

That’s when I began experimenting with Synology Drive. To my surprise, it provided exactly what media professionals needed: support for large files, on-demand sync, offline flexibility, and the ability to mirror any folder between server and workstation—even across external drives. The thing is, everyone is used to having Synology servers in their offices, but not necessarily as the "cloud". With servers hosted in a datacenter, noise and maintenance disappeared, while clients gained reliable, scalable cloud storage.

What started as a personal solution quickly grew. For three years I ran “BaezCloud”, offering agencies and filmmakers storage that actually worked. Eventually, the service outgrew my post-production company, Cre8ive Beast, and deserved its own identity. That’s how Nuvon was born: a rebrand of years of experience into a company focused solely on powering creative collaboration.

Today, Nuvon supports feature films, documentaries, and agencies around the world. Paired with tools like Hedge’s PostLab, which offers version control for projects across Final Cut, Avid, DaVinci, Premiere and Logic, the workflow is smoother than ever.

The lesson? When you build solutions out of real-world pain points, you don’t just solve your own problems—you end up solving them for an entire community.
