Why choose Air over Frame.io
:format(webp))
Creative-centric
Universal Asset Management vs. Video-Only Focus
Air supports all creative file types with equal optimization, treating every asset as an important building block in the creative process, while Frame.io was built primarily for video collaboration. Air uses AI-powered smart search, visual recognition, and flexible metadata management across images, videos, documents, design files, and presentations for a connected, clean process.
Built for creative ops today
Superior Organization & Search Capabilities
Air features a visual board-based organization system that mirrors how creative teams naturally think and work, whereas Frame.io only allows search by title, name of the uploader, or the file extension. Attempting to build a robust catalog with hundreds of videos with limited search capabilities is incredibly difficult.
Air includes comprehensive AI-powered search with visual recognition, smart tagging, and robust cataloging capabilities for building searchable asset libraries.
