FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is Curator Studio?
Curator Studio is a desktop application for BlackBox contributors. It is designed to optimize the contributor workflow, helping creators move much faster, generate high-quality metadata, and improve how their clips are indexed inside stock footage libraries.
Is Curator Studio affiliated with BlackBox.global?
Curator Studio supports BlackBox.global workflows with CSV/XLSX metadata export and FTP video sending, but Curator Studio is independent and not affiliated with BlackBox.global.
Do I need to download the app?
Yes. Curator Studio runs as a desktop app for Mac and Windows. You create an account, choose a plan, download the app, and sign in to start curating.
Do I need an account to use Curator Studio?
Yes. Every plan requires an account, including the Free plan. Your account controls your plan, clip limit, and access to AI-powered curation.
Is Curator Studio free?
Yes. The Free plan gives you 5 clips per week. Starter, Studio, and Agency unlock higher monthly clip volume.
Can Curator Studio send videos to BlackBox?
Yes. Curator Studio can send curated video files to your BlackBox account through FTP on every plan. To enable this, you enter your own BlackBox FTP credentials inside the desktop app. Those credentials stay safely on your computer and are not sent to Curator Studio servers.
Does Curator Studio upload my metadata to BlackBox?
No. Curator Studio exports structured CSV/XLSX metadata files. You upload those metadata files manually inside your official BlackBox contributor dashboard, keeping full control over the final submission.
How does the AI work?
Curator Studio uses a premium AI curation engine built with knowledge of BlackBox requirements, stock footage metadata, and marketplace discovery. It analyzes your video frames together with your scene notes and directives, then suggests titles, descriptions, keywords, and file names designed to keep each video aligned with its CSV/XLSX batch metadata.
Am I still in control of the metadata?
Yes. The AI helps you move faster, but you review and approve the result. Curator Studio is designed for controlled curation, not blind automation.
Do unused clips roll over?
Yes. On paid plans, unused monthly clips roll over for up to 2 months, so a slower month does not erase your clip budget.
