Multisite
Strawberry MultiSite offers a unified view of projects and assets across multiple locations, ensuring global content visibility and security. Projects can be seamlessly moved between on-premise and cloud systems, optimizing resource utilization. Unified metadata standardizes procedures across sites while also allowing regional flexibility.
Support for Lucidlink Cloud Storage
Strawberry 6.6 supports LucidLink cloud-based file storage, allowing users to access, upload, and share large files instantly from any location. The combination of Strawberry and LucidLink offers an unprecedented cloud-based collaboration workflow that is fast, secure, and deeply integrated into Adobe post-production tools and Avid Media Composers, including bin locking.
Introducing Cloud Archive
The new Cloud Archival feature allows Strawberry servers to archive projects directly from production storage volumes to S3 object storage destinations, including Wasabi, Backblaze, Google Cloud Storage, or AWS S3. Archived projects retain their structure, metadata, and preview proxies, offering users a seamless browsing and retrieval experience, similar to working with their primary storage. Additional cloud archive endpoints, such as Google Cloud storage and Microsoft Azure blob storage, will be supported in future 6.6 releases.

Dockerized Deployments
Docker is an open platform that automates the deployment of applications within lightweight, portable containers. It enhances efficiency by allowing applications to share the host system’s kernel, avoiding the overhead of traditional virtual machines. More importantly, Docker makes Strawberry deployments and updates more predictable, simpler, and less disruptive.

Enhanced Proxy File Features
- New proxy settings allow customers to decide what types of proxies should be created. Read more in the “Important and/or Breaking Changes” section below.
- Proxies can now be stored in S3-compatible form from AWS, Cloudflare, Digital Ocean, Backblaze, Scaleway, and Vultr.
- Strawberry 6.6 creates preview proxies in the HLS instead of the Dash format. This allows for encrypted proxy playback across all devices and operating systems.
- Proxies for “atypical” video aspect ratios such as 9:16 are now properly supported across all output resolutions and do no longer have pillar boxes.
