YoYotta is a company based in Greenwich, London, UK. Its software of the same name is built for the production and post-production industry, runs on Apple macOS, and supports both Intel and Apple silicon Macs. It is not a general-purpose cloud drive or collaborative document SaaS product; it is media data workflow software for film and TV, covering on-set copying, verification, indexing, transcoding, LTO/LTFS archiving, restore, and timeline-based conform.
YoYottaβs core strength is large-scale media data management. On set, it can copy camera cards to multiple destinations, generate and verify MD5/xxHash checksums, extract clip metadata and thumbnails, and generate PDF reports. During post-production, footage can be ingested into local or shared storage, with project indexing used to search for media locations. Transcode supports formats including DPX, ProRes, H.264, H.265, and MXF+AAF. Conform can read AAF, ALE, CSV, EDL, and FCPXML files, then selectively restore and trim original media for grading, online, and VFX workflows.
Its LTO capabilities are relatively strong, supporting LTFS archiving from LTO-5 through LTO-10, with optional add-ons for up to 8 LTO drives. The Library option supports a single tape library, while Multi Library supports up to 4 tape libraries. LTFS is a cross-platform standard, which helps reduce archive lock-in risk. YoYotta Server can synchronize project metadata across multiple YoYotta systems and manage access keys for S3 object storage, allowing Mac clients to upload and download files from cloud storage. The software is installed on macOS and is essentially a local/workstation deployment; once the license is installed, it can be used offline.
The v4 base subscription costs Β£80/year. Conform adds Β£110/year, LTO Drive is Β£60/drive/year, LTO Library is Β£80/year, and Multi LTO Library is Β£240/year. Subscriptions from 1 month to 5 years are available, with support for EUR, GBP, and USD. Prices exclude tax, and purchase requires contacting the company by email. A 12-day demo is available and includes all features and options, making it suitable for validating workflows on real hardware.
Its advantages are a strong focus on film and TV workflows, a complete chain for verification, reporting, indexing, transcoding, and LTO archiving, plus offline usability. The downsides are that it only supports macOS, has relatively high requirements for LTO, SAS, FibreChannel, Thunderbolt drives, and tape library configuration, and provides limited public information on team permissions, security certifications, and APIs. It is well suited to DITs, post-production facilities, media managers, grading/VFX teams, and organizations with long-term tape archiving needs.
The source material does not provide information about access from mainland China, RMB payments, or local agents, so availability should be considered unknown. If procurement or support channels are limited, alternatives such as Hedge, ShotPut Pro, Silverstack, Archiware P5, and PreRoll Post may be worth evaluating.
