For creators

Your master, shipped at master quality.
Ninety cents of every dollar.

You made something that looks like what you rendered. The rest of the internet makes it look like something else. TsugiCinema does not. You set the price. You keep ninety cents of every dollar your superfans pay you. We handle the pipe and the box.

The split

Ninety to you.
Ten to keep the lights on.

Of every dollar a viewer pays for your work, ninety cents lands in your account in your own currency. The other ten cents covers Stripe processing, content delivery, and operations. That is the entire bill.

No platform subscription, ever. No paid tier to remove ads, because there are no ads to remove. No platform-set price floor or ceiling. The price is yours.

When viewers think a creator's price is too high, the complaint goes to the creator, not the platform. That is the right architecture. Pricing accountability lives where pricing decisions live.

Fan interaction

Four ways your superfans
can pay you directly.

01

Per-video pricing

You set the price on each video. Free, a few dollars, premium. The viewer sees the number you chose.

02

Creator monthly tier

A subscription to you, not to the platform. Tier perks are yours to define. Cancels do not affect any other creator a viewer follows.

03

Tips and gifted unlocks

One viewer can pay to unlock your video for someone else. The thank-you note is visible. The economics are not anonymous.

04

Live PPV

Pay-per-view live events. The architecture is built for at-home concerts and premieres at a fidelity that makes "I was there" honest.

Money flows on Stripe Connect. Payouts in your own currency. The platform takes ten percent on the gross. The mechanic is the same on every surface.

The fidelity floor

Your master ships
as a master.

Every video on TsugiCinema clears a published quality threshold. Specific. Measurable. Documented. No other platform commits to that.

The platform's job is to deliver what you delivered. Bit depth, chroma, color gamut, and motion are preserved end to end. The viewer sees what you signed off on, not what a re-encoder thought was good enough.

The catalog has weight because everything in it does. That is what a quality bar actually buys: the next video a viewer watches will not embarrass yours by sitting next to it.

Five content cards stacked above a horizontal gold line, with tick marks below the line. The line is the published quality threshold; everything above it has cleared the bar.
The brand commitment

Above the fidelity floor. Never a forced ad. You pay only for what you want, when you want, to the creator who made it.

Two creator paths

Different submission flows.
Same fidelity floor.

Brand commitment: pay only for what you watch. A video tile connected by a gold seam directly to a dollar sign in a gold ring; the platform-subscription pill below is struck out.
Human creators

Held in the highest esteem.

Filmmakers, musicians, EDM producers, indie studios, individual authors. Your work is not source material to be re-encoded down. It is the master, distributed at master quality, with the price set by you. Distinct submission flow today, distinct curation surfaces over time.

AI studios

Selectively curated.

The bar is "indistinguishable from hand-made at perception level." Master-file ingest only, no rips. The selectivity is the feature: it keeps your work out of the adjacency that devalues it on commodity platforms.

What's behind the platform

Three patent-pending pillars,
so master quality is structural.

The fidelity floor is not a marketing line. Three filed US provisional patents make it cheap enough to honor on every video, on consumer silicon, today. They anchor a portfolio of seven filed US provisionals.

Dual-layer compression

Master-quality 4K 12-bit 4:4:4 from a 30 to 38 GB file. A fraction of the bitrate the full master would otherwise require.

Plesiochronous synchronization
