MEDIAGNITE HELP

How to use Mediagnite

A step-by-step guide to finding production professionals, posting a project and choosing the right offer.

Find the service you need

Mediagnite connects people planning TV, film, video and live productions with professionals, studios and equipment providers. Start with a service such as Camera, Directors, Audio, Lighting & Grip, Post-production or Studios & Facilities.

You can browse profiles first or begin with a guided project request. Directory profiles are supplied by providers; confirm experience, credentials and suitability directly.

Your project, step by step

1

Choose a service and location

Select the category, country, state or region, and city where the work will happen. Add the type of production and the scope of help you need.

Build a project brief
2

Add the dates and production details

Explain your schedule, budget, deliverables, crew size, equipment and facility needs. Be specific about what you need the professional to provide.

Read the planning checklist
3

Review your details and post

Add your contact information and preferred contact times, then review the project before posting. You must complete your account to save a project. Posting is free. New accounts and job posts require administrator approval before matching starts.

Post a project

Get matched with relevant professionals

Matching uses category and the same country, region and city. Up to five professionals receive active invitations at a time. Declined or expired invitations can go to a different professional.

Compare proposals

Review price, included scope and availability in your workspace. Shortlist the offers you want to discuss. Ask about exclusions, travel, overtime, revisions and delivery deadlines.

Open your project dashboard
6

Confirm your professional

Agree on availability, scope and terms directly first. Then choose “Hire this professional” on the quote and confirm. Your project becomes Hired, and new invitations and quotes stop. This records your choice; it does not create a contract or process production payment.

Manage your hiring choice

After the production

Once the agreed work is finished, open your hired project and choose Mark project completed. Confirm completion to update the project status. Your brief and quotes remain available. This records completion only; it does not confirm payment or release money.

What makes a useful brief?

  • Production format, audience and final deliverables.
  • Shoot location, preferred dates and expected working hours.
  • Roles, crew size and equipment or studio requirements.
  • Budget range and what must be included.
  • Editing, graphics, captions and review deadlines when relevant.
Example: a camera request

We need two camera operators for a one-day studio interview in Washington, DC. Please quote cameras, lenses and operators separately from lighting and audio. We need recorded footage delivered in our agreed format, and would like to confirm setup time and overtime terms.

Understand costs and privacy

Do customers pay to post?

Posting a project is free. You agree on the production price and pay the hired provider directly. Our cost guides use illustrative planning assumptions, not guaranteed quotes.

Who can see my project contact information?

Your full brief and contact details are restricted to you and professionals with authorized paid lead access. Locked lead previews do not expose your contact details.

Will I definitely receive five quotes?

No. Five is the maximum active invitation limit, not a promise of five available professionals or five proposals. Results depend on eligible providers and their response.

Can I close a project before hiring?

Yes. Open your project and use its close option if you no longer need proposals. Closing stops new invitations and quote submissions.

What is available in this preview?

Project posting, profiles, matching, invitations, quotes, shortlisting and recording a hiring choice are implemented. Paid lead unlocks and paid membership activation are disabled until payment integration is finished. That means new professionals cannot complete the paid unlock-to-quote flow yet.

Completed-project reviews are available. Automated email and SMS notifications and provider verification are still pending. Check your workspace for project activity. The site remains a private preview.
