Helping You Get the Most Out of Lucidlink

circle x icon

The Challenge

Quickly getting raw assets from field teams and external vendors into LucidLink Filespaces often creates licensing bottlenecks, manual overhead, and editing delays.

  • Per-seat licensing friction: Giving external freelancers, field crews, or clients access to LucidLink requires buying additional seats and managing user credentials.
  • Manual ingest bottlenecks: Without automated ingest pipelines, someone has to manually download incoming assets and copy them to LucidLink before editors can start working.
  • Complex setup & file caps: Forcing remote teams to download software, configure custom clients, or deal with strict size limits slows down production timelines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do external contributors need a LucidLink or MASV account to upload files?

No. Senders do not need a LucidLink seat, client installation, or MASV account. You simply share a link to your MASV Upload Portal, and they can drag and drop files directly through their web browser.

How does MASV help get files onto the editing timeline faster?

MASV utilizes accelerated transfer protocols optimized for 10Gbps+ connections, native integrations, and no-code automation to push incoming uploads straight into your LucidLink Filespace without manual intervention, allowing editors to stream media immediately.

Can I capture custom metadata during the upload process?

Yes. MASV Portals allow you to create custom metadata forms (e.g., Project Name, Shoot Date, Camera ID, Scene/Take). This metadata is attached to the transfer, ensuring files land in LucidLink properly organized.

What is the maximum file size I can send into LucidLink using MASV?

MASV supports individual file uploads to S3 of up to 5 TB, blowing past AWS console limits

Is the connection secure for sensitive or unreleased media assets?

Yes. MASV is ISO 27001, SOC 2, and a verified member of the MPA’s TPN (Trusted Partner Network) vendor roster. All transfers are encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256).
