Video production involves sharing the largest files in any creative workflow. Raw camera footage, proxy files, color-graded clips, VFX elements, sound design and final exports move between editors, colorists, sound designers and producers constantly. Here is how to manage it.
The Video Production File Challenge
- A single RED or Blackmagic RAW clip can be 5-10GB
- Dailies from a shoot day total 50-200GB
- Teams are often in different cities or countries
- Deadlines are measured in hours, not days
Sharing Workflow by Role
Director to Editor
Share selects and notes. Upload selected clips with a description noting timecodes and preferences. The editor downloads at full quality.
Editor to Colorist
Export an XML/EDL with proxy footage. Bundle under one EasySend link. The colorist downloads and conforms.
Colorist to Producer
Share color-graded dailies for approval. Video preview on the download page lets producers review before downloading the full file.
Sound Designer to Mix Engineer
Share stems, foley and effects as WAV bundles. Zero compression preserves every detail.
For Files Over 1GB
Premium at $1.99/month supports up to 10GB per file. That covers most individual clips, ProRes exports and Premiere projects. For full raw footage dumps, split into multiple bundles.
