Your day-to-day

What gets in the way today

Masters weighing hundreds of GB

One hour of ProRes 422 HQ in UHD is ≈ 332 GB (Apple spec): beyond the limits of nearly every consumer tool.

The chain stops when the file isn’t there

Colorist, mixer, VFX: each one waits on the previous link’s deliverable — every hour lost in transfer shifts the whole chain.

Doubt about the received file’s conformity

A silent recompression, a file truncated at 92%, and that’s one more round trip — discovered at the worst possible moment.

With TransferNow

Your workflow, in three steps

  1. 1

    Send elements to the next link

    Conform, shots, subtitles, stems: the folder leaves complete, structure preserved — up to 500 GB in one link.

  2. 2

    Receive deliverables from vendors

    One upload link per project: VFX, the lab and the sound studio drop off their renders without an account, and a notification fires with every drop.

  3. 3

    Deliver masters, tracked

    Broadcast master, DCP, air master: a password if needed, a notification on download — the delivery is documented, with no confirmation call.

Built for you

Post-production: the features that matter

Byte for byte

No alteration in transit

ProRes, DPX, EXR, DCP: files travel with no conversion or recompression, metadata and timecode included. What leaves the render is what arrives.

500 GB

Sized for masters

Up to 500 GB per transfer with an account. For scale: the DCI spec caps a DCP’s image bitrate at 250 Mbps — about ≈ 112 GB per hour at most.

Desktop apps

Giant uploads, made reliable

The Windows, macOS and Linux apps keep the upload running in the background, outside the browser tab — with a notification when the link is ready.

Whole folders

The project leaves organized

Reels, versions, subtitles, mixes: the folder structure is preserved on download — the next link in the chain finds their way immediately.

Password

Pre-release films, protected

A password on the download, SSL/TLS in transit, a controlled link lifetime and deactivation at any time.

Notifications

Proof of delivery

A notification for every download, per recipient: you know the lab retrieved the master — the history speaks for itself.

And against WeTransfer?

In post-production, the smallest export exceeds the 3 GB of WeTransfer’s free plan — and a production chain can’t live on 10 transfers a month. In post, one read of the table settles it.

Frequently asked questions

How do I send a ProRes master of several hundred GB?

With an account, each transfer goes up to 500 GB — roughly an hour and a half of ProRes 422 HQ UHD (≈ 332 GB/h per the Apple spec). The desktop apps keep the upload reliable in the background.

Can I deliver a DCP through TransferNow?

Yes: the DCP folder leaves as is, structure and files intact, with no recompression. For reference, the DCI spec caps the image bitrate at 250 Mbps, about ≈ 112 GB per hour at most.

How do I collect renders from VFX studios or the lab?

One upload link per project: each vendor drops off their deliverables in their browser, no installs and no FTP, and a notification fires with every drop.

How do I protect a film before its release?

A password on the download, SSL/TLS in transit, a limited availability period, per-recipient download tracking and link deactivation at any time.

Does an interrupted upload start over from scratch?

The desktop apps (Windows, macOS, Linux) keep the upload running in the background and reliable over time — the tool is built for long sends.
