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.
Sending the conform to grading, pulling in VFX shots, delivering the broadcast master or the DCP: every link in the post-production chain expects exact files, on time — TransferNow carries them byte for byte, up to 500 GB per transfer, with proof of receipt.

Your day-to-day
One hour of ProRes 422 HQ in UHD is ≈ 332 GB (Apple spec): beyond the limits of nearly every consumer tool.
Colorist, mixer, VFX: each one waits on the previous link’s deliverable — every hour lost in transfer shifts the whole chain.
A silent recompression, a file truncated at 92%, and that’s one more round trip — discovered at the worst possible moment.
With TransferNow
Conform, shots, subtitles, stems: the folder leaves complete, structure preserved — up to 500 GB in one link.
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.
Broadcast master, DCP, air master: a password if needed, a notification on download — the delivery is documented, with no confirmation call.
Built for you
ProRes, DPX, EXR, DCP: files travel with no conversion or recompression, metadata and timecode included. What leaves the render is what arrives.
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.
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.
Reels, versions, subtitles, mixes: the folder structure is preserved on download — the next link in the chain finds their way immediately.
A password on the download, SSL/TLS in transit, a controlled link lifetime and deactivation at any time.
A notification for every download, per recipient: you know the lab retrieved the master — the history speaks for itself.
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.
