File transfer built for videographers

Q: How do I deliver a day of shooting to my editor?

Drag the complete card folder into TransferNow (up to 500 GB per transfer with an account): the folder structure is preserved and the editor downloads from a simple browser, with no account to create. Use the desktop app to let the upload run in the background.

Q: Is the delivered master identical to my export?

Yes, without the slightest alteration: no recompression, no re-encoding — resolution, bitrate and color intact, unlike streaming platforms.

Q: How do I get an edit approved without sending the source file?

The recipient can preview the video from the download page before deciding to retrieve the file — handy for approval rounds.

Q: Can I protect a film before it airs?

Yes: a password on the download (shared through a separate channel), a limited availability period, link deactivation at any time and per-recipient download tracking.

Q: What about multi-hour uploads?

Use our desktop apps (Windows, macOS, Linux): the upload runs in the background, outside the browser tab, and you’re notified when the link is ready.

From raw footage to the master, video lives in tens of gigabytes. TransferNow moves it all — up to 500 GB per transfer, with no recompression and desktop apps built for multi-hour uploads — plus per-recipient tracking so you know when post has received everything.

Your day-to-day

What gets in the way today

Platforms recompress everything

An unlisted YouTube link or a messaging app delivers a degraded version — never the source file the client or broadcaster expects.

A drive by courier costs days

Reliable but slow: a drive tied up, a delivery delay, a breakage risk — for files a fiber line moves in a few hours.

Giant uploads that fail at 92%

A closed tab, a machine going to sleep, a micro-outage: without a dedicated tool, the big upload is a lottery.

With TransferNow

Your workflow, in three steps

1
Deliver footage to post
Drag in the card folder: clips, audio and sidecars leave together, folder structure intact — up to 500 GB in one link.
2
Get exports approved
The client previews from the download page and retrieves the source file — not a degraded streaming version.
3
Receive project elements
Upload link or widget: briefs, voice-overs, brand guidelines and logos land directly with you, with a notification for every drop.

Videographers: the features that matter

Byte for byte

Camera files, untouched

BRAW, R3D, ProRes, MXF: no conversion, metadata and timecode included. What the camera wrote is what the editor receives. In UHD, ProRes 422 HQ runs at 737 Mbps — ≈ 332 GB per hour per the Apple spec.

Desktop apps

Long uploads, in the background

Windows, macOS, Linux: the upload runs outside the browser tab and survives the session’s ups and downs — with a notification when the link is ready.

Whole folders

The card leaves organized

The folder structure (CARD_01, subfolders, sidecars) is preserved on download — post starts logging without any reassembly.

Password

Embargoed footage, protected

Pre-air commercials, sensitive footage: a password on the download, SSL/TLS-encrypted transfer, a controlled link lifetime.

Notifications

You know when the edit starts

Every download triggers a notification by name — no more “did you get the footage?”.

365 days

The link that lasts the whole production

Availability configurable up to 365 days: the broadcaster downloads on their own schedule, with no resend.

The numbers to remember

500 GB: per transfer — a full day of shooting in one link
≈ 6 h: of ProRes 422 HQ (HD) per transfer (500 GB)
0: recompression: the master arrives as is
365 days: of configurable availability

And against WeTransfer?

Between footage and exports, video is the first trade to saturate a transfer service: 3 GB and 10 sends a month don’t cut it — a video production measures that in the first week of shooting.
