LucidLink brings the camera to the timeline

The integration will give editors and producers access to their Frame.io assets alongside production media, such as B-roll, audio, graphics, and archives within the LucidLink filespace.  

This approach effectively extends LucidLink’s file streaming technology to assets outside Frame.io while providing what LucidLink describes as a “camera-to-timeline” experience. 

According to the company, using LucidLink Connect means that editors can “instantly” access files stored in cloud environments, such as Microsoft SharePoint, Dropbox, Google Drive, Box, and Amazon S3, without requiring data migration, downloads, or file duplication. The existing cloud storage systems remain unchanged, LucidLink asserted. 

The company also suggested a range of applications, including production of episodic and feature projects, live sports, and social content. 

Peter Thompson, CEO of LucidLink, said: “Creative teams don't work in a single application anymore. They move across NLEs [non-linear editors], MAMs [media asset managers], review and approval tools, and VFX platforms. Our integration with Adobe Frame.io means customers can enjoy an exceptional review and collaboration experience, while LucidLink provides the persistent, tool-agnostic storage layer behind it.

“You get the best of both worlds: a seamless Frame.io workflow and a cloud filespace that serves every other tool in the production. This integration isn't about choosing one storage option over another. It gives customers the flexibility to design workflows that match the way they actually work.”
