LucidLink, the file streaming platform, today at Adobe MAX announced a Frame.io integration and expanded mobile capabilities, streamlining collaboration and helping creative teams move from idea to delivery faster.
With the LucidLink integration for Frame.io, footage captured in the field streams directly into editing timelines without the need for uploading or downloading. The expanded iOS Mobile app, now featuring multi-file uploads and background transfers on iOS 26, extends these capabilities to iOS users.
Modern creative teams have moved reviews and collaboration to the cloud, but editing workflows remain stuck in a download bottleneck. Editors wait hours to download footage before starting work, mobile captures sit in camera rolls until manually transferred, and some teams still ship physical hard drives to move large files. These delays add up across distributed teams working on tight deadlines.
This year, LucidLink won an Emmy for tackling this problem in television. Paramount, Warner Bros, and Discovery are among those that count on LucidLink to manage over 80 petabytes of data across 150 countries. The new Frame.io integration and mobile capabilities bring the same instant-access approach to creative teams working with video across industries, from advertising and marketing to design.
LucidLink + Frame.io
The new LucidLink + Frame.io integration creates a mirror of selected Frame.io projects inside LucidLink, making media instantly editable in creative apps like Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.
“Frame.io revolutionized capture with Camera-to-Cloud. With LucidLink, it becomes Camera-to-Timeline—media lands in your LucidLink workspace and is instantly ready to edit in Premiere Pro or After Effects,” said Richard Yu, Chief Product Officer at LucidLink. “Paired with our enhanced mobile apps, teams can capture anywhere and start cutting immediately—no downloads, relinking, or changes to how they work on the desktop.”
What this means for workflows:
-
Media uploaded through Frame.io’s Camera-to-Cloud appears instantly in LucidLink
-
Editors can cut directly in Premiere Pro or After Effects from a single, always-online source
-
Producers keep governance and approvals in Frame.io
-
Teams eliminate downloads, shipping physical hard drives, relinking and version drift
-
Result: hours saved per day, fewer handoffs, and a smoother path from dailies to picture-lock
The LucidLink + Frame.io integration will be included with LucidLink Business and Enterprise plans. A technical preview will be demoed at Adobe MAX, with general availability targeted for Q1 2026.
LucidLink Mobile
Today’s phones capture multi-gigabyte files in 4K/60, HDR and ProRes/Log, overwhelming email, chat and manual transfers. With LucidLink Mobile, background multi-file uploads send footage straight into a filespace, with no intermediate copies, relinking or “download-then-upload” steps. Editors can start cutting immediately while the rest streams in, eliminating hours or even days of handoffs
New iOS capabilities complement LucidLink’s existing support on Android devices. They include:
-
Multi-file uploads with background upload on iOS 26
-
In-app previews
-
Permission-aware sharing
-
Core file operations
