Why video editors love LucidLink

LucidLink was where everything came together. Artists were able to work in their own ways with the technology disappearing in the background and, despite everything being in the cloud, were able to work fast and effectively.

Collaborative video editing FAQs

Collaborative video editing is when multiple editors or creatives work on the same project — often at the same time. Traditionally, distributed teams struggled because huge video files had to be copied, downloaded or synced before editing, causing delays, duplicates and version conflicts.

With LucidLink, there’s no downloading entire files. Editors stream only the parts they need, directly from a shared cloud filespace, so everyone can work on the same media in real time.

Many video editing tools support collaboration — including Premiere Pro, Media Composer, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro and After Effects. But the real key is storage, not the editor itself. LucidLink’s cloud-native file system streams media instantly to any of these tools, so teams can edit video collaboratively in real time without downloads, duplicates or version conflicts.

Yes — if your setup supports it. While most NLEs don’t allow two people on the exact same timeline, LucidLink lets teams work on the same media pool without overwrites. One editor can cut, another can grade, a third can work on audio, all from the same files.

Getting started is simple. Start your free trial, create a shared LucidLink filespace, invite your team and install the client app on each workstation. From there, everyone can mount the filespace as a local drive and start editing video collaboratively in their favorite tools.

LucidLink works with any NLE, MAM, DAM or DAW. With direct integrations for your favorite video editing software, including Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, DaVinci Resolve, After Effects and Final Cut Pro, your team can edit, review and deliver projects in real time.
