LucidLink Setup & Deployment
Done Right the First Time
Your editors should work from anywhere without waiting on file transfers. I've deployed LucidLink for 15+ teams in Toronto and across North America. I'll configure yours to work from day one.
15+ LucidLink Deployments. From Lean Edit Shops to Enterprise.
I've deployed LucidLink for production companies, ad agencies, and corporate creative teams across North America. Clients range from five-person edit shops to enterprise operations with hundreds of daily users.
My largest deployment supported 120+ daily users across North America at Shopify. As Content Management Lead, I built its cloud editing infrastructure from the ground up. LucidLink published the work as an official case study.

I've provisioned AWS S3 and Backblaze B2 storage, configured LucidLink filespaces, integrated NLE workflows, and trained editors. I know where LucidLink works well and where its limits require planning.
What a Typical Engagement Includes
- • Cloud storage provisioning and LucidLink filespace configuration
- • NLE workflow integration for Premiere, Resolve, or Avid
- • Hybrid architecture that pairs LucidLink with on-prem NAS or SAN storage
- • Editor training and onboarding
- • Ongoing support after launch
Cloud Storage That Performs Like a Local SAN
LucidLink streams media from cloud object storage directly to your editors' timelines. There are no full downloads, sync jobs, or VPNs. Everyone works in one filespace.
Local-Speed Performance
Scrub, cut, and render on ProRes, DNxHR, and BRAW without waiting for files to download. LucidLink streams the exact bytes your NLE requests.
Real-Time Collaboration
Multiple editors on the same filespace, same project, whether they're in the same building or different cities. No file locking headaches.
Every Major NLE
Premiere, Resolve, Avid, Final Cut. LucidLink mounts as a native drive without plugins, relinking, or workflow changes.
Centralized Security
Media stays in cloud storage with end-to-end encryption. No copies floating on personal drives. Permissions controlled from one place.
Scales Instantly
Onboard a freelancer in 15 minutes. No VPN provisioning, no hardware shipment. Just send a login and they're cutting.
Distributed Post Production Is Broken Without the Right Infrastructure
Your team is split across offices, home studios, and freelancer setups. The SAN only works on-prem. VPN connections choke on 4K media. File transfers eat hours out of every day. And every time you onboard a freelancer, IT has to spin up another workaround.
You don't have a talent problem. You have a plumbing problem.
Build a Post Team That Works From Anywhere
Full Remote
Editors can work from home or across the country with the same filespace as the office. LucidLink removes the requirement to be on-site to access media.
Hybrid
Keep the on-prem suite for heavy finishing and colour. Give remote editors the same filespace through LucidLink. Everyone sees the same bins, cuts, and media without exports, uploads, or version confusion.
You stop losing talent to geography. You stop losing time to file transfers. You start running post like a modern operation.
Faster Transcodes, Tuned for LucidLink
Once your team is on LucidLink, transcoding may become the next bottleneck. I built Parallel Media Encoder to run multiple encodes at once on Apple Silicon. It supports ProRes, DNxHR, BRAW, R3D, and MXF. In testing, it was 39% faster than single-file transcoding.
PME includes the LucidLink presets I've refined across 15+ deployments. I tested dozens of codec and bitrate combinations to find settings that stream well. They are built in, with no subscription required.
Let's Get Your Team on LucidLink
I'll scope the deployment, configure the infrastructure, and train your team so editors can work without VPN or transfer delays.
