How it works

How to transfer large video files between devices — without an upload step

Vidsync moves your RAW footage and project files peer-to-peer between every team member's device, with no size cap and per-project member control. Here's the four-step workflow.

1. Install the desktop app

Download Vidsync for macOS, Windows, or Linux on every machine that needs the project — your camera laptop, your editor's workstation, the colorist's box. The app sits in the menu bar and starts the local sync agent.

Vidsync is a desktop-first tool. There's no browser tab to keep open, no 'cloud' to upload to, and no separate plan needed per platform. Editors on Mac, videographers on Windows, colorists on Linux all run the same app.

2. Create a project, point it at a folder

In the app, create a new project (one shoot, one client, one channel — whatever maps to your billing unit) and connect it to a local folder on disk. That folder becomes the project's source of truth.

Vidsync watches the folder you chose and treats every file inside it — RAW clips, Premiere/Resolve project files, audio, exports, color LUTs — as part of the project. You don't import; you point at where you already work.

3. Invite your team to that specific project

Add editors, motion designers, freelance colorists, or external clients by email. Each member gets their own invitation and only sees the project they were invited to.

Per-project membership is the second pillar. A freelance editor on Project A can't see Project B's footage. Remove someone from a project and their access there ends — without touching the rest of your projects.

4. Walk away. Files transfer peer-to-peer.

Vidsync moves files directly between members' machines using a proven peer-to-peer protocol. No upload to a cloud server, no per-GB egress fee, no 'compress and re-upload' loop when you tweak a cut.

Because there's no cloud middleman, there's no upload limit. A wedding videographer can move 800 GB of multicam footage to an editor's machine; a documentary crew can sync a 2 TB project between three time zones. Transfer speed is whatever your network gives you.

Why peer-to-peer beats cloud uploads for large video files

Cloud drives need a full upload to their servers and a full download by your collaborator — twice the bytes over the public internet. Vidsync sends one peer-to-peer stream and runs at LAN speed when crew is on-site.

Peer-to-peer protocol

Files move device-to-device over an end-to-end-encrypted peer-to-peer block protocol. We never see plaintext bytes, and storage volume on your laptop is the only cap that applies.

Encrypted transfers, verified devices

Every transfer is encrypted in transit. Every device that signs in to your account is verified by an email one-time code before it's allowed to sync project footage.

Live per-file diagnostics

See which clip is synced, syncing, paused, or stalled — on which member's device — without leaving the desktop app. Spot a missing render before someone asks.
