LOS ANGELES—In a significant development for creative professionals, LucidLink, a leading file streaming platform, has announced its integration with Adobe’s Frame.io, alongside expanded mobile capabilities, during the Adobe Max conference. This move promises to revolutionize how footage is handled in the field, streaming directly into editing timelines without the cumbersome process of uploading or downloading.
The integration with Frame.io allows media captured in the field to be instantly accessible for editing, a game-changer for creative teams. The enhanced iOS Mobile app, now supporting multi-file uploads and background transfers on iOS 26, extends these capabilities to iOS users, further streamlining workflows.
Revolutionizing Video Editing Workflows
LucidLink’s integration with Frame.io is designed to accelerate the often time-consuming download processes that can delay editing workflows. This advancement is particularly beneficial for creative teams working under tight deadlines. LucidLink, which recently won an Emmy for its innovative solutions in television, is already trusted by industry giants like Paramount, Warner Bros, and Discovery to manage over 80 petabytes of data across 150 countries.
The new integration creates a seamless mirror of selected Frame.io projects within LucidLink, making media instantly editable in popular creative applications such as Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects. Richard Yu, Chief Product Officer at LucidLink, explained,
“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.”
Implications for Creative Industries
This development is poised to transform workflows across various industries, from advertising and marketing to design. By enabling instant access to media, teams can eliminate the need for downloads, physical hard drives, and complex relinking processes. This not only saves hours each day but also reduces the potential for errors and version drift, facilitating a smoother transition from dailies to picture-lock.
The integration will be available with LucidLink’s Business and Enterprise plans, with a technical preview set to be showcased at Adobe MAX. General availability is targeted for the first quarter of 2026.
Enhancing Mobile Capabilities
In addition to the Frame.io integration, LucidLink has unveiled new mobile capabilities. The updated LucidLink Mobile app allows multiple files to be uploaded in the background, sending footage directly into a filespace without intermediate steps. This feature enables editors to begin their work immediately, while the rest of the content streams in, further reducing delays.
The new iOS features complement LucidLink’s existing support on Android devices and include:
- Multi-file uploads with background upload on iOS 26
- In-app previews
- Permission-aware sharing
- Core file operations
Looking Ahead
LucidLink’s advancements represent a significant leap forward in video editing technology, offering creative teams unprecedented efficiency and flexibility. As the company continues to innovate, the integration with Frame.io and the enhanced mobile capabilities are set to become essential tools for professionals across the globe.
LucidLink will demonstrate the Frame.io integration and Mobile apps, along with other native Adobe workflow integrations, at Booth 3817 during Adobe MAX in Los Angeles from October 28-30. This event will provide attendees with a firsthand look at how these new tools can enhance their creative processes.
