Workflow guide
File sharing for video-production reviews
Video work produces more than final masters. Review exports, audio references, shot lists, captions, and approval documents move between editors, producers, and clients throughout a project. FileShareFast can package supported files behind one link without implying that the free tier replaces specialist transfer tools for very large camera originals.
Reviewed
Choose the right review artifact
Before uploading, decide whether the recipient needs an original, a smaller review export, or supporting documents. Guest and free files are currently limited to 100 MB each, so high-bitrate footage may need a purpose-built workflow or an arrangement confirmed with sales.
Use descriptive filenames with a project name, cut number, and date. Put feedback instructions in the share description instead of relying on a separate message that can be lost.
Reduce review confusion
Create a new share when the cut changes materially so recipients do not confuse versions. Password-protect client-sensitive links, state the expiration date, and ask reviewers to reference timestamps in their response.
- Upload a review-sized export that fits the published limit.
- Include version and date in the filename.
- Retire superseded links after the review round closes.
A practical workflow
Step 1
Export
Prepare the smallest artifact that preserves the detail required for review.
Step 2
Label
Use an unambiguous versioned filename and concise share description.
Step 3
Protect
Apply a password or private access when the material is not for broad distribution.
Step 4
Close the round
Collect feedback, then remove the obsolete share.
Common questions
Can I send raw 4K footage on the free tier?
Only when each file fits the current 100 MB limit; most raw footage will require another workflow.
Does FileShareFast add review annotations?
Do not assume an annotation workflow. Put clear feedback instructions in the share and use your normal review process.
How should I handle confidential client work?
Use narrow access, share the password separately, set a short availability window, and confirm contractual requirements first.
