Why do video files need a dedicated workflow?
High-bitrate video, camera originals, audio stems, and graphics packages make projects grow quickly. Aggressive compression can reduce quality, while splitting delivery across messages creates confusion.
- Footage and master files retain their original quality.
- The complete project bundle moves through one link.
- The recipient does not need to join a shared folder.
Prepare a clear client delivery
Use an understandable filename and include only the version needed for the current handoff. The client should not have to guess which export is for review or final use.
Choose access based on the material
A public demo and an unreleased campaign asset do not carry the same risk. Workfiles lets you choose how strictly recipient access is checked.
- Email OTP works for material delivered to a named contact.
- Domain restrictions work for a client or partner team.
- Verified identity access suits more sensitive content.
Send one link and avoid version confusion
Share the link through project management, email, or chat. When a new version is delivered as a separate transfer, links and activity remain clearly distinguishable.
Use activity records to confirm delivery
Opening and download information helps confirm that material reached the recipient. It does not replace formal client approval, but it removes uncertainty about whether the link was used.
