What do you dislike about the product?
The inability to use .poc filespaces on mobile
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to collaborate globally at very quick speeds and with stability and security built
Worst service of its type ever experienced. I'll go out of my way to tell people to not use it.
What do you like best about the product?
I hated every second of using it. Botched installers, unclear background processes, poor indication of file online/offline status, slow.
What do you dislike about the product?
This service seems to be made for an editor or maybe two editors working remotely. My tiny team (3 people) doing VFX on a couple hundred shots were ground to an absolute standstill by how horribly this tool is designed. I cannot spend enough time ranting about how insanely poorly every single part of Lucid Link is designed and implemented and cannot WAIT to never have to use it ever again.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It literally created problems. We could have used Dropbox or Drive and spent far less time re-installing it after botched installers, pinning to download files that we had just created, waiting for entire directories to come back online after they went offline, managing stupid pathing issues between Windows and Mac OS (which are solved on every other similar service, btw).
LucidLink - A Gamechanger for Remote Crews
What do you like best about the product?
We love the flexibility and speed of LucidLink. Most of our projects take us on the road, so having the ability to create proxies onsite while filming, upload them after we wrap and have an editor based in a completely different location immediately be able to start cutting has been a lifesaver for us. The ease of adding and removing users and adjusting what they have access to is also hugely beneficial.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't think I can really find much to say negatively about LucidLink. If I had to think of one thing, it would be the amount of time it's taking to allow current users to upgrade to their new V3 release instead of having to start up a whole new workspace. We'd like to upgrade our database and be able to take advantage of the new features but they've yet to release the tool to do so. In my opinion, I'd have preferred they aimed at releasing it for current customers first instead of making it like a new product that you have to start over to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LucidLink solves the problem of not having to use services like Dropbox or Google Drive nor shipping hard drives to editors in order to get them going on a project. It also allows us to keep our project file and folder structures intact and makes archiving projects from remote editors a breeze.
Then in today's flexible working environment, it allows me to un-tether from the office more frequently. When I'm in the middle of a multi day edit, gone are the days of putting all the media on a drive and having to take that home in order to work off of.

My job entails reviewing and editing videos for F1 races with 23 races on the calendar it is full on with very quick turn arounds lucidlink allows me to edit with out downloading and get videos from camera men in real time it also servers as a central hub for storage and transfer.
I do still need to learn all the extras but so far its basicly been plug and play.

On my mac when I preview with space bar its not that great this is definitely my net speed which is actualy very good but maybe it could preview in a lower format.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
working world wide with people I haven't even met it works great.
Fast And Reliable, Perfect For Our Animation Workflow
What do you like best about the product?
It was easy to integrate with our workflow on my end as an editor. It played well with Premiere which made my life much easier. It was great to have access to everything from anywhere as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
There were occasional outages, but they were rare and always quickly resolved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It connected artists and technical folks from all over the world with one file system.
Ease of access and collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
We switched to LucidLink for file delivery with client assets and it's made finding the most up-to-date files easier than ever before.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes difficult to get back into the app and switch between various filespaces.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having to chase team members down to see where I should look for new assets
Surprisingly fast remote work at a reasonable price, but not perfect
What do you like best about the product?
I use LucidLink to allow my remote colleagues to access and edit large (10-40 GB) amounts of footage quickly (i.e. without having to download anything) and turn around edits quickly. I work in podcasting and episodes need to turn around fast, and uploading + downloading massive files takes ages, especially with home WiFi. LucidLink allows us to cut out the downloading part entirely.
What do you dislike about the product?
LucidLink can occasionally be buggy and confusing to use, encountering errors like "failed to mount" with little to no troubleshooting guides existing online. There are also simple features (like being able to rename your workspace) that don't exist. I understand there are likely technical reasons or limitations preventing these features from being implemented, but they still cause a level of frustration during use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our office WiFi is decent, but our remote employees use their home internet. Those speeds vary. When turning around video episodes of our podcast quickly, downloading AND uploading (sometimes multiple times) is a huge time sink. This allows us to upload once, and never worry about downloading.
An efficient way to do remote video editing through the cloud.
What do you like best about the product?
Makes remote video editing seamless by allowing immediate access to large media files directly from the cloud without the need for time-consuming downloads. Its integration with Premiere Pro and consistent performance across teams in different locations have been game-changers for my workflow.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial setup may seem a bit technical for non-IT users, and occasional latency spikes can occur with slower connections. Future updates should incorporate more intuitive onboarding resources and optimize for variable internet speeds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The need to store large amounts of video data on my computer or local storage for editing.
LucidLink has enabled us to work with freelancers and other job specific artists faster.
What do you like best about the product?
I really love and appreciate the speed to which LucidLink uploads and downloads data. The 'streaming' component of transferring files really is a game changer.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing matrix can sometimes be weird to figure out. LucidLink Classic vs LucidLink is a little weird and cumbersome. There's definitely a difference in feature parity and the rollout of the new product was a little odd. Definitely not a show stopped, but something to note.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting data to artists
Very useful software for remote teams
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I can save files in shared folders while I’m working, so my team can access at any time
What do you dislike about the product?
I have no idea at the moment, all is great! Wouldn’t change anything
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use lucid because I’m working in a remote team and we can save there files so they’re accessible everywhere and by everyone
