A WeTransfer alternative for video teams
WeTransfer is made for sending files to someone. On a shoot the files keep coming, from several cameras, all day, to an editor who needs them in the right folders. FDD Transfers is built for that.
The short version
Files arrive as they’re shot
Cameras send over FTP or SFTP as they record, or you drag clips straight from the card. There’s no transfer to make each time.
Camera setup guidesNothing to chase
Files stay in the project while your plan has room. There are no links to resend and no expiry dates.
In the right folder, on the editor’s drive
Each camera gets its own folder, and new files download to the editor’s computer by themselves.
The whole crew, one price
There are no per-seat fees. Share a project with everyone on the shoot.
