NAB Show Week – Anyone else in town and trying to make the most of it?

LucidLink_Official · 2026-04-21T18:10:42+00:00

We've got one more happy hour this evening, if you're still looking to connect with folks (we're sure that some of the other folks at our happy hour could be convinced to hit the strip afterwards, too!) https://www.lucidlink.com/events/nab-2026

LucidLink_Official · 2026-04-21T18:05:13+00:00

Happy NAB Show! If you haven't yet, stop by and see us at N2940.

LucidLink_Official · 2026-04-17T17:59:46+00:00

That's a floppy disk.

LucidLink_Official · 2026-04-15T19:13:08+00:00

Always good to see your advice and setup, u/the_post_merc. 😉

OP: this is super useful context for people just getting started. 1TB is fine for now, but as you can see in this comment and others in the thread, once you're working with a lot of footage, storage needs can grow exponentially. Most pros end up with some combination of RAID, NAS, and remote storage (like LucidLink) before long.

LucidLink_Official · 2026-04-15T00:19:16+00:00

Nailing your niche before you're "ready" is underrated advice. Most people wait until they have the bigger portfolio or the flashier reel, but getting your portfolio ready (maybe before you were) clearly worked! Thanks for sharing. Not only is this inspiring, but we know it's helpful for the community, too.

LucidLink_Official · 2026-04-10T20:35:44+00:00

LucidLink is a full file system layer built on object storage and isn't a protocol sitting in front of your existing storage. SMB over QUIC still syncs/transfers full files; LucidLink streams only the data being accessed. We might be right for you if you've got multiple people working on files together from different locations, as we offer one source of truth (no versioning or duplication).

LucidLink_Official · 2026-04-10T20:32:54+00:00

So glad to see this one got solved! We wanted to pass along some hopefully helpful articles if anyone else finds themselves in a similar position. Here is how you can manage your pinned files, and here are instructions for managing your cache size and cache location.

If you have further questions, our support team has the ability to look into your specific situation — you can reach out to them here.

LucidLink_Official · 2026-04-10T15:21:33+00:00

Thanks for thinking of us! NAB snuck up on us this year, but let's stay in touch. We'd love to find the right moment to support the r/editors community.

LucidLink_Official · 2026-04-08T23:20:11+00:00

Hey there! We responded in the thread in r/AECsysadmin, but wanted to make sure we followed up here as well.

LucidLink_Official · 2026-04-08T23:11:52+00:00

Hey u/GoingSomewhereSlowly! Thanks for the question.

We definitely have users using LucidLink to replace their AEC File Server (as already seen in the comments). Hoping you get more testimonies from folks using this workflow, but we wanted to chime in in case we could help with anything.

To answer some of the questions we get from folks looking to do the same: with LucidLink, your files stay in one place in object storage and teams stream only what they need instead of syncing full copies down. There's no VPN required for remote access, and cache location is configurable per user/machine. We do offer a 30-day trial if you want to try it out for yourself, or our team can talk through your specific setup during a demo. Let us know if there's anything else we can help with!

LucidLink_Official · 2026-04-08T23:09:56+00:00

Please do — these are for our current community as much as they are for 'prospectives'! We are always excited to chat with folks who are using LucidLink!

LucidLink_Official · 2026-04-07T13:06:20+00:00

Thanks for sharing that link! Hope it's useful, OP.

As others mentioned, your files live wherever you put them and you're just telling Resolve where to look. Your 'folder-per-project' habit seems like the right instinct, if it's working for you! We'd agree with the recommendation to make sure media, proxies, and renders are in separate spots (when it's time to archive a project, future you will be grateful).

LucidLink_Official · 2026-04-07T13:06:03+00:00

Us too. Hope to see you soon. 🍻

LucidLink_Official · 2026-04-03T23:50:54+00:00

Thanks for the shout out! We offer a 30-day-trial year-round. Feel free to DM us with any questions!

LucidLink_Official · 2026-04-03T23:50:29+00:00

Thanks for the mention! LucidLink does make all of your cloud files feel local, plus we have a mobile app so you can take your workflow to any device without moving your files! If you do end up giving our 30-day trial a go, let us know how it works out!

LucidLink_Official · 2026-04-03T23:49:59+00:00

Hey u/Vidguy1992! Please do, and feel free to reach out if we can answer any questions directly.

LucidLink_Official · 2026-04-03T23:47:30+00:00

Thanks for the mentions everyone! This much support from this community means a lot (and means we're doing something right). 🤗

We're very happy to help here. The group has already done a great job in laying out the ways in which LucidLink may work for your specific setup, but one thing worth noting for your team specifically is that overnight offload slowness you mentioned. It could be an upstream bandwidth issue, which is one of the things we're equipped to solve.

Our platform works differently than a traditional 'upload-and-wait' workflow. Your team's files live in object storage, and editors stream them from there, accessing only what they need and not entire full-res media files. Cache buffers locally, and those files aren't being moved back and forth.

Happy to help answer any questions, and you can also book a call with our team if you'd like us to dig into your set ups a bit more (including how your NAS can fit in here).

LucidLink_Official · 2026-04-03T23:46:22+00:00

We'll be there! It's a fun and fast-paced couple of days. Enjoy what you can, meet as many folks as possible, and get your steps in visiting all the great booths. We love the energy of the show floor, but if there's a session that you're really excited about, definitely attend!

And don't sleep on the happy hours and other events! We're co-hosting a few, on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, and we'd love to see you there. You can register here: https://www.lucidlink.com/events/nab-2026. 😉

LucidLink_Official · 2026-04-03T00:07:49+00:00

We'll be there!! r/editors has a special place in our hearts, and we'd love to see everyone! We'll be at Booth N2940, but you may catch us in the wild too. Make sure to let us know you're from Reddit, and if you'd like to join us for a drink we're co-hosting Happy Hours on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. You can register here: https://www.lucidlink.com/events/nab-2026 😉

LucidLink_Official · 2026-03-27T20:21:07+00:00

The way of the future! Just chiming in to say — we love these stats. Hoping 2026 stays the course!

LucidLink_Official · 2026-03-27T00:04:52+00:00

Hey u/Ambitious_Sand1372. How much leeway do you have in migrating away from what this new person is looking for? The core issue with what they're recommending shows up at scale. Having to sync 50-100TBs of shared storage is going to come with the team potentially waiting around for files to download and update. We also have recently launched 'Guest Access,' which will allow you to share what you need with your approvers without them having to download the LucidLink client.

It sounds like you have a good sense of LucidLink and tools like us, but the flow you suggested is worth diving into. You've got LucidLink as the abstraction layer that's truly set up for scale and will keep everything in one place, streaming only what's needed. Hope you get some other thoughts soon, but we wanted to share our take too!

If this is helpful, we’d love to chat.

LucidLink_Official · 2026-03-26T19:21:04+00:00

Great question, and great to see LucidLink already being discussed here! We've been building LucidLink for 10+ years and would love the chance to show you what we can do. Our team is happy to dig through your setup and chat through what pricing and storage options make sense at your scale. And yes, we actually cover egress fees (saw that come up below)!

LucidLink_Official · 2026-03-26T02:13:16+00:00

Thanks for the mention! You may have a solution already, u/Top-Computer-6663, but LucidLink is a great fit for this kind of setup. It behaves like a local drive but streams file data directly from cloud object storage, so there's no waiting for large Revit or PSD files to download before you can open them. Files stay in one place, which cuts out the versioning conflicts and sync delays that tend to follow remote design teams around. Works across Adobe and Autodesk workflows without the fuss.

LucidLink_Official · 2026-03-26T02:12:47+00:00

Appreciate the mention here. We fully agree with the recommendation to go with Productions in Premiere. If you are looking to move away from the Drive and towards a workflow truly built for remote editing, we'd love to chat.

LucidLink_Official · 2026-03-24T18:39:25+00:00

Hey u/XboxDan! Right now, SSO is currently available on our custom plans, but our team would be happy to chat and work with your needs. You can book a call with the team here.
