MOV / ProRes Video Transfer Hub

Send Large QuickTime MOV & Apple ProRes Files

Apple devices record high-bitrate QuickTime MOV and ProRes footage by default. A 60-second 4K ProRes clip can weigh over 5 GB. LimeShare provides an encrypted direct storage pipe so creators can transfer native MOV files without re-compression.

Why standard email fails for MOV / ProRes Video

QuickTime MOV files carry uncompressed alpha channels or high-bitrate ProRes streams that exceed standard email attachment limits within 3 seconds of footage.

Apple Mail Drop vs LimeShare: Mail Drop is slow, limited to iCloud accounts, and retains files for 30 days. LimeShare requires no account, transfers faster, and self-destructs on your schedule.

Best practices for sending MOV / ProRes Video

Send native MOV clips directly without exporting to MP4 if the recipient is an editor needing raw color space.
Use Chrome or Edge on desktop to stream multi-gigabyte MOV files directly to the filesystem.
Set an expiration of 24 hours to keep client review links tidy.

Frequently asked questions

Can I send iPhone 4K ProRes video files with LimeShare?

Yes. Select the MOV file directly from your Photos library or Files app on iOS. Files up to 3 GB transfer free with end-to-end encryption.

Does QuickTime color metadata survive the transfer?

Yes. Every single byte, color profile (Rec. 709, Rec. 2020, Apple Log), and audio track is preserved identically because files are encrypted as raw binary streams.
