Delivering video to clients

How do I send a video that's too big for email?

To send a video that is too big for email, upload it once to a video delivery platform and email the client a link instead of the file.

To send a video that is too big for email, upload it once to a video delivery platform and email the client a link instead of the file. Email attachments cap out at around 25MB, which is a few seconds of good-quality footage, so the file itself should never travel by email.

The link approach solves three problems at once. There is no size ceiling to worry about, the client can watch the film in their browser before deciding to download, and you keep a record of when the file was collected instead of hoping the attachment arrived.

Transfer services will move a large file too, but the link expires, the client gets no playback, and the experience carries someone else's brand. For a paid deliverable, a gallery link that stays live as long as you decide is the better tool.

With DLVRD you upload the master, arrange the gallery, and paste one link into your email. The client streams instantly, downloads the original if they want it, and you are notified when they do.
