MXTHE EXCHANGE IN CONTEXT
Give the handoff some context.
Footage and production files move between editors, post-production teams and clients. A named delivery with an agreed package list is easier to manage than a chain of informal transfers.
MX provides a route for sensitive business files between named recipients. Match access conditions to the purpose of the exchange and use the available activity record to support follow-up. Keep the underlying approval and information-handling decisions in your own process.
WHERE THE WORKFLOW HELPS
The moments that need a handoff.
Post-production handoffs
Include project files, references and relevant dependencies for the receiving team.
Final masters
Deliver the agreed masters and supporting documents to the authorised distributor or client.
A HANDOFF, IN PRACTICE
The right files.
The full context.
A production is moving from one specialist team to another. Select the files for that production stage rather than exporting every working asset. Include the agreed technical specifications and a manifest that makes missing items visible before the next team begins work.

A POSSIBLE PACKAGE
- ✓Approved media files
- ✓Delivery manifest
- ✓Technical and editorial notes
INTENDED RECIPIENT
The receiving production or post-production lead
A USEFUL RESULT
The receiving team can reconcile the manifest, open the media and identify the correct production version.
MAKE THE FIRST EXCHANGE COUNT
Test the details.
Then repeat with confidence.
Use the example package as a starting point for a small, representative trial. Agree the success criteria with the person who will actually receive the files.
Check completeness
Approved media files should be easy to identify in the inventory. Open the delivery copy independently of your working folder to catch missing files or local dependencies.
Walk through access
Test with the intended recipient role and receiving environment. Confirm the access conditions, the instructions and the route for getting help.
Agree what success means
The receiving team can reconcile the manifest, open the media and identify the correct production version. Record any remaining questions before making the exchange part of routine work.
FROM PREPARATION TO RECEIPT
Give each exchange
a clear sequence.
Use Episode-Delivery-Masters.zip as an example of a defined package. Replace it with the approved files and instructions for your actual task.
Explore the MX feature set ↗- 01
Confirm the purpose and recipient
Check who is entitled to receive the information. Record the business purpose through your normal approval process before assembling the package.
- 02
Prepare an approved package
Choose the required files, check their versions and remove unrelated information. Include concise instructions so the recipient knows what to do next.
- 03
Apply the access conditions
Confirm authentication, availability and any download conditions for your service. MX's existing features include named access, MFA and configurable expiry controls.
- 04
Review the exchange
Check the recorded activity and follow up through the agreed process. Keep the exchange reference with the project or client record it supports.
DEFINE THE BOUNDARY
Check the fit
before the first file.
Check codecs, package structure and music or contributor rights before sending. Transfer time still depends on the connection and the receiving workflow.
Assess the controls against a representative package and recipient. Confirm any mandatory capability, contract term or deployment requirement with the MX team before relying on it.

What to know
before you begin.
Questions about file sharing for media and production and the exchange workflow.
What should be checked before sending a media package?+
Confirm the codec, frame rate, resolution and required audio or subtitle tracks. Test the package in the receiving workflow; the transfer itself does not confirm editorial approval or technical compliance.
Does MX replace media review or transcoding tools?+
MX handles the file handoff. Playback review, frame-level annotation, transcoding and media asset management should be assessed in your production tooling.
How should we prepare the files?+
Assemble the media needed by the next production stage. Check the approved version, any required dependencies and the recipient's ability to use the package. Include only the material needed for the purpose.
What should we verify during a trial?+
Test a representative exchange from sender preparation to recipient access. Check authentication, permissions, expiry behaviour and the activity available afterwards. Include the actual file types and recipient environment you expect to use.
Does an access expiry remove downloaded copies?+
Do not assume expiry deletes a recipient's local copy. Agree post-download handling and retention responsibilities, and confirm the precise behaviour of the service configuration you plan to use.
Where can we check product details and commercial terms?+
Use the current MX product information and confirm the proposed service with the team. Review the plans and pricing alongside your actual users, workflow and deployment requirements.
