The Sharing application from Limecraft allows you to easily and securely share individual clips or collections of material with third parties without granting them full access in your Workspace. Sharing settings allow you to give permission to download all or specific versions of the clips, to give feedback in the form of comments or approval, or to return modified versions.
The key advantages of using Limecraft for Sharing Video, instead of third party applications like WeTransfer, Dropbox or Frame.io, are that you avoid making unnecessary copies and that you're saving time by avoiding additional file transfers.

Sharing Clips, Subclips or Collections
Collaborate and share your content with external parties (not part of your production team) with the use of a shared link. Via the link, external collaborators have access to review, comment, download or upload content directly on Limecraft Workspace depending on your choices when creating the link.
You can share your content in the following three ways.
1. Sharing a clip
Share an individual clip from the selection of clip actions.
2. Sharing multiple clips
Share several clips by selecting them in the library and click the 'Share' function on top.
3. Sharing a collection and allowing uploading via the shared link
Share a collection by clicking on the coggwheel next to the collection to open the collection actions menu.
NOTE: When sharing a collection, you can give the access for collaborators to upload material and versions directly to the shared collection. Material is available in the collection on your Workspace as well as on the share page.
How to create a shared link?
Share material on Limecraft Workspace with the following easy steps.
1. Select material to share
Select material and the way to share it as shown above.
2. Generate a link for sharing
3. Determine the sharing settings
The first page of the sharing settings gives you the link, option to notify with an email and a text box to add further information. You can send an email via the dialog or copy the link and share in your prefered channel.
The second page allows you to configure the permissions and security settings.
- Enable the 'Review clips' permission so the receiving party can create comments. If you don't enable this, they won't see any comments nor will they be able to create them.
- If you want the receiving party to be able to download clips, enable the 'Download permission.
- Enable Upload clips (only available if you shared a collection).
- Enable the 'Approve clips' permission if you want the receiving party to be able to set the review status.
- Set a password for increased security.
- Set the date of link expiry for increased security.
- Require a name when opening a share link.
Asking for the name of the person allows you to identify who reviews or approves your content.
Review and edit past shared links
Users with workspace admin credentials are able to review and edit the shared links that have already been created in the past. If you notice that a mistake was made, for instance, with the permissions, it is possible to adjust them afterwards.
