How We Solved Our Remote Video Collaboration Bottleneck

I’m not one to gatekeep, so here’s a tip that genuinely changed how we work.

At Righteous Fights, we’re big believers in remote work. Our team stretches coast to coast — editors in L.A., producers in D.C., crew across the Midwest, and collaborators everywhere in between.

But for all the upsides, distributed production has its challenges.

One of the biggest pain points we kept running into? The handoff — that moment when a video project needs to move from one editor to another.

If you’ve been there, you know the pain:

• Video files are massive. (Shipping drives is slow, expensive, and risky.)

• Schedules are unpredictable. (One last edit... just as your lead editor signs off.)

• It doesn’t scale well. (Bringing in new collaborators mid-project? Not easy.)

And all that friction adds up in time, in cost, and in lost momentum.

So how’d we fix it?

Shoutout to one of our close friends for introducing us to LucidLink, a tool that’s supercharged our post-production workflow.

We now host all our active projects in the cloud. With LucidLink:
✅ Editors can access shared media instantly — from anywhere
✅ Our files stay synced, always
✅ We can scale up or down depending on project needs

It may sound like Dropbox or Drive, but try editing 4K files from either of those and let me know how that goes.

We spent months tweaking the details of our workflow. Now that it’s dialed in, we’re not looking back.

LucidLink, we owe you lunch.
