    Cloud storage folders

    Synced or mounted storage · no cloud passwords in Studio

    OneDrive / SharePoint, Google Drive, Dropbox
    Sign in using the provider’s Windows client. Choose its synced folder as your watch folder or destination. Keep watched files downloaded and available offline.

    Amazon S3, Azure Blob, Google Cloud Storage and others
    Use an authenticated filesystem mount such as rclone + WinFsp. Mount a drive with VFS caching enabled, then select the drive’s folders in Studio. Mounts must stay connected and writable; cached directory listings can delay discovery.

    Credentials and completion
    The sync client or mounting tool manages credentials. Studio does not store provider passwords, keys or tokens. “Conversion complete” means the output was written locally or to the mount; it does not confirm cloud upload. Keep originals until the provider confirms sync. Deleting a source from a synced folder may also delete its cloud copy.

    Not selected
    Not selected

    The check lists the watch folder and creates, reads and deletes a small temporary file in the destination. Your cloud client may briefly sync that test file.

    Folder checks do not verify the provider’s cloud service or upload state.

    Performance & remote viewing

    Settings for this transcode PC

    One file converts at a time. FFmpeg runs separately from the interface. Queue estimates update as jobs progress and priorities change.
    Use a trusted private network. Connections use HTTP. Do not forward this port to the internet. Windows may ask you to allow access on private networks.

    Remote viewing is off.

    Copy an address and the code to the other PC. Filenames and conversion status are visible; full paths and detailed errors stay in Studio.

    Application details

    Windows portable · Electron · bundled FFmpeg/FFprobe. Third-party notices accompany this unsigned preview build.

    Preview clips cover up to 60 seconds; conversion uses the original. Log/HDR transforms, RAW development and camera-card reconstruction are not automatic.

    PORTABLE DATA LOCATION

    StudioData, beside the executable

    Keep this folder when upgrading to preserve preferences, rules and history.

    Combine source types?

    These schedules have identical conversion settings.

    You can add the new source types to an existing schedule instead of creating another. Its name, destination, quality and polling interval stay the same.

    Advanced output settings

    Recommended settings work for most files. These controls affect this schedule only.
