Connect Frame.io and send images to Lightroom

Learn how to connect and access Frame.io images directly in Lightroom

The Frame.io connection to Lightroom lets users directly link a Frame.io Version 4 project to an Adobe Lightroom account, allowing image transfer across Lightroom desktop, web, and mobile platforms.

With Frame.io’s Camera to Cloud (C2C) technology, users can automatically transfer images to Lightroom once they upload them to Frame.io. This setup supports multiple cameras connecting to individual Frame.io projects and multiple Frame.io projects linking to the same Lightroom account.

There are two types of image transfers:

  1. Automatic Transfer: This applies to images uploaded through C2C, automatically copying them to Lightroom.
  2. Manual Transfer: Allows users to select specific images in Frame.io for transfer to Lightroom.

Visit the Camera to Cloud section on the Frame.io website to learn more and check to see if your camera is eligible. You can also see Getting Started with Camera to Cloud to learn all about Frame.io Camera to Cloud.
