The Knotflix Mac app is a native uploader that gets multi-gigabyte wedding films from your edit drive into a private 4K client gallery — in resumable chunks that survive dropped Wi-Fi, sleep, and full restarts. It ships with the Studio plan, and it is the same app Red Bank Studio delivers its own weddings with every week.
Search that phrase and you get the same list every time: WeTransfer, Dropbox, Google Drive, maybe a Vimeo link. All of them genuinely work, and for pro-to-pro handoffs — footage to a second editor, a rough cut to a planner — a plain transfer link is still the right call. We use one for that ourselves.
But a finished wedding film is not a handoff, and at wedding sizes the cracks show. A multi-gigabyte export through a browser tab is an upload you babysit: the tab has to stay open, sleep kills it, and a hiccup at 96% sends you back to zero. And the couple’s side is worse — they receive a download, not a delivery, and the film of their life lands in a Downloads folder next to the tax PDFs.
The honest answer splits the question in two. Move working files with a transfer tool; deliver the finished film with something built to be watched. The Mac app handles the first half — getting the huge file up without drama — and the gallery it feeds handles the rest.
Drag the export into the app and it streams up in small confirmed chunks, tracking exactly how much has safely landed on the other side. Wi-Fi drops? It resumes. The Mac sleeps? It picks back up on wake. Quit the app — or restart the whole machine mid-file — and the queue is rehydrated on the next launch and continues from the last confirmed byte, not from zero.
That changes how delivery day feels. You start the queue and go edit something else, instead of nursing a progress bar and praying the connection holds. We push finished weddings through this exact app every week on ordinary studio broadband; the upload is a thing you start, not a thing you watch.
The app is the studio side of Knotflix, not just an upload box. Your projects sit in a sidebar: set one up for Saturday’s wedding, drag the films in, drop the photo sets into the same window.
Everything you have delivered stays browsable, and master files come back down as easily as they went up — pull an original export onto a new machine, or hand it to an editor without digging through archive drives. Delete is there too, for the test uploads and the wrong-version moments.
The part that makes the upload worth it: your couple never sees a file transfer. They open a private link — no account, no app, no password ritual — and the film streams in 4K on a dark, premiere-style page with your studio’s name on it. Parents get the same link forwarded and it just plays.
Your original export is kept as the master and stays downloadable, so nobody trades the real file away for a smooth player. Every gallery includes 90 days of hosting; when a couple extends it, half of every extension is paid out to your studio through Stripe.
The app is Developer ID-signed and Apple-notarized, so it installs like serious Mac software should: no Gatekeeper warnings, no right-click-to-open ritual, on your machine or a teammate’s.
The limits, plainly: it is macOS-only, and it comes with the Studio plan. On Solo — or on a Windows machine — you upload through the browser or connect Dropbox and import from there, and both feed exactly the same galleries. What you give up without the app is the restart-proof resumable queue, not any part of the delivery.

The upload queue is saved to disk. When the app relaunches, it checks how many bytes actually landed and continues from that point — not from zero. The same recovery covers dropped Wi-Fi, sleep, and quitting the app on purpose.
No. Both plans upload through the browser, and you can connect Dropbox and import films from there. The Mac app comes with the Studio plan and exists for the files where a browser tab gets nerve-wracking — multi-gigabyte exports you don’t want to babysit.
No — couples never install anything and never create an account. They open a private link and stream the film in 4K, and your original master file stays downloadable from the gallery for archiving.
Not today — it is a Mac app, built for the machines we edit on. Windows studios use the browser uploader or Dropbox import, which feed exactly the same galleries; the only thing missing is the restart-proof resumable queue.
