Lightweave separates “ready to watch” from “final and verified.” Notes can start on the proxy while the master is still landing — then the gold-standard copy arrives, proven exact.
A watchable proxy is ready almost instantly. Reviewers start immediately, on any device, no account.
The final ProRes or EXR arrives verified bit-for-bit — with a proof page you can keep on file.
Terabyte plates and full days of rushes move fast over parallel lanes — new bytes only.
Send the working tree — bins, renders, LUTs, and OTIO — with structure intact, in one link.
