Frame.io Camera to Cloud uses full TPN+ and SOC 2 Type 2 compliant encryption. These global, industry-wide security standards define the requirements for protecting online content for any file that is transferred through a C2C connection. For more information, please visit this page.

You’ll find the option in the NETWORK/USB SETTING menu.

If this option is switched ON and you have an active internet connection, files will be transferred to Frame.io as they are created.

When the camera is turned off, images will continue to upload. This will be indicated by a flashing amber/green LED on the FT-XH File Transmitter grip.

A pairing code is created on the camera when you create a new C2C connection. It is generated as part of the connection process, then input into Frame.io to complete the connection. In order to connect the camera to a new project, in the Frame.io menu you can generate a new code via the connect menu.

A red blinking LED means the camera is searching for a connection, green means it is connected to a network. When files are transferring, the LED flashes amber and green.

If you need to change batteries in the grip, the connection is maintained. However it is dropped if you need to remove the grip to change the battery in the camera.

Unlike tethering, which requires a cabled connection, Frame.io Camera to Cloud is a direct connection to the internet. Tethering also means files can only be transferred to a single device, but with Frame.io Camera to Cloud, they’re uploaded to a platform that can be viewed on multiple machines or devices.

Currently, your camera will only remember the last WiFi connection.

There is no limit.

Frame.io Camera to Cloud does use more battery power. One option to reduce consumption is to only connect when you have a number of files ready to upload.

Compatibility is not guaranteed for cameras that have not been approved for Camera to Cloud.

No problem, switch memory cards as normal. However, any files currently queued will not complete if you are changing memory cards.

Yes, files are stored on your camera’s memory card.

In Frame.io, go to Add Project and make sure C2C Connections is switched on before creating the project. Then go to the C2C Connections tab and choose Add new device. Frame.io will then ask you to set the camera to the pairing mode, which is done when you connect the camera via WiFi. For more details, please visit HERE.

The pairing code generated by the camera is input into the C2C connections tab in your Frame.io C2C enabled project to complete the connection.

Uploaded files can only be accessed by people you choose to share your files with. You can choose to grant one of two types of access. A Team Member will be able to see your whole account and all the projects within it. A Collaborator can only view specific projects. For more information, please visit HERE.

In the Frame.io Camera to Cloud menu on your camera, go to RESET TRANSFER ORDER and then choose RESET.

In Frame.io, choose the C2C Connections tab, then click on the three horizontal dots next to the connected camera and choose Rename.

To permanently remove a camera, go to Frame.io, choose the C2C Connections tab. Click the three dots next to the camera name and select Forget.

You need an active internet connection to upload files to Frame.io Camera to Cloud.

There are multiple methods, including WiFi, smartphone tethering and Ethernet.

USB Smartphone Tethering is a cabled connection from camera grip to cell phone, which is then used to connect to C2C.

If connection is lost during file transfer, once re-established, files will continue to upload.

No, you cannot.

FTP is a file transfer protocol that connects directly to a file transfer server. C2C uses TLS that allows you to upload directly to Frame.io.

Wi-fi tethering has no relation to transferring files to Frame.io.

Make sure you are using compatible products (FUJIFILM X-H2 or X-H2S with FT-XH File Transmitter grip) with the latest firmware HERE.  You also need to ensure you are connected to Wifi, have charged batteries in both grip and camera, and have an enabled C2C Connection in the project you are trying to connect to.

This could be for a number of reasons. Check you have an active internet connection. If the LED on the FT-XH File Transmitter grip is flashing red, there is no connection. Note: when you first switch the camera on, it takes approx. 15 seconds for the camera to connect to a previous WiFi network, so wait to see if the LED changes from red to green. If the light is green, make sure that the type of file you’re trying to upload is selected – go to Frame.io Camera to Cloud menu, then SELECT FILE TYPE and tick required file formats. Make sure auto file transfer is selected – go to Frame.io Camera to Cloud menu, select UPLOAD SETTING and make sure AUTO IMAGE TRANSFER ORDER is ON. Finally, if you turn camera off while transferring, make sure the option is selected for files to continue to transfer. To do this, go to Frame.io Camera to Cloud, then UPLOAD SETTING and make sure IMAGE TRANSFER WHILE POWER OFF is ON.

This is most likely to be your internet connection, but could also be due to the file type you’re uploading. Video files or Raw still images will take longer to upload than proxy files or JPEG or HEIF files.
