RecReview vs LucidLink
LucidLink is where the project files live. RecReview is where the cuts get reviewed and approved.
LucidLink streams large project files to every editor's machine as if they were local. RecReview handles what comes after the edit: review, client approval, the project board and delivery. Many teams use both.

Who should stay on LucidLink
Keep LucidLink if your editors work from shared project files in different places. RecReview doesn't replace a shared drive for editing; it takes the exported cut from there to the client.
Most teams that compare the two end up keeping both.
Frequently asked questions
Can RecReview replace LucidLink?
No. RecReview stores files for review and delivery, but it isn't a shared drive your editing app works from. If editors cut from shared project files, keep LucidLink.
How do teams use the two together?
Editors work from LucidLink, export the cut and upload it to RecReview, or let the RecReview Mac app pick it up from a watched folder. Review, approval and delivery happen in RecReview.
Is there a direct integration between them?
Not today. The Mac app watched folders cover most of it, and webhooks let you automate the rest.
