Is Bundvera a file transfer tool?
No. Bundvera doesn’t move, upload or host your files. Keep sending them with a drive, a cloud folder, MASV, Frame.io, LucidLink or whatever you already use.
Bundvera does two things around the transfer: before it, it checks whether the project folder is complete; after it, it lets the recipient verify the copy they received against the sender’s manifest, independently of how the files travelled.
How is it different from Premiere Pro’s Project Manager?
Project Manager collects or consolidates a project’s media into a new location. Bundvera doesn’t replace it. If you want Premiere to gather and trim your media, run Project Manager first, then run Bundvera on the result to confirm every referenced file is present and to create a manifest the recipient can verify.
How is it different from MHL tools such as Hedge OffShoot or Pomfort Silverstack?
Those tools are excellent, and they’re built around camera-card offloads and media hash lists (ASC MHL), a standard many productions and labs already use.
Bundvera focuses on handing over an editing project: it reads the Premiere project to find media that isn’t in the folder, flags names that break between macOS and Windows, and gives the recipient a plain-language result. Its manifest is its own JSON format; it doesn’t export ASC MHL. If you already use MHL, keep using it.
Does the recipient need to pay?
No. Verifying a received delivery is free, without limits. Licenses are for senders who create manifests regularly.
Does Bundvera upload my files?
No. Scanning, fingerprinting, Premiere project reading and verification all run on your computer, without an account and without an internet connection.
If the check passes, will the project open?
Not necessarily. A pass proves that every listed file is byte-identical to what the sender scanned, and that the Premiere media references Bundvera could read point to files in the folder. It doesn’t prove the project opens or renders, or that fonts, effects and plugins are installed. Every receipt says so.
Which Premiere Pro versions are supported?
Premiere project reading is experimental. It has been validated against project files saved by Premiere Pro 2026 (version 26.x) on macOS. Projects from other versions are read, but marked as an unverified project version so you know to review the result. See the details.
What about After Effects, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro?
Bundvera verifies any folder: it lists every file, fingerprints it and lets the recipient check the copy. It doesn’t yet analyse the dependencies inside After Effects, Resolve or Final Cut Pro projects; that is planned, and the app reports it as not supported rather than guessing.
Is the manifest digitally signed?
No. A manifest carries an integrity digest that detects damage and casual editing, but it doesn’t prove who created it. Send the manifest through a channel you trust. More on security.
Which computers does it run on?
The private beta runs on macOS 13 or later and is developed and tested on Apple silicon Macs. An Intel Mac build exists but hasn’t been tested yet. A Windows version will follow once it has been tested on Windows. Platform status.
How do I get access?
Request an invitation by email with your Mac model, macOS version and the kind of projects you hand off. There is no public download yet, and requesting access doesn’t subscribe you to marketing emails.
