Connecting MediaLab to Adobe Premiere Pro via FTP

MediaLab integrates seamlessly with video editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro and Avid. With Adobe Premiere’s FTP support, you can export media directly to your MediaLab environment.

Step 1: Set Up an FTP Connection in MediaLab

  1. Go to Settings in the upper-right corner.
  2. In the left menu, select FTP upload.
  3. Click the + (Add) button to create a new FTP profile.
  4. Adjust settings such as the target folder for uploads.
  5. Click Submit to save your profile.
  6. Click Activate to enable the connection. You’ll receive a one-time username and password — save this information securely.

Your FTP connection is now live and ready for use.

For more information, see FTP uploads.

Step 2: Configure FTP in Adobe Premiere Pro

  1. After editing your video, go to File → Export.
  2. Check the FTP option.
  3. Enter the credentials from your MediaLab FTP profile:
    • Username & Password – credentials from Step 1.
    • Server – default is ftp.medialab.app.
    • Port – default is 21.
    • Remote Path – usually not needed if already configured in MediaLab.
    • Retries – number of attempts if the connection fails.
    • Delete local file after uploading – optional, removes the file from your computer once uploaded.

If configured correctly, your media will now export directly from Premiere Pro to MediaLab via FTP.
