# 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.

### 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.
