How to send a DNxHR file.
DNxHD and DNxHR are Avid's intermediate codecs, built for editing not for download. The files are huge. quik.space takes the MXF or MOV byte-for-byte and gives the recipient a link to download the original. No re-encoding, no remuxing, no quality loss.

What is a Avid DNxHD/DNxHR?
Avid DNxHD/DNxHR files use the .mxf, .mov extension and the application/mxf MIME type. The format sits in the video category. Typical files run 500 MB - 4 GB per minute, which is well above what most email services will accept as an attachment.
Why you can’t email a Avid DNxHD/DNxHR
DNxHD and DNxHR are intermediate codecs designed for editing, not for shipping over the internet. A 10-minute DNxHR HQ master can easily be 30 GB. Email is not in the conversation.Slack, Discord, and most other workplace tools have similar caps, often around 1 GB for free tiers and with aggressive per-channel storage limits. Even when the file fits, it counts against the recipient’s mailbox quota forever.
How quik.space handles Avid DNxHD/DNxHR
quik.space takes the MXF or MOV container with the DNxHR stream untouched. The recipient opens it in Avid, Premiere, or DaVinci Resolve and reads the same frames you exported. The share page renders an HTML5 video player for browser-native codecs, so the recipient can scrub and watch inline before downloading the original.
The file lives for 72 hours by default and then enters a 7-day grace period. We do not train AI on your files. We do not share them with third parties. After grace, the bytes are permanently purged from storage. Read the full policy on privacy.

Frequently asked
- Does the MXF container survive?
- Yes. We store the MXF bytes and serve them back identical. The recipient's NLE reads it as if it came directly off the SAN.
- Will Avid see this as a standard clip?
- Yes, if the MXF is an op-atom or op1a that Avid expects. quik.space does not alter the container.
- What about 5 GB+ DNxHR HQX masters?
- 5 GB is the hard ceiling. For multi-hour HQX masters, split or use DNxHR LB instead of HQ.
- Does quik.space change the timecode?
- No. Timecode track is preserved byte-for-byte.
