Montage Help CenterBig files
Add your footage as big as it comes. Here is how a big file goes up, what to do when the connection drops, and how much room your plan gives.
Written by Ben (Founder) · Updated November 6, 2026How a big file goes up
Your file is sent in small pieces, several at a time. Its row shows how much is up, measured: « 1.2 of 4.8 GB ». Once it is all up, Montage prepares it, and you can leave the page.
Keep the page open while it uploads. If you try to leave while a file is going up, Montage asks first.
When the connection drops
- The row says « Upload stopped at 42% · the connection dropped, nothing is lost ».
- Press Resume. The upload starts again from the pieces already up.
- The row says « picked up where it stopped » while it finishes.
If the page was closed or reloaded during an upload, the file says « The upload was cut. Drop the file again. »
How much room you have
| Plan | Footage space |
|---|---|
| Free | 2.5 GB |
| Plus | 50 GB |
| Pro | 125 GB |
| Max | 250 GB |
| Ultra | 500 GB |
Only the files you bring count, at their own size. The copies Montage makes of them do not.
When your space is full, a new file says « Not added · your space is full ». Delete footage you no longer need, then add these again. Delete footage.
Very big files: the Mac app
With the app, your originals never go up: the app prepares them on your computer and sends only the small file to watch while you edit. On the web and on Mac.
Questions
Is there a size limit for one file?
No limit of its own: a file goes in as long as your workspace has space left.
How long will it take?
It depends on your connection. The row shows what is up and what is left, as it goes.
Can I add several big files at once?
Yes. Drop them all: two go up at a time, the others wait their turn.
