How to upload to Frame.io with MASV

MASV integrates with Frame.io

MASV is a powerful tool for transferring large files directly to Frame.io. Integrating is a snap—simply connect your Frame.io account with MASV on the Integrations page and then link it to your Portal(s).

Steps include:

• Create a Frame.io API token to use with MASV
• Integrate MASV with Frame.io
• Connect MASV Portals to Frame.io

Create a Frame.io API token for MASV

To create a secure connection between MASV and Frame.io, use a Frame.io API token (also referred to as a Developer Token). As a Frame.io account Owner, Admin, or Regular Member, you can request a token from the Frame.io Developer website. When creating the token, be sure to set the permissions outlined in the instructions below—transfers can’t happen without correct permissions.

To create a Frame.io API token for MASV

1. Do one of the following:

   • In Frame.io, from the Account menu in the upper-left corner, select Apps & integrations, then select Tokens from the sidebar.

   • In your browser, go to  https://developer.frame.io/, and from the Developer Tools menu, select Tokens.
2. On the Tokens page, select Create a Token.
3. On the Create a new API Token page, type a meaningful name in the Description box.
4. Select the following checkboxes to set permissions:
   • Accounts: Read
   • Teams: Read
   • Projects: Read
   • Assets: Create, Read, Update, Delete
5. Select the Submit button at the bottom of the page.
6. On the Tokens page, copy the token and store it in a secure location.

Integrate MASV With Frame.io

With the Frame.io API token, you can create a secure connection to MASV in the MASV Web App.

To integrate Frame.io with MASV

1. In the MASV Web App, as a Team Owner, Admin, or Integration Manager (roles),  select Integrations from the sidebar on the left.
2. On the Integrations page, select the Available Integrations tab, and select Frame.io.
3. In the Add Integration window, type a meaningful name in the Connection Name box. For example, Frame.io Project A.
4. In the Developer Token box, paste the Frame.io API token that you copied and saved previously, and select Verify. A green checkmark indicates that the token is valid.
5. In the Add Integration window, select the account, team, and project settings for your Frame.io connection. These fields correspond to the fields in Frame.io (see image below for reference).
   1. Choose an Account: Your Frame.io account.
   2. Choose a Team: The Frame.io Team you want to connect.
   3. Choose a Project: The Frame.io project you want to deliver files to.
6. (Optional) In the Target Directory box, type a Frame.io directory name (new or existing). If nothing is entered, MASV creates a default directory in Frame.io (Portal Downloads/{Portal name}).
7. In the Add Integration window, select the Connect button to complete the integration.
8. To verify the connection, on the Integrations page, select the My Integrations tab, refresh the page, and confirm that Frame.io appears in the integrations list with Status indicating OK.

Connect MASV Portals to Frame.io

Now you’re ready to send files to Frame.io with MASV Portals. You can use an existing Portal or create a new Portal. For more information, see How to create, edit, or delete a Portal. The instructions below connect an existing Portal.

To enable the Frame.io connection for a MASV Portal

1. In the MASV Web App, select Request Files with Portals in the sidebar.
2. On the Request Files page, select the Portal you want to use. In the Actions column, select the vertical dots icon ︙ ,  and choose Edit from the menu.
3. On the Edit Portal page, select the Integrations tab, and in the Status column select the toggle beside the Frame.io connection you want to enable.

4. At the bottom of the page, select the Save button to apply your changes.

That's it! Your integration is ready to use. Now every time files are delivered using the Portal, MASV automatically transfers those files to Frame.io. Files are sent to the corresponding Frame.io Project in the Portal Downloads folder or the optional Target Directory location you specified for the integration. 

Create, edit, delete MASV Portals and Integrations as needed, according to what you need for each project.
