New in Frame.io: Deeper Automation, Stronger Security, and Smarter Mobile Search
Frame.io unveils scale‑driven updates that boost automation, security, and mobile search. New flexible watermark controls, advanced Zapier automation, MASV server‑to‑server transfers for enterprises, and iOS media intelligence search help teams find and protect media faster on the go.
January brought a set of Frame.io product updates focused on scale—helping teams automate more of their workflows, protect work with greater confidence, and find the right media faster, even when they’re away from their desk.
From expanded Zapier automations to enterprise-grade transfer workflows, new watermark controls, and media intelligence on iOS, these updates make Frame.io more powerful across the entire lifecycle of creative work.
Here’s what’s new.More flexible watermark settings for secure media sharing
More flexibility and control for your watermarks
Watermarks are a critical part of protecting work—especially when assets are shared beyond your immediate team.
This update introduces more flexible watermark settings, giving teams greater control over how and when watermarks are applied across projects and Share Links:- A new watermark settings panel to manage how watermarks appear across your assets
- Toggle watermark visibility on or off per asset
- Adjust watermark placement and behavior to better suit different review scenarios
Whether you’re reviewing early cuts, sharing work externally, or preparing sensitive content for approval, watermarking can now be tailored more precisely to match your workflow—helping safeguard creative work without getting in the way of collaboration.
Go further: Frame.io Senior Product Manager Adam Whitaker shows how watermarking in Frame.io helps creative teams preserve context and security in modern production →
Advanced automation with Zapier (v1.3.3) for creative workflows
Advanced automation with Zapier (v1.3.3) for creative workflows
Frame.io’s Zapier integration just took a major step forward.
With the new custom API call action powered by the official Frame.io SDK, users can now access over 50 Frame.io API methods directly inside Zapier. This unlocks highly customized workflows that go far beyond standard triggers and actions.
Instead of waiting for one-size-fits-all automation, teams can now:- Create complete project structures programmatically—workspaces, projects, folders, and team assignments—all triggered by events in other tools.
- Update metadata at scale across multiple assets based on workflow states in connected apps.
- Access every Frame.io resource: accounts, workspaces, projects, folders, files, shares, comments, and more.
- Build bespoke workflows tailored to how their organization actually works.
Behind the scenes, this release also includes a full authentication overhaul with upgraded platform infrastructure and enhanced error detection. This significantly improves reliability for production-critical Zaps across the board.
The result?
Deeper automation, workflows that just work, and more confidence when Frame.io becomes part of your operational backbone.
Server-to-server transfers with MASV for large media workflows
Server-to-server transfers with MASV for large media workflows
For enterprise teams moving massive amounts of media, automation and security need to work together.
MASV now supports server-to-server (S2S) transfers for Adobe-managed Enterprise accounts, making it possible to move high-volume assets directly into Frame.io with a “set it and forget it” mentality.
This is especially useful for large organizations that manage users, permissions, and access centrally through the Adobe Admin Console.
This unlocks:- Fully automated ingest pipelines for large file transfers
- Cloud-first production workflows across multiple teams in your organization
- Security that adheres to the Adobe Admin Console governance and permissions
Large production teams can now move assets at scale while maintaining strict security controls—reducing friction without compromising oversight.
Media intelligence mobile search on iOS
Media intelligence mobile search on iOS
Finding the right shot shouldn’t have to wait until you’re back at your desk.
Search powered by media intelligence is available on iOS, bringing powerful visual search to mobile workflows. Teams can search media based on what’s actually in the content—objects, scenes, and visual details—not just filenames or metadata.
What’s new in this update:- Search results on iOS now provide richer context, showing not just which asset matched your query, but why—including the specific shots, fields, and comments associated with that match.
This makes it easier to: - Quickly locate specific shots while on set or in transit
- Review and reference assets during meetings with clearer context
- Move faster when decisions need to happen now—not later
It’s the same intelligent search experience—now optimized for mobile, with clearer insight into every result.
Built to scale with your workflow
Built to scale with your workflow
Each of these updates is designed to remove friction as teams grow—whether that’s scaling automation, tightening security, or making work easier to find wherever you are.More to come soon.

Watermarking: You Don’t Think About It—Until You Need It
Frame.io rolls out workspace-enforceable watermarking with granular permissions that protect shared work without slowing teams. Watermarks travel with the file across workspaces, adapt to viewer roles, and stay on downloads, keeping context and IP safe wherever work moves.
Most creative teams don’t think about watermarking until they really, really need it.
Not necessarily because something went wrong—but because something moved faster than expected.
Imagine you’re a producer working with external agencies. Multiple vendors. Multiple review links. Tight timelines.- A link gets forwarded.
- A file gets downloaded.
- A clean version surfaces outside the expected group.
No one is acting maliciously. But suddenly, the work has lost its context.
Which version is this? Who shared it? Why does the client think this is final?
This is why Frame.io has watermarking.
Watermarking doesn’t accuse anyone. It quietly answers the question already hanging in the room:
‘Where did this come from?’
Creative work moves fast—and travels far.
Files are shared. Assets circulate. Context and ownership doesn’t always come along for the ride.
Watermarking carries that context with the work:- This is a work in progress.
- This belongs to a specific workspace.
- This wasn’t meant to be public.
It’s not a lock or a warning.
It’s the signal that keeps content protected and expectations clear without slowing anyone down.
Designed for how teams actually work
Designed for how teams actually work
Not every project carries the same level of risk.
Frame.io’s watermarking is now workspace-enforceable and can be granularly applied using our permission-based model.Admins can define where it applies, who sees it, and what the rules are for shares, enforcing different rules across workspaces.
Highly sensitive content? Watermarking can be turned on for everyone (including admins and owners).Less sensitive assets? Apply watermarking just to viewers and commenters, while allowing your editors to work freely with originals.
Watermarks can be static or session-based, adapting to the viewer. Even on downloads, content remains protected—keeping creative work and IP safe, no matter where it travels.Quiet, reliable protection beats loud rules
Quiet, reliable protection beats loud rules
Granular-permission watermarking
The best form of content protection doesn’t slow you down.
Watermarking in Frame.io works like a seatbelt:- It’s always there.
- It enforces protection based on your permission without interrupting your access.
- It keeps content safe as it moves faster than ever.
Not a gate. Not a warning. Just context and protection that travels with the work.

Work Smarter with Acrobat and Express: Turn your docs into presentations and podcasts — and edit your PDFs with AI
Adobe launches an AI powered productivity suite in Acrobat and Express with Generate presentation, AI chat for PDFs, Generate podcast, and PDF Spaces collaboration. Create polished decks, edit PDFs via chat, and collaborate in Acrobat Studio for scalable workflows.
Generate a standout presentation from your documents with AI in minutes
With the new Generate presentation feature in Acrobat, you can now ask AI to generate an outline from the information in your files and then create a polished presentation — quickly and without being an expert in presentation design.
Let's say you’re a small business owner who needs to land a new client. Bring your information — financial reports, product sheets, competitive intel and web pages — into PDF Spaces, an AI-powered knowledge hub within Acrobat that allows you to uncover actionable insights from files and links and collaborate easily with others. Ask AI Assistant to analyze the information and make a pitch deck that includes the client’s top pain points, and how your company can help.
AI Assistant quickly creates an outline and asks if you’d like to generate a presentation. You can choose the length of your presentation and the tone of voice. Behind the scenes, Acrobat taps into the quick and easy tools of Adobe Express and surfaces a library of professional presentation designs to choose from. Select the design you want, and presto — Adobe Express generates a draft. Without leaving Acrobat, you can use the intuitive tools and AI in Express to make any edits you’d like — without needing to generate new slides. Swap out an image or add a video by generating a new one or choosing one from Adobe Stock. Easily change fonts, rewrite copy and even animate your final slide to really make the ending pop. Then invite your team to make final edits, apply your brand kit for a consistent look and feel — and you’re ready to close the deal. You can also create a presentation directly in Express. Learn more about Generate presentation here.
Edit your PDFs with chat
New, chat-based AI in Acrobat gives you a smarter, faster way to complete essential PDF tasks with simple, natural-language prompts. Using AI Assistant, you can remove pages, text, comments and images, find and replace words and phrases, add e-signatures and passwords and more. And the enhanced Help Panel offers clear, step-by-step instructions and troubleshooting support via chat.
Do meeting prep from anywhere with personalized podcasts
For anyone who struggles to digest the mountains of emails, attachments and links they receive, or catch up on the meetings they've missed, the new Generate podcast feature in Acrobat is for you. Simply pull your notes, transcripts and that 500+ page report your boss sent over into a PDF Space and ask AI Assistant to summarize the information into an engaging podcast-style summary you can use to prep for your big meeting from your desk, in your car or walking your dog.
The Generate podcast feature in Acrobat can help you keep up and learn in your personal life, too. For example, turn educational guides into hand-free audio lessons about gardening. Keep up with local and world events with a daily news podcast designed just for you. Consolidate school newsletters, event calendars, and permission slips into a quick weekly audio update, to help keep your family organized while you’re on the go.
Collaborate better together in Acrobat
In addition to using PDF Spaces to organize materials and get insights for your own projects, you can also leverage PDF Spaces as a place to work smarter with your colleagues or clients. With new collaboration features in PDF Spaces, you can now invite others to add files, leave notes, or gather comments, helping accelerate understanding and ensuring every project drives fast, clear decisions.
