Migrating from PostLab Classic to PostLab 2.0 is not hard, but it requires some considerations:
You need to replace Drive with a different service, like LucidLink, Amove, or Suite.
Make sure all team members have installed PostLab 2.0, and activated it using the license they either purchased themselves or you provided to them.
Starting with PostLab 2.0 is a clean slate, so keep the following in mind:
Your historic PostLab Classic data won't automatically be carried over into PostLab 2.0.
We offer a one-click solution for exporting the latest version of all you FCP and Premiere Pro Documents from PostLab Classic.
PostLab 2.0 can import multiple Documents at the same time, by selecting multiple items in the file browser upon import.
Drive migration is a manual process, which depends on your desires.
First, make sure you have updated PostLab Classic - download the latest release if needed.
Download all Documents as described .
Now, you have a full local backup of all your Documents.
If you have used Drive to share media and assets, you'll need to move that data to a new location. To do so, you can either use built-in feature, or , our media management app.
As an example, here's how to use OffShoot to migrate the data from your Drive to another location. Whether that's your new LucidLink filespace or a different location, the process is identical.
Download and install OffShoot

Set PostLab Drive as a Source, and your preferred new location as Destination
If you migrate directly from Drive to a new LucidLink Filespace, the transfer will likely fail at some point. This is expected, and caused by cache management. Simply hit the "Restart" button in OffShoot, and continue.
Click "Add Transfer"
In a Collection, use the + Add Document
button to add a Final Cut Pro library. In the file selector, hold the Command or Shift key to select multiple libraries for importing.
Premiere Pro projects are not yet supported in PostLab 2.0, but soon will be. Until then, it's best to store you Premiere Pro projects on your new LucidLink Filespace.
If you're continuing to work as a remote team, it's easiest to replace Drive with LucidLink. Sign up for a LucidLink trial using , create a Filespace, and install their client.
