Video review & approval

Notes that land on the frame.

Send a link. No login, no account, no explaining. The client pins a comment to a spot on the still, a moment in the cut, or a page of the PDF, draws on the frame when words are slow, and approves on the record.

The client review portal: a hero frame with numbered comment pins and the comment rail beside it.

The problem

Feedback arrives as 'the logo feels off' in an email, three texts and a phone call, about a file called final_v3_new. Nobody knows which frame they meant, which version they saw, or whether it was ever actually approved.

01

Comments with coordinates

Every note lands where it belongs, so 'fix this' has a this.

  • Numbered pins on stills; timecode and range comments on video
  • PDFs get pins page by page, with zoom that re-renders instead of blurring
  • Drawn markup: arrows, boxes, ellipses, freehand, five colors
  • Threaded replies, reactions, edit and delete on your own notes
02

A player made for judging work

The video canvas behaves like the review tools editors already respect, without the seat price.

  • Playback speed, loop, broadcast timecode, frame stepping, J-K-L shuttle
  • Rule-of-thirds and safe-area guides
  • Crop masks for 1:1, 4:5 and 9:16: does the product survive the cutdown
  • Download the exact frame you are arguing about
03

Versions with memory

Every round keeps its notes, and the open round is always explicit.

  • Switch versions inside the portal; older rounds are clearly read-only
  • Side-by-side compare for stills: before and after a revision
  • Approve or request changes in one click, timestamped, on the record
  • Internal team sign-off runs separately, before the client ever sees it

The difference

A link, not a login.

The fastest way to kill a review round is asking a brand manager to create an account. Here the client clicks, types their name, and reviews. The crop masks are the other tell: every commercial job ships social cutdowns now, and 'does it survive the 9:16 crop' comes up in every session.

  • Zero client onboarding, on every plan, forever
  • Feedback flows back into the project, attributed and pinned
  • Approvals are records with timestamps, not vibes in a thread

Logo drifts here. Can it hold to the safe area?

More review can do

Due dates

Set a respond-by date; the portal shows it, amber then red.

Automatic reminders

Overdue reviews get a nudge, capped and spaced, stopping on response.

Batch review

Send a set of options and get back stars, notes, and one pick per reviewer.

Doc review

Shot lists, storyboards, moodboards and props run through the same canvas.

Client binder

One link holding everything you tick, and nothing you do not.

Filter and search

The comment rail filters open versus resolved, sorts by timecode, searches text.

Reactions

A curated emoji set, because sometimes the note is just agreement.

Notifications

Every client action lands in the studio's bell, attributed.

Stable viewing

The review canvas holds a neutral ground; the theme never shifts under artwork.

Also here

Lives alongside it.

Each of these is a page inside the project, on the same spine, so nothing is retyped between them.

Client binder

Everything the client asked to see, on one link.

  • A checklist over the project: everything is off until you say so
  • Boards, shot lists, call sheets and contacts, rendered as approved
  • One link for the client, one PDF when they want paper
