For freelance video editors
Client feedback for freelance video editors.
“Few small tweaks.” It’s round four, the quote said two, and the invoice is waiting on “looks good”.
As a freelancer, every unclear note costs you hours you don’t bill. Here your client’s notes land on the exact second, the rounds show on the link, and Approve is a button your client presses, so you know when to send the invoice.

What your client does on the link.
Your client watches
Your client opens the link on a phone or a computer and watches the film, with the photos right beside it. No account, no app to install.
Your client points at what to change
Your client pauses and types, and the note sticks to that second of the film. On a photo or a PDF page, your client taps the exact spot, and can draw on it.
Your client approves
When it’s right, your client presses Approve and confirms once. The watermark comes off. On a job with photos and film, your client can approve each one separately.
Your client downloads the finals
The full-size files open for download on the same link, one by one or all at once. You don’t send anything new.
Notes you can cut from.
On the second
Your client pauses and types, and the note keeps its timecode and your client’s name.
Into Final Cut
Download the notes for Final Cut Pro and each lands on its frame as a red to-do marker. Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve aren’t supported yet; for those, download a spreadsheet or a plain timecode list.
One level of replies
Answer a note right under it, so a question about a note doesn’t turn into a thread.
Rounds your client can count.
Each new cut goes up over the last on the same link, and the film says which round your client is looking at. Put the number of rounds in your quote, and when round three arrives, you both see it.
Approval you can invoice on.
When the cut is right, your client presses Approve and confirms once. You get an email, the project shows it as approved, and the full-size file opens for your client on the same link. That’s the moment to send the invoice.
A price for one person.
Free holds 5 GB and 1 hour of video, with no card. Solo is $20 a month for 1 TB and 15 hours of video, with photos on the same link when a job has them. If you cut video and nothing else and want the most room for the money, a review tool made for video alone can cost less; the comparisons below have the numbers.
Questions.
What’s a good video editing feedback tool for freelancers?
One your client can use without an account, that keeps each note on its second, and that tells you clearly when the cut is approved. DropYourFiles does all three on one link and has a free plan.
Can I bring projects over from Frame.io?
Yes. Connect your Frame.io account, or drop in a download of the project with its comments export, and the files and comments come across, matched by name.
Can my client see the earlier cut?
Yes. When you upload a new cut over the last one, the earlier rounds stay behind it, and your client can open them from the film.
Does my client need an account?
No. Your client opens the link in any browser, on a phone or a computer, and types a name the first time they leave a note. There’s nothing to sign up for and no app to install.
