For music video directors
Client review for music video directors.
“The artist loves it. The label has notes. Management has different notes.” Three emails, one cut.
A music video has more people signing off than most jobs: the artist, the manager, the label, sometimes a commissioner. Here they all watch the same cut on one link, and every note lands on the second it’s about, with the name of whoever left it.

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.
Every voice on one cut.
Notes with names
Everyone opens the same link and types a name on their first note, so you can see which notes are the label’s and which are the artist’s.
On the beat
Notes keep their second, so “the cut after the second chorus” becomes 2:14.
Tag who should answer
Type @ in a note to tag someone. They get an email and can read and answer the note without signing in.
Every version of the release.
A release can need a clean version, an explicit version, a vertical teaser and a performance cut. Upload them side by side or in folders, and each one takes its own notes and its own rounds.
Rounds nobody mixes up.
Upload the new cut over the last. Everyone’s link stays the same, the film says which round it is, and the earlier rounds are a tap away, so nobody sends notes on an old cut.
Approval, then the master.
When the cut is signed off, your client presses Approve. The watermark comes off and the full-size master opens for download on the same link. Stills from the set can sit on the same page for the press kit.
Questions.
Can the label and the artist both leave notes?
Yes. Share the link with everyone who needs a say. Each person types a name on their first note, so every note says who left it.
Can I keep the video private before release?
Yes. The link isn’t listed anywhere public, you can lock it with a password or an expiry date, and the film carries a watermark until your client approves.
Do the notes go into my editor?
Into Final Cut Pro, as to-do markers on the frames your client noted. Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve aren’t supported yet; for those, download a spreadsheet or a plain timecode list.
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.
Whose name is at the top of my client’s page?
Yours. Your logo, name and colors sit at the top of your client’s page on every plan, Free included. The link itself is on dropyourfiles.com.
