For YouTube editors
Client review for YouTube editors.
“Can you cut the bit where I trip over the sponsor read?” Somewhere in 22 minutes, sent as a voice memo.
You cut a video a week, and the creator reviews it between shoots, on a phone. Here the edit and the thumbnail options sit on one link, the creator’s notes land on the exact second, and the final downloads from the same page.
Free up to 5 GB. No card.
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 from a phone, on the second.
Pause and type
The creator pauses where something needs to change and types. The note keeps its second, so the sponsor read is at 6:41, not “somewhere in the middle”.
Find the line in the transcript
Every film is transcribed, so you can search for a word and jump to where it’s said.
The same link every round
Upload the next cut over the last. The creator opens the same link and the new version is there.
Pick the thumbnail on the same page.
Upload the thumbnail options as photos beside the edit. The creator hearts the one they want, or pins a note on the face, the words or the color, in the same list as the notes on the video.
Captions ready to upload.
Fix a line in the transcript and download the captions as SRT or VTT, ready to upload with the video.
A channel is a client.
Make the channel a client and each video a project, so last month’s edits stay easy to find and each new one has its own link. Solo is $20 a month with 1 TB and 15 hours of video. Video hours count the films you keep, so clear out old cuts you no longer need.
Questions.
How do I get feedback from a YouTuber on an edit?
Send one link the creator can open on a phone, where every note sticks to the second it’s about. Voice memos and texts lose the timecode, and you end up scrubbing to find what they meant.
Can the creator pick a thumbnail?
Yes. Upload the options as photos beside the edit. The creator hearts the favorite or pins a note on the one that needs a change.
Can I download captions for YouTube?
Yes. Every film is transcribed, and you download the captions as SRT or VTT after fixing any line.
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.
What does it cost?
There’s a free plan with 5 GB of room and 1 hour of video, no card needed. Solo is $20 a month with 1 TB and 15 hours of video, and Studio is $59 a month for a team. Every feature is on every plan.
