Video proofing
Video proofing your client will actually use.
“I couldn’t figure out where to comment, so I just emailed you.” Fourteen notes, and not one timecode.
Proofing works when your client actually does it. So the link opens like a video, not like software: your client presses play, pauses, types, and the note keeps the second.

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.
Made for the person who isn’t in post.
No account, no app
Your client opens the link in any browser, on a phone or a computer, and types a name with the first note.
Notes on the second
Your client pauses and types. The note lands on that moment, and you see it on the film.
Every round on the same link
Upload the next cut over the last one. Your client opens the same link and sees the new version, with the earlier rounds behind it.
What you get back.
One list of notes
Every note on the film, the photos and any PDF, each with its moment or its spot and the name of whoever left it.
A reply where it helps
Answer a note right under it. One level of replies, so nothing gets buried in a thread.
Markers in Final Cut
Download the notes for Final Cut Pro and they land on their frames as to-do markers.
Stills and PDFs in the same proof.
Photos and PDF pages take pinned notes and drawings, in the same list as the notes on the film. One proof for the whole job instead of one per file type.
Questions.
What is video proofing?
Video proofing is how your client reviews a cut before it’s final: watching it, leaving notes on what to change, and signing off. Here it all happens on one link: your client watches, leaves notes on the exact second, and presses Approve.
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.
Can my client approve the video?
Yes. Your client presses Approve and confirms once. The watermark comes off and the full-size film opens for download on the same link.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Free holds 5 GB with 1 hour of video and needs no card. Every feature is on every plan.
