Video production workflow
Every cut reviewed and approved in the browser.
Client proofing for videographers without exporting to WeTransfer or chasing notes over email. Footage encodes, plays in the browser, collects time-stamped feedback and records sign-off – all on the project.
The review loop is the job. Everything else is just files.
Shooting is the part everyone pictures. The part that actually eats a video project is the loop between “here's the cut” and “yes, that's the one” – and most studios run it on tools that were never built for it.
A 4GB export goes to WeTransfer. The link expires. Notes come back as “around 1:20 the music's a bit much” in an email, and “can we lose the drone shot” in a separate reply from someone else on the client side. You make both changes, export again, and now there are two files called final on your drive and one in their downloads folder. Nobody is certain which cut got approved, including you.
Why video studios use it
From rushes to delivered cut
Footage in one home
RAW, selects and final cuts live in the same project instead of three drives and a NAS you have to remember.
Plays without downloading
Uploads run through our Cloudflare Stream pipeline and encode automatically, so clients watch the cut right in their browser.
Feedback on the frame
Comments land on the exact moment and version, so notes are unambiguous and nothing gets lost in a chat thread.
Versions you can trust
Every export is a tracked version, so you always know which cut the client actually approved.
Sign-off on the record
Clients approve or request changes from the same screen, with an audit trail of who decided what, and when.
The business, handled
Scope the edit, quote the revisions and schedule the review call – the production and the deal in one place.
One cut, start to finish

The upload
You export once and drop it on the project. It runs through our Cloudflare Stream pipeline and encodes automatically, so what the client gets is a cut that plays in their browser – on a laptop, on a phone, on the train. No download, no codec, no “can you send a smaller version”.
The notes
They scrub to 1:20 and leave the comment there. It's attached to that timecode on that version, so you open it and go straight to the frame rather than reconstructing what they meant. If three people from the client side watch it, all three sets of notes land in the same place instead of three inboxes.
The next version
Export two goes up as version two. Version one doesn't disappear. When the client asks to see the earlier grade again, you both open the same thing.
Sign-off
Someone with authority approves version two, and that decision is on the record with a name and a time. That matters more in video than in stills, because the person who leaves notes is often not the person who signs off – and “I thought Marketing had approved it” is a genuinely expensive sentence.
Captions, versions and the stuff that breaks at delivery
Deliverables are where video projects go wrong late. Studioscope keeps subtitles with the cut they belong to, so an .srt file that came out of Resolve stays married to the export it was timed against rather than living in a folder called subs_final.
Every export is a tracked version. Unreleased cuts stay staff-only and show as Draft, so a work-in-progress grade can sit on the project without a client stumbling into it. You decide what gets released; until then it stays internal only.
Where you'll still want another tool
We're not a finishing-house review tool. If your work is frame-accurate conform and colour with a supervisor over a calibrated monitor, Frame.io's depth in that specific loop is real and we don't match it.
We're not production management for crewed shoots either. Call sheets, stripboards and scheduling a unit are a different machine, and Yamdu and farmerswife are built for it.
What we own is the client-facing half of a boutique studio: the project, the scope, the review loop, the sign-off and the invoice. If your review notes currently arrive by email, that's the part we'd fix.
