Frame.io Reviews

Love the quick conversions, the ability to comment and draw over the video with timecodes, Premiere integration, and finally the sharable ability for clients to view/comment..

The UI is buggy and not the best layout. This is a start-up and will have these issues fixed hopefully.

I also don't like the space allotted and the amount of users you can add.

I understand this is a community as well but I've been invited to view projects by other production companies on accident in NYC that also use Frame.

It's your best option. You'll save so much time when working remotely as an editor with your client or coworkers that aren't in the same room.

Being able to keep on the same page with revising. I've convinced Vox and now Wirecutter at NYT to start using Frame by using my personal account. It's the best out there.

The feature that allows reviewers to comment on the exact timecode of a video is very helpful for editors who are constantly dealing with mismatched timecode notes from clients or collaborators. It's by far the biggest reason why I use Frame.io and I'm looking forward to trying it out as an add-on to Premiere Pro.

I dislike that links break when you move videos into different folders. I also dislike that when I select and share multiple videos, they aren't displayed in a list format for the reviewer.

We're increasing efficiency and enabling better communication between the collaborators of a project by eliminating lengthy, confusing email chains. We've noticed a quicker turnaround due to removing that extra step and ensuring everyone is on the same page with feedback.

I like the fact Frame.io works with a variety of codes, from standard h.264 and ProRes to more common acquisition codecs, such as a variety of XAVC codecs. Additionally, the timestamped comments are a great way of giving feedback on projects or footage by people who aren't in the same location as you. I have used Frame.io with teams across the globe, as well as local teams - it works great for both applications.

As a smaller user of Frame.io, I find the pricing quite a steep hill to climb over. I wish Frame.io offered lower end or free solutions for smaller, occasional users.

Frame.io solves a lot of communication issues, where it would be a challenge to get on the same page in the project. Frame.io allows for frame-accurate timestamps which make communication so much easier.

The best thing they have is the integration with Adobe Premiere, which makes it easy to show the videos in progress to my teammates and clients without having to waste time exporting and uploading to other platforms. I can receive the feedback directly and keep working. Not to mention how easy it is to integrate with the folders on our mac to make the workflow even easier.

The email notification system can be improved. - Sometimes the comments take a while to appear to other users, which can force you to move the conversation elsewhere if you're in a hurry.

It's really great to have the barrier between me and the client because they can leave notes right in the program at the exact timecodes needed.

I love the integration with Premiere, the Timecoded notes, and the ability to add as many collaborators as you could possibly want. I like the look, feel, and ease of use of the app as well. The folders and teams systems all make a lot of sense.

I dislike the slowness of the app, and some of the visuals. I'd prefer different visual options to sort that look more like standard folder systems. I also don't like how often a link can lead you straight to the main page and then you have to navigate to the video you were looking for. Often, the way to add collaborators is a bit confusing as well.

It's a great choice-- you will just need to be careful to limit your file sizes and numbers of users. I highly recommend this product overall. They are also great with support and keeping you abreast of all of the new updates as they come-- which is a big deal in this day and age of crummy product support.

Frame.io makes giving video feedback quicker and easier to implement than any previous system. It also keeps an organization of various drafts of projects, and makes clear who wants what changes implemented. It makes the process much faster overall, and solves the problem of timecode changing as you edit.

I love the ability to send a link to a client and have them enter in their feedback whinch in third shows up on my timeline in Adobe Premiere Pro using their free plugin. The ability to have a free account for times when you are only working on a single project.

The user interface can be confusing on the account holders side. Trying to find a way to share a link with someone but being sure that they will be able to leave comments is frustrating. Every time I have shared a link, I’ve had to share a quick article of how to get started for my client.

Play with it and try implementing it. Try with a willing client.

The ability to leave comments on the video at the exact moment of time code. Allows for the elimination of emails with confusing descriptions of something visual.

Frame.io is incredibly fast at uploading and encoding videos for review. Being able to select which members of your team content is relevant to is crucial for cutting down clutter. Annotations on video with illustrations are super helpful to convey a point or to identify an issue within the frame. Comment threads are helpful for organizing discussion.

The email and notification system is terrible. When reviewing content, users leave timestamped comments on videos to share their thoughts. This aspect is amazing. What is really unfortunate is that there is no good way to get a digestive email including all of those comments, rather you receive an email or notification for each comment or reply. Sure, you can set you preferences to receive notification every 15 or so minutes, but this is also not a suitable option for tight turnarounds. I wish reviewers could leave set of comments, click "submit" or something similar, and have the necessary parties notified that there are a handful of comments that need to be addressed.

Take time to think about your workflow and implementation of Frame.io. Decide if you can deal with hundreds of emails, or if you can wait for digestive emails regarding notifications.

Internal content review of videos. The version control of Frame.io is amazing. Being able to watch versions side by side in real time within the app is a really important feature when you are auditioning shots or managing very small tweaks and adjustments to content.

The collaborative comments are the best aspect of Frame.io. It is useful when your team is spread out in different offices to be able to pinpoint their comments and see their reviews.

The interface is very user friendly and takes only a little bit of time to learn. The ability to toggle between different measures on the video is also very clean and helpful.

The site can load very slowly. This makes it a bit of a pain when you have many videos to review. If the loading time was faster that would be a nice update.

The commenting ability, while very helpful, can get a little bit cluttered if many people are active in a project. It is important (as with all collaborative software) to decide on process of how to leave comments.

Be prepared to wait for the site to load slowly.

We needed a way for the multiple stakeholders in a project to easily review upcoming materials. This site provided a clean and simple solution.

I like that many people can view and comment on videos. The compare 2 versions of a video option is also pretty handy when you have multiple versions of the same video. Of course, if major changes are made to a video, it isn't always that obvious in the comparison view.

It is really easy to have too many comments begin appearing in the sidebar. Although there are multiple ways to organize sidebar comments, it can become quickly overwhelming. I would also prefer if the completed comments changed to a different color or font to indicate that they had been taken care of. It would also be nice if in the compare 2 versions view the comments could appear for both videos so that a viewer could understand if their comments had been addressed in the new version. Another issue I have is that the site tends to load very slowly.

Decide in advance how you plan to enter comments into frame.io. This will help you avoid having too many comments to wade through during the editing process.

We needed a program that allowed for collaboration in the editing of videos. This has allowed multiple stakeholders to easily participate in the viewing and editing of videos.

Frame.io was the perfect solution to our video reviews. Instead of having disassociated comments recorded in a Word document somewhere, we've got them right where we need them. Making necessary corrections has never been easier.

We do wish that the two cheaper plans included more collaboration abilities such as adding team members.

Use the free trial to see if Frame.io is right for your organization! If you find the answer is yes, then you can choose from a plethora of paid plans to suit your needs.

Frame.io allows video reviewers to be highly specific with their comments and direction. In fact, we often need fewer reviews because things are corrected or adjusted the first time.

I like that you can easily upload new versions of videos without replacing the originals. Also, the in-video comments makes determining where edits go.

I've had some glitch issues with Frame where an upload doesn't process correctly. Not sure what the issue is there, but would be helpful to solve that bug.

None

Solving the problem of how to share content created for work with the upper level managers that need to see it.

Frame makes it easy to collaborate with team members on a video project.

When I share a review page with a client, I have to delete comments first to make sure the client doesn't see our notes. I wish there was an option to remove comments on a review page, but just for the client link.

Tracking feedback on a video project is super easy. I can jump right into the project page, and quickly update myself on what's currently happening with a project.

I appreciate the fact that I can add the extension into Premiere and take the edits directly inside the program.

I'd like a way to import the timecoded edits directly into my Premiere timeline.

If you are sick of getting email after email of vague edits for your videos, Frame.io is for you. Another benefit is that you can export your video directly inside Premiere.

It streamlines our video reviews. We have multiple people who have to review each video from different departments. It gets rid of double edits for the same issue, and everyone's edits are on one page, timecoded to the exact image, and you can even highlight and draw on the frame to make your edit more understandable to the editor.

It's easy for producer's to give notes and view the files our editors send out.

The editors need to export as well as upload to Frame IO and then send out a link.

I recommend that you also implement a system where whoever is giving notes also saves the notes that were made and emails them out, so the editors know when all notes have been given and don't try to start them right away. I love the fact that producers can put the notes at the exact time codes where they need to be implemented. It is also helpful to keep older versions stacked below, so that you can see all the progress that was made and compare it to past versions.

A better workflow between editors and producers.

The ability to leave comments on a video that are visible by all team members

the limit on the amount of videos you are able to upload at once

Keep projects organized. Especially when you are restricted by an upload limit, you want all your related and most current uploads in one section.

When everyone on the team can't be in the same location it is still very easy to communicate our ideas clearly with each other

This is perfect for getting detailed feedback on a project. Timecode stamps on videos takes the guesswork out of comments. Being able to write on the picture is also incredibly useful.

It's a bit pricey if you would like to use this on a freelance basis.

This helps us get direct feedback without wait. There's no need to meet face to face in order to get ideas and feedback on edits.

I like the commenting on a time, and also the security options. Frame provides a lot of great options and user-friendliness for clients’ review.

The price is relatively high for what it offers & sharing is not very seamless.

Video review- the interface is very user friendly so a wide array of clients can pick it up and make notes

The ability to update files with different versions, and the commenting feature.

You have to pay to enable a collaborator to create new project folders

Critiquing and collaborating videos with teammembers.

Great customizable media sharing and timeline syncing for comments as markers

I wish you could export Premiere markers as comments to Frame.io.

Security with media sharing

I like that I am able to easily collaborate with other members of my creative team.

I don't have any complaints at the moment.

Collaboration has increased.
