Frame.io Reviews & Product Details

As a freelance editor, I've collaborated with a range of clients and used many different video review platforms, such as QuickReviewer and Dropbox Replay. Out of all of them, FrameIO has consistently stood out as the best. The upload speeds are impressive, comments can be made with frame accuracy or across a range, and sharing videos with stakeholders is incredibly straightforward. One feature I particularly appreciate is being able to see exactly when a client has opened a video.

FrameIO has also introduced a dedicated panel within Premiere Pro and After Effects, along with the option to import comments directly into your timeline. However, due to my personal workflow, I still prefer using the main website.

I rely on this platform for every project I take on, and honestly, I can't imagine switching to another video review tool after this experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's no native Android app out or in-development currently, and opening the website on a web browser on my phone is not ideal & very buggy sometimes. Creating a review link to share with a client on my phone is also borderline impossible, unless you spend a good chunk of time clicking around in Desktop mode.

Pricing racks up fast if you have multiple people in your team since you're charged per member/seat.

And I'm not too fond of the design choices with FrameIO v4 either. An example being that they waste too much video player space on the review page.

I also dislike that there is no direct connection/link between Dropbox & FrameIO, which means I've to upload the same video to both sites separately (depending on state of the project). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I appreciate most is how effortless it is to get feedback on videos. I no longer have to deal with sending large attachments or waiting for people to figure out where to leave their comments, since they can just add their notes directly on the video timeline. This makes editing so much easier. For work projects, like when our team creates a welcome video or a quick client recap, it really cuts down on the hassle. Even for my personal edits, I love being able to simply drag and drop files and have friends easily mark up their thoughts. It’s fast, straightforward, and honestly pretty fun to use.

To be honest, most of my issues with frame.io are minor. Uploading larger videos can be a bit slow at times, especially when my Wi-Fi connection isn’t strong, and I’ve occasionally noticed the player glitching while loading previews. I also wish it were more affordable or offered a more generous free plan for casual or personal projects. While the pricing is reasonable for company work, it can feel a bit expensive for random home use. Aside from these points, it generally works well and does what I need.

Frame.io keeps video reviews organized and easy to manage. Time coded comments remove confusion, and version history makes it clear what has changed. The Premiere Pro integration saves time during revisions, and permission controls allow safe sharing with clients and legal teams. Everything stays in one place, which reduces back and forth and keeps projects moving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is no true live, synchronized playback for group reviews, so we still rely on external calls. Performance can slow slightly with very large files, and costs rise as storage and projects scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can directly push videos from Premiere Pro without any upload or export lag. We can enable dynamic watermark with reviewer email and name and disable downloads for IP protection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does not have any live collaboration feature, we often schedule Zoom calls to watch a cut together because it doesn't support synchronized playback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Frame.io to upload creative files, manage projects, assign tasks, get feedback, and share my work. As a video editor, I feel great using the software because it acts as a centralized hub for the team in video production, offering future review. Frame.io is valuable to my workflow as it allows me, as the leader, to review and collaborate with others easily, from freelancers to enterprise teams, helping us both review, prove, and deliver. I find Frame.io easier to use compared to our previous software, Adobe Premiere Pro, and it enhances collaboration and communication. The software allows us to share and review before submitting the final product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s incredibly light on the system yet remarkably powerful for collaboration. Frame.io streamlines communication, keeps projects organized, and makes feedback clear and actionable. The real-time review tools, fast uploads, and intuitive interface make the entire workflow feel smoother and more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t dislike much, but there are small areas that could improve. Occasionally the sync between versions can feel slightly delayed, and the commenting tools—though powerful—could be even more streamlined for heavy workflows. Nothing major, but refinements would make the experience even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Frame.io makes it easy for me to share ongoing video projects by simply generating a link. This allows clients or higher management to review the video just by clicking the link, and they can leave comments or feedback directly on specific timelines. The fact that it can be accessed from any device is, in my opinion, its best feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it inconvenient that accessing premium templates requires committing to a full monthly subscription, rather than allowing for individual purchases. This results in watermarks appearing when using the free version. I also wish there were more advanced annotation tools available, such as multi-frame tracking, although the current set of tools generally meets my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use Frame.io as a review tool for our clients. It has been well received by everyone. The ability for them to leave comments at the exact time in the video has been a game changer and made it easier for our editors to produce changes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Right now, it's hard to say what I dislike about it. We have some network infrastructure that doesn't allow us to use the full capabilities of the app but we are working internally to resolve that. What we need is to be able to make a solid use case with our information security team about storing assets on the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Frame.io is how easy it makes collaboration with clients, partners, and teammates. You don’t have to write down timecodes or explain things in long messages. Feedback can be left directly on the exact frame that needs changes. The drawing tools are also very helpful because they make it easy to show what should be adjusted. Overall, it saves time and makes communication much clearer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes playback is not as smooth as playing a video directly from disk, especially with heavier files. Other than that, the platform works very well for my workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The way it streamlines video feedback is brilliant. Instead of endless email threads, clients can comment directly on the video timeline, and I see exactly what needs to be changed. It keeps projects moving fast and organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

> The biggest issue for me is performance with heavy projects — large uploads or long timelines can slow things down quite a bit. Sometimes comments take a few seconds to sync, and it interrupts the flow. I also wish there were more customization options for sharing links and controlling client permissions. Overall, though, the core idea works really well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
