Approval Studio vs. Frame.io

Excellent for editing down raw video captures of educational webinars. Questions from the audience can sometimes be too case specific, and would not be a value-add to a posted recording, and sometimes the presenter needs a topic to be edited down for time as well. Frame.io is great for allowing teams to give their feedback on the video so that everyone has input on which portions are most valuable/should be removed.

• Allows clients to make frame-specific notes, so there is no confusion what they are talking about.
• When multiple stakeholders are making notes, platform automatically sorts them chronologically in the video.
• Multiple stakeholders giving notes can see when their note conflicts with a colleague's.

• When I mark a video private, it should disable the sharing link. We’ve run into issues where we’ve made a video private, thinking that it was no longer visible, but those with the link could still view it.
• Mobile version is great, but sometimes I have to rotate my phone to get the full feature set, which is a little clunky sometimes.

It works well for our small team, but we’ve run into some friction as things scale. Getting external users set up with the right access can be a bit of a hassle, and the cost starts to add up as we bring on more people and projects. That said, it’s still a solid tool, it definitely speeds up our workflow and works seamlessly with Adobe products.

I've used other video review systems, Frame was the only one I didn't question how they allowed you to review - I just started reviewing. It's that simple. It's easy to set up projects, invite collaborators, and then provide a final cut for download. It's naturally built for the kind of work that TV/Film & video production companies do.

When sharing videos for feedback, there are no noticeable performance issues with Frame.io. Everyone is able to complete their tasks without the program getting in the way.

I've only reached out to Frame.io a few times but they responded quickly and offered achievable solutions. The fact that I haven't had to reach out to them more is proof that the platform is easy to use, reliable, and can run on its own. The only issues we have had were related to uploading issues on our end.

Box provides company-wide storage for our teams and remains our baseline file storage system; however, it is extremely limited for collaboration. Frame.io's review/comment system tags videos by timeline, making it invaluable for receiving client feedback and completing creative work faster and more efficiently.
