Short description: Yamdu is a production management software for visual content. It offers tools for all departments and stages of a film, television or commercial production.
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 …
Frame.io is slightly different from the rest of the media management tools I've used. It being able to integrate directly into Premiere is a game changer. It makes it so much easier to collaborate on videos, organize footage, and know who's working on what projects at any given …
Frame.io's integration with other Adobe products makes it a great choice. Being able to mark up the files to show edits makes it a much better tool than some of the alternatives where you can only leave comments.
I don't think another product like Frame.io exists. When I first started to use it, I loved it. The download, syncing with premiere, versioning, all of the features are great. I just feel like you guys do too many updates that aren't necessary.
We utilize both Synthesia and Frame.io for different projects. Frame.io we use for editing actual video content that has been captured. Primary use is for customer training and education. We use Synthesia for short-form video production, primarily for software screen …
At the time, there really wasn't anything else like Yamdu. Especially as, in Celtx's case, at that time they weren't doing Excel/CSV exports of shot lists in the A/V format, something we required for what we were shooting. I understand that StudioBinder has increased its …
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.
Yamdu is a good choice if you work in a professional setup, where teamwork is important, where big crews have to be handled. If you only have a few crew members in small projects, the toolset might be a bit overloaded
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.
What you see is what you get. It's easy to start working when you setup your first project. Also team members do not need many new to learn skills to work with the basic functions. Really incredible is Yamdu's help center. It is always available in the right corner. A lot of topics are covered with video links. If you need personal assistance, you can write a message within the help-box and Yamdu's crew is really fast in responding!
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.
At the time, there really wasn't anything else like Yamdu. Especially as, in Celtx's case, at that time they weren't doing Excel/CSV exports of shot lists in the A/V format, something we required for what we were shooting. I understand that StudioBinder has increased its featureset the past few years, but Yamdu always felt like the most robust option and more familiar with the film/tv world.
