Frame by Frame The Best Use Frame.io

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Frame.io to give clients a seamless ability to provide feedback and creative direction on marketing videos as part of web experiences of digital spots. We've historically had to send large video files to Drive or Box, with feedback that's received as disjointed and ineffective, especially via Email. Frame.io has made it easy to pull in that feedback frame-by-frame.

Pros

  • Customers can now provide feedback and notes on frames.
  • Syncing up our Creative team with Marketing teams.
  • Comments and resolution tracked easily.

Cons

  • The ability to tag videos.
  • Match comments beyond frames to section on Video.
  • Submit an AI generated checklist based on Comments.

Return on Investment

  • We've seen at minimum 50% increase in time to approval of Creative Assets.
  • There is stronger collaboration on creative direction and feedback within our internal team.
  • Frame.io is extremely user friendly and we have seen 90% adoption from our clients.

Frame.io helps organizing differing opinions from multiple stakeholders

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Every time we send out a video to a client, for review or for final delivery, we do it on the frame.io platform.

Pros

  • 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.

Cons

  • The navigation controls for reviewing video are quite good for an online platform, but the instructions for a non-video professional should be right there on the review screen.
  • Wish there was a way to use embed codes on the hosted videos so they could be embedded on our website portfolio page (or others).

Most Important Features

  • Clients can make frame-specific notes
  • Clients can easily view and download in-progress and finished projects

Return on Investment

  • It is a time saver because we don't have to track through email threads trying to find notes about past versions
  • In much the same way Slack works for colleagues being able to join a conversation at any point, frame.io allows additional stakeholders to join the review process at multiple points and review their colleagues notes. This reduced conflicting notes, or at least engages the stakeholders among themselves to arrive at a decision.

It allows us to send our clients videos that need to be reviewed, the annotations and comments area is a wonderful feature that has streamlined our process.
