Frame.io puts a shareable player on top of a video file so clients and editors can leave comments pinned to a specific timecode instead of emailing notes like 'around 1:20 it feels slow'. Versions stack in one place, so the round trip between an editor and a client stops living in five different threads. It suits production teams who hand cuts to people outside the company.
Who it is for
A small production company sending cuts to clients who will never install an app.
Key features
- Timecode-pinned comments on video

Where it falls short
It is a review layer, not storage — the media still has to live somewhere else, and the per-seat pricing assumes reviewers are invited rather than public.
Pricing
Free plan caps storage and projects; paid tiers are per member with more storage, and public review links are the feature that decides the tier.
Prices move; the tier structure is the part that stays true. Check current pricing on Frame.io.
