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.

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.

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.

I think Frame.io is the best software for collaborative review. I love that it allows clients to leave feedback based on exact time codes and lets them draw on the image. I find the uploads to be incredibly fast, which is fantastic, and I enjoy how it integrates with Adobe Premiere, making it easy to import comments directly into my sequence. These comments translate to markers on my sequence, allowing me to easily go through and make changes. It even allows file uploads, revisions, and offers great features when sharing videos.

I think the biggest downside to Frame.io is the storage cost beyond the free version. It is expensive to have large amounts of data stored. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is super easy to leave feedback on video projects we are working on. Everyone can leave comments on exactly the right spot, and we can mark up the screen, use specific timestamps. It's perfectly easy to convey our meaning. We use it both internally and with clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It doesn't keep me signed in so I have to sign in every time I open a new link. I don't know why since I always sign in so this is annoying- happens every time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love Frame.io for its frame-accurate commenting feature, which lets clients pinpoint exact moments for feedback without vague emails or confusion. The real-time collaboration and seamless Adobe Premiere integration dramatically speed up workflows for video teams. I appreciate how version control keeps everything organized in one place, eliminating scattered files. The initial setup is very straightforward, with an intuitive dashboard and guided onboarding that make it accessible even for non-tech users. I also enjoy that Frame.io integrates seamlessly with Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Photoshop for direct uploads and frame-accurate exports, working well with tools like DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, Dropbox, and Google Drive. It was a big upgrade from Dropbox and Google Drive, providing organized workflows and smooth client handoffs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing and storage limits can feel restrictive for larger teams or high-volume projects, often requiring upgrades sooner than expected. The interface, while powerful, has a learning curve for non-technical clients, and occasional upload speed issues arise with big files. Mobile app functionality lags behind the web version for full review workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the pinpoint-accurate feedback feature, which allows users to click directly on a frame and leave comments associated with specific pixels, making notes very precise. I appreciate Frame.io's intuitive interface, as it's exceptionally clean and easy to navigate, even for clients new to professional review platforms. The fast and reliable playback of high-resolution videos with minimal load times and buffering is another highlight. I also enjoy the deep integrations with Adobe and Apple, which let editors review comments and manage assets within their NLEs, saving hours usually spent context-switching. The visual context feature is great too, as it allows drawing annotations directly on frames for clear instructions. Setup was easy for me, and the convenience of uploading and receiving immediate feedback through Adobe After Effects is extremely useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Download/Upload Complexity: For clients who just need to quickly download the final video file, the interface can sometimes feel overly dense compared to a simple shared Dropbox or Google Drive link. The focus is heavily on the review mechanism, which can complicate the simple delivery task. Non-Video Asset Handling: While you can upload images, PDFs, and audio, Frame.io is optimized for video. Its tools for marking up and collaborating on non-video documents are basic compared to dedicated document collaboration tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
