Frame.io 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

Easy to deliver concepts, so easy to leave feedback and comments, and very easy to organize.

Their support and CS isn't prompt and very helpful, have to troubleshoot a lot yourself.

Frame.io is an incredible resource for video production teams. Team members can upload videos to the Frame.io website, and whoever needs to review the video is able to leave comments at specific times throughout the video. No more manual lists of timecodes and notes, or guessing which part of the video a reviewer may be giving a note on. Videos can also be uploaded to Frame.io to be shared as presentations for clients, or viewers outside of a given team, and the page they view is customizable. You can choose background color, text color for the title of the video, and even the thumbnail you'd like to appear on the screen when the reviewer opens the video's link. The ability to "stack" or "layer" updated versions of the same video is useful and unique to Frame.io as well. You'll always be able to view the genesis of a given video, from its first version to its final version (as long as you don't delete past versions). Frame.io has massively increased our team's efficiency, and streamlined communication regarding all of our video deliverables.

The only area that still needs improvement is with the desktop app version of Frame.io. The app only allows for uploads and downloads of files - you cannot leave timecoded comments, play videos for review, or layer video versions on top of one another. I always prefer to use the desktop version of any application I use, but the Frame.io desktop app is lacking in its current form.

Absolutely nothing. I rarely write reviews but I had to for this one because this is appalling.

Very frustrating. I have been sent 76 files consisting of videos and pictures to download as I am an editor. Not only can you not choose the destination of where you want them to download, you have to download them one by one. I have to find the folder i want to put the files in 76 times now...in 2024, how could you make such an underdeveloped app. Nothing else i can do but accept it though. Horrible app.

I love that my team members and clients can give frame specific feedback on video reviews. This ability has been great because I can more easily "force" clients to only give specific, actionable feedback by funneling them to Frame.io as our only place for revision communication. This has greatly reduced the vague emails and phone calls. Client: "uhhh, it kinda feels a little slow in the middle". Now I can reply, "Ok, can you point out specifically when and where it feels slow?" This has also made me become a better producer/director because that same limitation applies to me. It forces me to only give specific and actionable feedback to my team members, which makes the editing process more efficient and forces me to be more decisive in my feedback given.

Currently there is a bug for the past few months where when I send a link to a client Frame.io asks them to create an account after they click the link. It didn't used to do this, it simply required them to put in their email address once and then go straight to reviewing. This has caused several headaches on recent projects.

The concept of this is a no-brainer need for any video producer. Your client leaves comments at time-stamped sections and you are then notified of every note made. You can then reply to the comment or just check it off. You can "hide" the checked comments which is very helpful if you're going through a long list of notes and need to sift through what has been addressed and what hasn't .

I wasn't able to determine why, but I had about a dozen clients who had a hard time leaving comments. It may have been something to do with the need to log in first, which some clients didn't want to create yet another log-in. Aside from this issue, the cost is a bit high. When you add up all the other subscription software you need from CRMs, Invoicing, Cloud storage, Adobe and about a hundred other things, Frame.io's cost can be difficult to accept, especially after having some clients not even use the system.

Very useful to get quick and accurate feedback on the video without having to use services not created for this, thanks to the possibility of commenting and uploading different versions always at the same link makes it very easy to share with people even those not in the trade

I find the option to download the video poorly signposted and often have to remember to click the

Our main use of Frame.io is for reviewing and commenting on rough edits of marketing and youtube videos. It is simple to comment on or annotate with drawing for a specific timestamp so our video editor can understand where changes are needed. We like the direct integration with Premiere Pro.

It seems the product is going in the direction of offering more complete video project management. While I see these could be useful for video production teams, we don't really need the extra project management features as we manage all projects in a separate project management software which includes much more than video-related tasks.

I love how easy Frame.io makes collaboration! Before I was using it, I was putting a video online, and then getting emails back with unclear timecode stamps, vague requests, and just general confusion with a lot of edits I was trying to make. Or having to schedule time to have an in-person client meeting to go over fairly minor changes. Online collaboration with frame.io cuts down on a lot of the confusion and time needed for meetings. Clients, with very little training, can leave comments right on specific times on the video, and then if still unclear, we can have a conversation right in the comment thread. Being able to draw right on the frame as well and leave that as a comment is a great help in many situations too. Being able to upload multiple file types in the project is super handy for getting files to clients or other assets from them. Folders within the projects help cut down on clutter as well. Frame.io can make it very clear as to what needs attention and what's client approved with their status tags, and sending out to external collaborators who just need to see one or two videos, but not the whole project, is a snap as well. I can even generate a presentation link to send out for captioning as well to keep things simple. When all is said and done, it's nice to be able to house a master version on the project, as well as have frame.io produce various compressed versions for the client to download directly.

Some more features would be great, maybe being able to mark some sub-comments as complete if a client starts loading requests into the thread instead of a new comment. Locking down a file would be great as well, so an editor would know comments can't be added anymore, or a file can't be downloaded. But other than some requests, I have no real major complaints.

Great for getting client feedback. The commenting system is great for getting precise feedback on certain parts of the video. The integration with Adobe Premiere is also very good and streamlines the post production workflow.

Would be great if it didn't cost so much to add additional seats/users

I like that my team can import comments from frame into premiere. I also like that my clients can leave comments themselves if they know how to do it.

I don't like that it's super buggy, difficult to know what you're sharing, and often times customers are confused on how to use it or leave their comments. What was suppose to save me time from tracking emails of feedback and contacting a bunch of people to confirm their feedback has moved to me calling the customer and leaving feedback with them. This can also be achieved with vimeo, and now dropbox and google drive is allowing comments with video marketing—but you cannot import the comments into premiere.
