Took a while to sink in, but now an essential

I was initially skeptical and kinda pushed it to the back of my mind — continuing to laboriously upload to Vimeo; prepare the embed code; take that code back to my Squarespace site; create the video embed object; paste the code; tweak; copy the link for clients and then send an email. ALL THAT just so they can view it. Then I found myself with an hour or two to look into frame_io. First, the ability to share to it direct from the FCPX timeline means it’s as viable as Vimeo, so that’s one stage substituted. Then, to be able to create meaningful projects and sub-projects as destinations is invaluable. Starting to make sense. THEN, to choose who can view vs who cannot view on a per item basis; to have them be able to share or not, but MOST OF ALL, to give clients the on-screen ability to stop the video; mark up a frame or clip with annotations, text, arrows, highlights… unreal. Suddenly my entire, laborious, clumsy process was replaced 100%. The clients love it. I love it. AND NO MORE EMAIL CRITIQUE THREADS! It all happens in one, streamlined space, which I can only assume will get better and better.

So hats off and five stars. If you’re working with video for clients, it’s an absolute no-brainer.
