Your client gets a link.
Not a login form.
Forcing clients to create accounts before they can review a video isn't a security feature — it's friction. RevCut removes it entirely.
Why no-login client review matters
Every account creation form between your client and your video is a risk. A risk that they don't finish the signup. A risk that the verification email ends up in spam. A risk that their IT department blocks a new SaaS tool registration. A risk that a technophobic client calls you instead of reviewing the cut.
These aren't edge cases. They're recurring events on every project with a new client. The tool that requires an account shifts support overhead onto the editor. RevCut doesn't.
What the client experience looks like
From the client's side, the entire workflow is:
- Receive a link (via email, Slack, WhatsApp — wherever you send it)
- Open the link in any browser on any device
- Enter a name — that's the only field
- Enter a password if the project is protected (optional, set by you)
- Watch the video
- Click on the timeline to leave a comment at any frame
- Click Approve or Request Changes when done
That's the full interface they see. No navigation. No sidebar. No settings. Just the video and a way to react to it.
Access control stays with you
Zero friction for the client doesn't mean zero control for the editor. You decide:
- Project password — add an optional password to the review page. You share it with your client however you normally communicate. They don't need to set or remember it.
- Comment pause — disable new comments mid-project when you're working on a new version. Clients who revisit the link can watch, but not comment.
- Download permission — decide whether clients can download the video file from the review page. Off by default.
- Right-click protection — native browser video download is blocked on all review pages.
Multiple stakeholders, no account chaos
Clients often aren't one person. There's the direct contact, the manager, the legal person, the CEO who "just wants to take a quick look." With most tools, each one needs their own account.
With RevCut, anyone with the link (and password, if set) can review. They enter different names. Their comments appear separately on the timeline. You see exactly who said what and when — without managing a guest list.
Privacy-first from the client's side too
Your clients don't sign up, which means they don't get tracked, profiled, or added to a marketing funnel they never consented to. RevCut doesn't collect client email addresses unless voluntarily provided. No behavioral tracking on review sessions. No retargeting.
For sensitive productions — legal content, corporate communications, pre-release material — this matters. Your client's review session stays between you and them.

Frequently asked questions
Do clients need to create an account to review a video?
No. Clients receive a secure link, enter their name, and can leave frame-accurate comments directly. No signup, no app download, no password reset. Optional project passwords are set by the editor.
Is the client review link secure?
Yes. Each review link is a unique, non-guessable token. Editors can add an optional project password for an extra access layer. Videos are served from EU-hosted storage and are not publicly indexed.
Can multiple clients review the same video?
Yes. There's no cap on reviewers. Multiple stakeholders can access the same link and leave comments under their own names — no individual logins required. Each person's comments are attributed separately.
What happens to my client's data?
Client names and comments are stored in association with the project — not as user profiles. They're not tracked across sessions, not profiled, not added to any mailing list. When you delete a project, all associated data is deleted with it.
Can clients leave feedback on mobile?
Yes. The review interface is fully responsive. Clients can watch, comment, and approve from any modern mobile browser — no app required.
