Client feedback
that actually works.
No more "around 2:34… or was it 2:43?" Send a link. Your client clicks on the timeline. You get a precise comment. Move on.
The feedback problem every editor knows
The cut is good. The client email is not. "I think somewhere in the middle it feels a bit slow?" is not feedback you can action. Neither is a screenshot with an arrow drawn in Preview.
The actual problem isn't the client. It's the tool — or lack of one. When there's no proper feedback channel, people use whatever's available: email, voice notes, PDF markups, WhatsApp messages at 11pm. All of it creates the same result: ambiguous notes, missed revisions, extra rounds.
A proper video feedback tool should make precision easy for someone who has never used one before. That's the bar RevCut was built against.
What frame-accurate feedback actually means
Most "video feedback" tools let clients type a comment with a timestamp attached. That's a start. RevCut goes further:
- Timecoded comments — pinned to the exact frame, not a rough second
- Frame pins — click a specific area on the image to point at a detail
- Range selection — mark an IN and OUT point to flag an entire sequence
- Playback pause on comment — the video stops at the marked frame so nothing gets missed
The difference matters in practice. "The logo feels off" at 00:42:14 on the bottom-right corner of frame is actionable. "The logo feels off" is another revision round.
Zero friction for your clients
Most feedback tools require your client to create an account. That means an email verification, a password they'll forget, and a support request you'll handle instead of editing.
With RevCut, your client receives a link. They enter their name. They watch the video and click where they want to comment. That's it.
Optional: protect the link with a project password you control. Still no account required on their end.
From feedback to timeline in one step
Once your client is done, comments don't sit in a web interface you have to keep open. RevCut exports everything directly to your editing software:
- CSV — open in any spreadsheet, filter by author or status
- PDF — clean printable summary with timecodes and author names
- FCPXML — imports directly as markers in Final Cut Pro
- DaVinci Resolve XML — imports as color-coded markers on your active timeline
There's also a native DaVinci Resolve plugin — sign in from inside Resolve, pick the project, import all comments with one click. Available free at revcut.io/integrations.
Built for the revision cycle, not just one pass
Feedback doesn't end at V1. RevCut handles versioning natively — upload V2, V3, V4 to the same project card. Clients always see the latest cut. You keep the full comment history per version.
When a version is approved, you lock it. No more late comments on a cut you already moved past. If you're mid-revision and don't want premature feedback on an unfinished version — pause comments with one click.
GDPR-compliant by default
Client feedback often contains confidential project notes, unreleased footage, and private communications. RevCut stores everything on Cloudflare R2 in Frankfurt — EU-only, no US data transfer.
No AI training on your content. No behavioral profiling of your clients. No data mining on review sessions. Your feedback stays between you and your client.
Frequently asked questions
How do clients leave video feedback without an account?
Clients receive a secure link. They enter their name, watch the video, and click directly on the timeline to leave frame-accurate comments. No signup, no app, no password unless you set one.
What is a frame-accurate video feedback tool?
A frame-accurate tool lets reviewers pin comments to the exact frame — not just a rough second. RevCut supports timecoded comments, frame pins (pointing to a specific pixel area on screen), and range selections (marking an IN and OUT point across a sequence).
Can I collect video feedback and export it to my NLE?
Yes. RevCut exports comments as CSV, PDF, FCPXML for Final Cut Pro, and XML for DaVinci Resolve. Comments import directly as markers on your timeline. There's also a native DaVinci Resolve plugin.
What happens if the client leaves feedback on an outdated version?
You control this. Once you upload a new version, you can pause comments on the old one. Clients always see the version you point them to — no confusion about which cut they're reviewing.
Is there a free video feedback tool?
RevCut offers a 14-day free trial — no credit card required. After that, plans start at €3/month. See the full pricing breakdown.
