Review
Review it where it landed. Approve it on the same page.
Recipients play, zoom, page and draw over a delivery without downloading it. Give each person a role, collect per-file approvals with reminders, and export every note to a CSV or straight into the edit suite.
Plans: Comments and threads are on every plan. The player, drawings, version compare, presentation mode, roles, approvals and exports come with Studio and Enterprise.
How it works
In order
- 01
Send a link with roles
Name each recipient a viewer, a reviewer or an approver. Everyone else who opens the plain link keeps the ordinary share-page rules.
- 02
They review in the browser
Video and audio play from a proxy rendered on our servers; images zoom and pan; PDFs page. A note starts at the current frame, with a pen, arrow or box if words are not enough.
- 03
Decisions land on the receipt
Approve or Request changes per file and per version. Approvers with files still pending are reminded twice; every decision names who made it and lands on the receipt and in your activity feed.
Everything in Review
Shipped items are marked Live; the rest is committed roadmap or built and waiting on an outside approval, and says so.
- Live
Frame-accurate player
J/K/L shuttle, single-frame stepping, HH:MM:SS:FF timecode read at the file’s real frame rate, and a waveform under the scrubber with a marker for every timecoded note.
- Live
Notes with drawings
Press C to start a note at the current frame; draw with a pen, an arrow or a box in five colours. Notes carry the timecode or the page and show up in the thread.
- Live
Image and PDF mark-up
A zoom-and-pan viewer for stills and a page-by-page viewer for PDFs (up to 50 pages rendered), with the same note and drawing tools.
- Live
Version compare
When an upload replaces a file, compare the two side by side or with a wipe. Decisions are per version, so a replaced file is pending again.
- Live
Presentation mode
Full screen, arrow keys between items, R toggles the reviewer panel, Esc leaves. Built for a room, not a tab.
- Live
Roles, approvals and reminders
Viewer, reviewer and approver per recipient. Approve or request changes with a note; approvers are nudged 48 hours after the link is created and 24 hours before it expires.
- Live
Threads, @mentions and timecodes
Replies one level deep, timecodes typed as 00:12.400 or 00:00:12:10, and @mentions of teammates that recipients never see.
- Live
Export to CSV or edit-suite markers
Comments as CSV with timecodes in milliseconds, or a marker file the edit suite imports with colours for resolved, sender and recipient notes.
- Live
Review on the phone
Reviewers approve, request changes and comment from the Boita app for iPhone and Android; the sender gets a push for each decision.
- Live
Acknowledgements
Got it, Thanks or Something is wrong: one tap for the recipient, one line on the receipt for you.
- Live
Review analytics
Approvals turnaround, open and download times and reviewer activity on the Insights page.
- Live
Watermarked review
On a watermarked link the player, the stills and the PDF pages are rendered from the recipient’s own marked copy.
The numbers
Real limits, stated up front.
Taken from the product’s configuration and plan data, not from a sales deck.
Does the recipient need an account to review?
No. They open their personal link from the invitation (or verify their email with a code) and everything they do is attributed to them on the receipt. Nothing to install.
Is the original ever served to the browser?
No. The player, the image viewer and the PDF viewer all work from proxies rendered on our servers. Downloads are separate and can be switched off with a view-only link.
Is review only for video?
No. Stills, layered artwork exported as images, PDFs (proofs, drawings, reports) and audio get the same notes, drawings and approvals. Anything else is approved from its row without a viewer.
What if the file is replaced after approval?
Decisions are per version. A replaced file goes back to Pending review, the previous decision stays on the previous version, and version compare shows both.
Next step
Try it, or ask first.
Start free with 10 GB and no card, book a demo, or talk to a person on WhatsApp. Leads from this page reach us with the page name attached, so the reply already knows what you read.
Stop emailing timecodes.
Review, approvals and exports come with Studio. Start free, send one delivery with comments on, and upgrade when the first approver needs a button.
