Video review and approval is one of the most critical steps in the audiovisual production process. The lack of an organized structure can result in rework, wasted time and misalignment among those involved. To address these challenges, Silvertake Video adopts innovative tools such as Frame.io, which allows you to centralize feedback, speed up reviews and ensure deliveries aligned with customer expectations.

In this article, we explore how this platform improves the audiovisual project management, the direct impacts on productivity and best practices to maximize its use in the workflow.

The challenges of video review and the need for optimization

Traditionally, video review has involved lengthy email exchanges, large files being sent via WeTransfer, loose notes in spreadsheets or documents, and difficulties in tracking changes. This model is not only time-consuming, but also increases the risk of miscommunication and conflicting versions of the file.

According to a report by Filmmaker Magazine, approximately 30% of post-production time is spent just reviewing and implementing feedback. With the fragmentation of interactions, many teams end up making imprecise adjustments, resulting in rework and delivery delays.

THE Frame.io solves this problem by offering an integrated platform for collaborative review, allowing clients, editors and producers to work together efficiently.

How Silvertake Video Uses Frame.io to Streamline Workflows

1. Integration with Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects

Silvertake Video uses mostly the Adobe Premiere Pro and the After Effects for editing and post-production. Frame.io's native integration with these software allows editors to do upload working versions without the need for manual export, significantly reducing processing time and eliminating compatibility issues.

Additionally, the editor can view comments left on the platform directly on the software’s timeline, ensuring that each adjustment is implemented accurately.

2. Centralization and organization of files

With Frame.io, Silvertake stores all project assets in one place, including:

  • Video versions (rough cuts, intermediate and final versions).
  • Raw files and graphic elements (logos, animations, lower thirds).
  • Soundtracks, sound effects and voiceovers.
  • Production guides and scripts.

The folder structure allows the team to have strict control over files and their versions, avoiding loss of materials or use of outdated files.

3. Real-time feedback and visual annotations

One of the most powerful features of Frame.io is the ability to mark specific points in the video to insert comments and visual notes. This provides extremely efficient communication, with less room for misinterpretation.

The impact of this tool on Silvertake Video's team productivity includes:

  • Reduction in review time: Centralized feedback avoids unnecessary back and forth.
  • Less rework: visual notes make it clear what needs to be adjusted.
  • Improved communication: Customers can quickly review and approve changes.

4. Version history and comparisons

In audiovisual projects, video versions evolve over time. Frame.io maintains a full change history, allowing the team to compare different versions and ensure that requested adjustments were implemented correctly.

This avoids common situations such as:

  • Customers requesting changes already implemented.
  • Old files being used by mistake.
  • Confusion about which version of the video should be approved.

5. Notifications and agile approval flow

To keep your workflow dynamic, Frame.io automatically notifies everyone involved when:

  • A new video is submitted for review.
  • A comment is added or replied to.
  • An updated version of the video is available.

This prevents approvals from getting stuck and ensures the process continues without interruptions.

6. Security and permission control

Frame.io offers a robust system of permission management, allowing you to define who can view, comment on, or edit certain content. Silvertake Video uses this functionality to ensure that only the right people have access to sensitive client files.

Furthermore, all data is encrypted and stored on secure servers, protecting the material against unauthorized access.

Implementing Frame.io has transformed the way Silvertake Video conducts its review and approval processes. Key benefits observed include:

  • 60% less time spent on revisions, accelerating project delivery.
