End the chaos of vague email timecodes and scattered revision requests. Share private, browser-based review links where clients drop timestamped comments, visual drawing annotations, and spatial pin markers directly on your video cuts.
Expensive enterprise video review suites charge dozens of dollars per seat each month. Freelancer Buddy delivers professional video proofing built specifically for independent editors and creators.
Every note is anchored to the exact second. Clicking any comment jumps the playhead directly to that precise timeline position.
Scrub through video cuts with precise timecode indicators for accurate adjustments to cuts, audio, and transitions.
Drop numbered pins or draw directly on the paused video frame with multiple colors to point out color shifts, typos, or framing issues.
Clients review your video exports in their browser with just their name — no forced account registration, passwords, or software downloads.
See colored avatars when clients actively view your cut, reply to feedback in threaded comment replies, and keep notes contextual.
Video review links live directly inside your project workspaces, moving deliverables seamlessly from review status to final sign-off.
A clean video revision workflow that eliminates confusing email chains.
Attach your MP4, MOV, or WebM export directly to a task inside your project workspace.
Generate a tokenized review link with an optional 4-digit passcode and expiration window.
Clients scrub the timeline, drop spatial pins, and leave timestamped drawing annotations.
Review feedback in your task queue, address requested changes, and secure final sign-off.
Freelance video editors and animators know the pain of vague feedback: "Around the middle, make the music louder and cut that awkward shot." You are left guessing the exact timecode and which frame was awkward. When multiple stakeholders reply across separate email threads, revisions quickly turn into unbillable confusion.
Our video proofing software for freelancers eliminates this ambiguity by anchoring client feedback directly to the exact timeline position and paused video frame.
Video editing is an art of milliseconds. Freelancer Buddy equips creative editors and clients with review precision:
Clicking any comment jumps the playhead straight to that exact second, displaying visual marker flags along the scrub bar.
Scrub through video exports with exact timecode indicators to identify cut points and transitions without guesswork.
Drop numbered spatial pins or draw directly on the paused frame with the pen tool to highlight framing issues, typos, or color shifts.
If reviewing a video requires creating accounts or downloading software, clients delay feedback. Freelancer Buddy keeps access frictionless.
Clients open your private review link, enter their name so comments are labeled, and optionally enter a 4-digit passcode. They can play, scrub, and mark up your cut in full resolution without downloading large source files.
Feedback left on review links feeds directly into your workspace "Awaiting Review" queue. As you execute changes in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or After Effects, reply to comments, resolve items, and present updated cuts for sign-off.
Review links live directly inside your project workspace. Manage editing tasks in our Post-Production Task Management workspace and visual Project Management boards. Once cuts are approved, bill milestones with our Video Editor Invoice Generator. For static graphics and storyboards, use our Client Review Tool.
Cloud storage links work for raw file transfers, but fail for creative reviews. Generic links lack timeline timecodes, in-player drawing tools, spatial pins, and threaded comments. Freelancer Buddy provides a client-facing review space that accelerates sign-offs.
Freelancer Buddy is built for freelance video editors, motion graphic designers, animators, commercial videographers, and creative studios collaborating on video cuts.
Switching from messy email timecodes to Freelancer Buddy's video proofing cut our revision rounds in half. Clients love how easy it is to draw on the frame, and I love having every note pinned to the exact timecode.
Do my clients need to create an account or log in to review videos?
No. Clients do not need to create an account or install any software. They open your private review link in their browser, enter their name so comments are labeled, and enter a passcode if you enabled one.
What video formats are supported for proofing?
Freelancer Buddy supports standard web-compatible video exports including MP4, MOV, WebM, and AVI formats with smooth playback and timeline scrubbing.
Can clients draw or place spatial markers on specific video frames?
Yes. When the video is paused, clients can select the spatial pin tool to drop numbered pin markers or use the pen drawing tool to circle objects directly on the frame.
How are confidential client projects protected?
Each review link uses a unique tokenized URL. You can optionally require a 4-digit access passcode and set an automatic expiration window.
How does this differ from Freelancer Buddy's general client review tool?
Our general Client Review Tool supports broader static media like design images and mockups, whereas Video Proofing is specialized for video playback, frame keys, timecodes, and timeline scrubbing.
Can I invoice clients after they approve a video cut?
Yes. Once deliverables receive client sign-off, you can create a milestone invoice in Freelancer Buddy's invoice software and attach review references directly to the billing record.
