In practice, very few “old school” client get the concept of commenting or will bother to do it. It’s usually the younger clients, who are more apt to make use of the features.
I find that, while it makes things easy for me to track, the features just don’t get used no matter how strongly I encourage clients to use them - even if I point out it will save them money.
Great implementation with Premiere, but wish the extension did burn-in captions haha. I forget about that so many times when doing reviews.
Other than that we also use it with Avid, but with no plug-in/extensions. Never really had a problem with it.
Only thing I wish was that when you made edits, that the Frame video would update and comments would be on the new time code. I know that it would require constant updating to frame, but it would be pretty cool.
When I first started, wipster was too expensive and frame.io was not out - so I just did Vimeo + email notes.
When Review page feature came around, it was more then enough, it was at the same price, and going frame.io would have meant buying a separate subscription- not worth the cost.
I only see myself using frame.io while working in big stuff with a lot of reviewers on board. Anyhow, my preferred method still is pen¬ebook, listening for intonation and mimic, reactions, and all that good stuff proper review session bring about (and I ain’t even that old - but apparently I Am judgemental) - oh, but you were asking remote... Vimeo is enough for the price. Dropbox seems clunky.
If there’d be an easy way to mimic live review session, I’d probably prefer that. Parsec+Discord might work, but too cumbersome to give to any client.
Have to do it through text/email/etc, but the client doesn’t need to sign up for anything, it’s a pretty foolproof and simple interface, and doesn’t cost anything for files under 2GB.
It’s a point to point cloud based streaming service (using WebRTC or RTMP). It allows you to live stream the output of your edit system to 1-10 viewers. They just need a web browser and decent bandwidth. The stream is very low latency - in the milliseconds of delay and very high quality. You can stream up to 4 viewer selectable sources that can be video devices or screen shares. You use it with OBS or an ATEM Mini Pro. It’s one of the best options I’ve found for the real-time review and approval sessions where we need to be or have remote viewers.
Pricing is based on time-window passes that you purchase on an as needed basis. And they are quite reasonable for what you get. $25 for 1 viewer for 1 day up to $495 for 10 viewers for 1 day.
I suspect it is using, if not the same, a similar backend. There are a few streaming service providers that resell their services, like Amazon Web Services, and I think that’s why these new services are popping up.

I get them for a \*sending a copy\* is there any 'approval' info available?

Seems really interesting. Its similar to evercast, right? Im totally ignorant on this new network thingies but i recall reading they used rtmp.

Kollaborate - not as feature rich but it’s a cheaper option than FrameIO… we’ve been using it for a while.
