The creators of ftrack Studio have a new standalone product, ftrack Review. Until May you are able to purchase the new ftrack Review at 50% off with an annual subscription.

Revealed prior to NAB 2019, and demonstrated in Las Vegas during the show, ftrack Review is presented as  “a new collaborative media review platform for content creators”. ftrack Review is a cloud-based collaborative media review and approval tool designed for creative teams who must iterate on media and gain feedback from stakeholders. Whereas providing feedback via email can be inefficient and lead to confusion, ftrack Review helps content creators to efficiently and visually communicate with clients via a web browser.

Users simply upload media using ftrack Review’s intuitive and modern UI, then share it anywhere in the world via a secure review link. As ftrack Review works directly via desktop or mobile web browser, clients, teammates and collaborators can access the review without needing to sign up or install additional software. They simply jump in and provide creative feedback in the form of comments and annotations, which are timestamped to the frame on which they’re made to keep communication in context.

ftrack Studio is the next level

Chris Allen, Executive Producer at The Mill, comments: “ftrack Review is fresh, simple and easy to use. The ability to jump on a session and provide feedback from a desktop or phone is great for The Mill, where accessible, centralised and clear communication is vital to hit the quality level we’re known for. ftrack Review helps us to get there.”

Fredrik Limsater, CEO and founder at ftrack, adds: “ftrack Review overhauls our existing review and approval platform, making it more accessible and user-friendly for any creative team to use. Everyone from freelancers to marketing teams and global studios can use it to increase the effectiveness of their feedback cycles. And if users need to scale, ftrack Studio’s powerful production tracking platform is there to take things to the next level.”
