Direct answers about Proofcut workflows, frame accuracy, and pricing.
Never. You share a single secure review link with your client. They open it on any desktop or mobile browser and can immediately frame-step, draw vector markups, type feedback, and approve the cut without signing up, entering a password, or downloading an app.
Frame.io charges $15 to $25 per user each month, which escalates quickly as you add editors and guest reviewers. Proofcut charges a flat $12/month for Pro with unlimited client reviewers and unlimited projects. There are zero per-seat fees.
Proofcut exports markers and client notes directly into Adobe Premiere Pro (CSV), DaVinci Resolve (EDL), and Final Cut Pro (XML). You can import your client's exact timecoded notes directly into your editing timeline with a single click.
Proofcut uses mathematical SMPTE timecode calculation across 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94, and 60 fps footage. Every arrow key step or J/K/L shuttle locks to the exact physical frame boundary of your media file.
Yes. Proofcut includes an interactive Version Comparison Player supporting synchronized dual-playback side-by-side or a horizontal interactive slider wipe to verify color grades, VFX updates, and revision fixes between cuts.
On the Starter Free tier, cuts remain fully interactive for 30 days. Afterward, they transition into a permanent, read-only archive where all comments, drawings, and timecodes remain accessible forever. Pro and Agency accounts enjoy permanent, unlimited active retention.
