Use Frame.io to share video projects with anyone who needs to see them or provide feedback. Everything is in one place: All of your comments and reviewers’ notes are connected with your Premiere Pro or After Effects projects, so it’s easy to keep track of reviews and approvals.
Before you start
Have you updated to the latest version of Premiere Pro and After effects; and installed and activated Frame.io extension yet? If not, upgrade your apps or install the extension using the instructions here.
How Frame.io works
Frame.io offers a Frame.io panel within Premiere Pro and After Effects (Window > Workspaces > Review) or (Window > Review with Frame.io), a web app, and more collaborative features.
Use the Frame.io web app (app.frame.io) for the full feature experience. Through Frame.io web, you can manage versions, and update permissions.
With the panel inside Premiere Pro and After Effects, you can easily access media, add collaborators, share for review, upload your timeline for sharing, share in presentation mode, and import comments and annotations directly into your project. Make the most of Frame.io by starting within the app and then moving to the web interface for advanced features.
Frame.io is built into the latest versions of Premiere Pro and After Effects and it is included with Creative Cloud subscription.
A. Select from the available projects or Add project B. Upload and download media C. Manage versions D. Add collaborators E. Share projects
When you’re ready to collaborate, create a new project inside Frame.io. In the Frame.io panel menu bar, you can upload specific files or the current active sequence and choose the specific settings for that project.
The Frame.io web app offers additional functionality such as more powerful collaboration tools, version management, and project sharing for review and comment. The web app also includes Camera to Cloud - the fastest, easiest, and most secure way to get footage from cameras into Frame.io.
A. List of projects B. All media C. Links of all projects sent out for review D. Links of all branded presentations E. List of all camera 2 cloud connections
Upload media
Frame.io will accept any file uploaded to your project. File types that support viewers and reviewing features include all standard video, image, audio, and PDF types.
Upload media in Premiere Pro
Or, select Upload > Active Sequence on the top of your Frame.io window.
- Active Comp uploads selected comps from the Timeline.
- Queued Comps uploads comps that are queued for render in the Render Queue. learn more about Render Queue.
For more information about how the various Upload options work, see Using the After Effects extension.
Upload active sequence and active comp
With the Active Sequence option in Premiere Pro and the Active Comp and Queued Comps options in After Effects, you can render and upload the Timeline directly in to Frame.io for sharing without leaving the app.
- Name: What you want the file to be called in Frame.io
- Preset: The render preset you want to use.
- Range: Whether you want to export the whole sequence, or what's between an In & Out point.
- Render to: Where the exported file lives on disk.
- Export markers at comments - Turns timeline markers into Frame.io comments when uploaded.
- Keep rendered file - Keeps the exported file on disk at the above location. Turning off deletes the files once the upload is complete
- Auto-version - Adds new versions of a sequence to a Frame.io version stack.
Points to note
.png){kind=icon}
In both cases, if you choose to upload folders, Frame.io retains the folder structure automatically.
No need to compress your media beforehand. Upload your largest files, and Frame.io plays it back smoothly when it's ready. Frame.io uses an accelerated file uploader.
Frame.io encodes the files into H.264 videos to play seamlessly on the web while making the original file available for download.
After the upload is complete, Frame.io instantly creates hover scrubs for videos, and thumbnails for your still images. Non-media file types are identified with a file icon.
The proxy bitrates used for streaming are:
- 4k (2160p): 12 ~ 20 Mbps
- 1080p: 4 ~ 7 Mbps
- 720p: 3 ~ 5 Mbps
- 540p: 2 ~ 3 Mbps
- 360p: 1 ~ 2 Mbps
- Open your project or file in the Frame.io panel.
- Click Share For Review. A shareable link generates automatically.
- Copy the link to dashboard and share it offline using the chain link icon. For advanced sharing capabilities, go to Frame.io on the web.
Add comments
Reviewers can comment on specific video frames in the text field below the composition window. Use the annotation options such as font color to customize the comments before posting. These comments appear in the Comment list panel on the left, where you can view every comment along with the timestamp. You can post a reply, delete a comment, and mark a comment as complete in the Comment list.
Navigate the Timeline with the comment list
When you click a comment, it takes you to the specific video frame to which it was added. Simply click any comment to navigate through the Timeline.
Import comments as markers in Premiere Po
After you receive feedback from reviewers, you can import their comments as markers on your timeline.
To import comments, you first need to link your sequence with the Frame.io video. This is automatically done if you previously uploaded your sequence through the extension. But you can also link a video to your sequence manually.
-
In the Frame.io panel, double-click the clip to open the player. Available comments display on the play bar, click a comment to jump to the exact frame in the video. If it doesn't work, click the Link Playheads icon at the bottom middle of the player.
Clicking the Link Playheads icon Clicking the Link Playheads icon -
Once the video is linked, a purple badge is shown on the clip, indicating it is linked to the sequence.
