Collaboration, meet efficiency: A new way to review videos

Vimeo Staff
New review pages make it easier than ever to securely share rough cuts and gather feedback with time-coded notes — all on Vimeo.

You put videos out into the world. But before you’re ready to publish them, you likely need to share rough cuts with your reviewers, and collect their feedback. That’s where our all-new video review pages come in. Now you can click anywhere on a video to add a note and incorporate review seamlessly into your entire video workflow — all on Vimeo, all included in your Vimeo PRO or Business membership.

Need a client to give you scene-specific feedback? Want to let your freelance filmmaker know about some weird coloring on a particular scene? Go for it! It’s simple to share videos securely with reviewers, who can click directly on the video to add time-coded notes. And you can say sayonara to costly third-party services and endless email chains: we’ve got your video-making process covered from start to finish, saving you both time and dollars.

How it works

Streamlined collaboration, unlimited reviewers Let’s say you’ve uploaded your rough cut to Vimeo.Now when you click the “Review page” button on your video page, you’ll be taken to a sleek, easy-to-use page, which allows you and your reviewers to focus on the task at hand. Share the unlisted video link with as many reviewers as you choose, who can instantly start offering feedback.

And if you want an unbranded video review page, that’s no problem: you can opt to remove the Vimeo logo right from your settings. Add time-coded notes, right in the video (in both your browser and on mobile) Once reviewers land on the page, they can click directly on a frame, anywhere in the video, to leave feedback in a time-coded note. You can also treat notes as “to-dos” to remind yourself to come back to them later, and check them off when they’re resolved.

Reply to feedback in real time You and other reviewers can respond to feedback in real time by hitting “Reply” on individual notes — whether you’re in different offices or even different countries.

Seamless publishing and sharing Once you’ve incorporated all the feedback, upload your new cut to Vimeo to share it with the world, or just with the people you choose. But video review pages are just one of the myriad tools at your disposal: Vimeo pro and up subscribers enjoy features like advanced privacy and the ability to add team members to their accounts and choose permissions.We’ll be adding even more features to our video review pages soon to make your video workflow even smoother. Have feedback? Go ahead, leave a review for us in the comments.

Don't forget to explore all of Vimeo's cutting-edge tools, including the AI script creator, video teleprompter, captioning generator, and video translator to streamline your video creation process.

Vimeo review tools just got better

Our Vimeo Review tools are designed to enhance your video collaboration experience like never before. These robust features are integrated into the same ad-free Vimeo platform you already utilize for hosting and sharing.

You'll receive quicker, clearer feedback through time-stamped comments that can be easily organized and addressed, eliminating any confusing delays. Additionally, we ensure everyone stays informed with status labels and a complete version history, so your team is always aware of which cut is the latest. When it comes to sharing, you can generate custom, secure review links with options for passwords, expiration dates, and specific permissions, giving you full control.

For the best workflow, you can sync feedback directly with Adobe Premiere Pro, enabling you to export cuts straight from your timeline. Vimeo Review tools are accessible on all plans, with advanced controls available for teams on paid and Enterprise tiers.
