Run a video review

Intermediate5 min readUpdated May 2026

Video review in Curtyn collects feedback on the frame, not in a group chat. Comments land at an exact timecode, and everyone reviews the same cut. This guide covers running a review from upload to sign-off.

Before you start

You'll need a project and a video file in it. See “Upload and organize your media” if you haven't added one yet.

1

Open a video in the review player

Select a clip to open it in the review player. The timeline runs along the bottom, and that is where every comment in this review will sit.

2

Comment on a frame

Pause on the frame you want to talk about and leave a comment. It attaches to that exact timecode, so there is no describing where in the cut you mean. The reviewer just clicks the marker.

3

Bring your reviewers in

Give the people who need to weigh in a seat as reviewers, or send a share link. Either way, everyone is looking at the same cut and the same set of comments.

Tip

For a client, a share link is usually enough. They can watch and comment without an account. The guide on sharing a project covers it.

4

Reply and resolve comments

Reply to a comment to ask a question or confirm a change. When a note is handled, mark it resolved. The list of open comments becomes your shot list of fixes for the next version.

5

Upload a new version

When the edit is updated, upload it as a new version of the same file. The comment history stays with it, so everyone sees what changed and why. The guide on file versions covers this in full.

6

Sign the cut off

When the feedback is in and addressed, mark the version approved. The review now has a clear, recorded outcome, and the cut everyone agreed on is the one on the latest version.
