Streamline Reviews From First Cut to Final Approval

Each version upload initiates a review round. Reviewers leave time-coded comments, the editor addresses them, and a new version is uploaded. RecReview tracks which comments were resolved between versions, giving producers a clear view of revision progress.

This structure prevents the common scenario where feedback from round one reappears in round three because someone did not check the earlier comments. The system maintains a complete history of what was said, when it was addressed, and what the resolution was.

Producers can enforce that all comments must be resolved before a version can be submitted for approval. This quality gate ensures that nothing slips through the cracks during busy production schedules.

Every video has a review status: none, needs review, approved, or changes requested. This status is visible on the kanban board, in project views, and in the client portal. There is never any ambiguity about where a video stands in the approval process.

When a client or stakeholder sets the status to "approved," the action is recorded with a timestamp and the reviewer identity. This creates an auditable approval record that protects both the studio and the client from disputes about what was signed off.

Complex projects often require approval from multiple stakeholders: the creative director, the brand manager, the legal team, the client. RecReview tracks approval from each reviewer independently so you know who has signed off and who is still reviewing.

Different stakeholders can be given different access levels. The client might see the video and leave comments through the client portal. The legal reviewer might see the video plus the script. The creative director sees everything including internal notes. Each reviewer gets exactly the context they need to make their decision.

Notifications keep the review moving. When one stakeholder approves, others are prompted to complete their review. When all approvals are in, the task automatically advances to the next stage if automations are configured.

Connect approvals to workflow automations. When a video is approved, automatically change the task status, notify the delivery team, trigger a webhook, or move the project to the next phase. When changes are requested, automatically route the task back to the editor with the review comments flagged.

These approval-driven workflows eliminate the manual handoff between review and delivery. The moment a client approves, the machinery of delivery kicks in without a producer needing to manually update statuses, send emails, or reassign tasks.
