You've been invited to review a video

Client portalUpdated September 2, 20261 min read

The studio you are working with uses RecReview to send work for review. You got a link. Open it in any browser — there is no account to create, nothing to install, and no cost to you.

The portal Home page, with what is happening now and the items awaiting your review

  • A portal link — one page holding everything the studio shares with you: videos, photo galleries, scripts, production plans and deadlines. It stays at the same address, so keep it.
  • A single video link — one cut, opened straight in the review player.
  • A gallery link — a set of photos to look through and pick from.

What happens when you open it

The studio decides how much identification the link asks for, so you will see one of three things:

  1. The content, straight away.
  2. Identify yourself — a short form asking your name and email.
  3. Sign in to the portal — a 6-digit code sent to your email. See Signing in.

What you can do

  • Watch the cut, scrub, and pause on any frame.
  • Comment on an exact moment. Your note is pinned to the second you were on, so nobody has to guess where “that bit near the start” is.
  • Reply to what the team or your colleagues wrote.
  • Approve the video, or ask for changes.
  • Download the final file, once the studio allows it.

It all works on a phone too — see Reviewing on your phone.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to create an account?
No. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to install. Depending on how the studio set the link up, you either open it directly, type your name and email once, or confirm a 6-digit code sent to your email.
Is it safe to comment before everyone else has seen it?
Yes. Comments are not a verdict. Leave your notes as you watch, then approve or request changes when you are ready.
