Description

Picture this

You’ve submitted your video for client review and the client has left a bunch of comments which you need to implement. To do so you’ll need to either switch back and forth between After Effects and the website or print out all the comments and refer to those.

Now you have a third option though! Review Importer will enable you to add them to your AE comp as a text layer so you won't need to leave AE to view the feedback.

Review Importer imports video review comments directly onto your timeline.

Kollaborate.tv, Vimeo, Frame.io and Screenlight.tv are currently supported.

Frame.io
