Frame.io has grown substantially over the last four years as the de-factor video review and collaboration platform entrusted by 650,000 filmmakers and media professionals worldwide, and now in its March 2019 Update the platform adds 10 new features designed to make it even easier for users to get work done.
Some of you recall a few months ago, Frame.io unveiled their Frame.io in Final Cut Pro X, which is an innovative workflow extension that combines the core functionality of Frame.io with the advanced editing tools in FCP X. This update came hot off the heels of another major update to the platform earlier this year, which we covered in our IBC 2018 coverage when we caught up with Frame.io in Amsterdam back in September 2018.
The March 2019 Frame.io Update comes just ahead of NAB 2019 an adds frequently requested new must-have features such as @mentions, archival storage, short links and multi-page PDF support, that will surely contribute to a much smoother collaboration experience for users.
