For videographers & media teams
ShootPortal is video review software for client work. Clients comment at a timestamp, pin the comment to a spot in the frame, and reply in threads. You post a new version, resolve what's done, and deliver the approved video from the same project.
Feedback by email
Video revisions go wrong because feedback arrives without a timestamp, a frame, or a version. Sound familiar?
"Near the start" and "the drone part" cost you a full rewatch to find the moment.
Some feedback comes by email, some by text, some on a call, and one note always gets missed.
The client comments on v1 after you've already sent v2, and nobody notices until the second call.
When you reply "done", there's no record of which note it answered.
You review in one tool, deliver through another, and invoice in a third.
A thumbs-up in a text message isn't a clear approval when there are four deliverables.

A review round in ShootPortal
Video review lives on the project, next to the shoot details, the photos, and the payment.
Review features
Time-stamped comments
Comments are tied to the playback time, and the author can pin each one to a point on the frame, so "swap this clip" points at the clip. Timeline markers show where the feedback sits in the video.
Versions
Upload a new version to the same review. Versions are numbered, the client is notified, and the comment history stays with the video, so you can see what was asked for on v1 and what changed in v2.
Approval
Approval happens at the deliverable level. The client approves each video and photo set, or flags it and writes what needs to change. For bigger changes they can submit a revision request, which you move from pending to in progress to completed.
Delivery
Video review is part of the project, so delivery isn't a separate step in a separate tool. Approved videos sit alongside the photos, 360 tours, and 3D embeds. Downloads can wait until the project is paid and delivered.
Notifications
New client comments and reopened feedback notify the team by email, push, and in-app.
Clients are notified of your replies and new versions.
Email and push notifications are grouped over a short window instead of one per comment.
