Question 1

What is video review and approval?

Accepted Answer

Review and approval is the workflow of collecting feedback on a specific file version and recording who signed off. Kreatli pins comments to frames or regions, tracks status, and keeps an audit trail on that version. This page is the team process; the video reviewer is the player you use to leave the notes.

Question 2

How does version comparison work in Kreatli?

Accepted Answer

Kreatli's version comparison feature lets you view different versions of the same file side-by-side. You can compare video versions, image revisions, or document iterations to spot changes instantly. This is perfect for creative proofing where you need to see what changed between versions. The side-by-side view makes it easy to identify differences, provide precise feedback, and ensure nothing is missed. All versions are stored with their full history, so you can compare any previous version with the current one.

Question 3

Can clients review files without creating an account?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kreatli offers no-signup guest review links that allow clients and external collaborators to review files, provide feedback, and approve versions without creating an account. Simply generate a secure shareable link and send it to your client. They can access the review interface, watch videos, view images, add frame-accurate comments, and approve versions—all without signing up. This eliminates approval delays caused by account creation barriers and makes client collaboration seamless.

Question 4

How secure is file sharing in Kreatli?

Accepted Answer

Kreatli provides enterprise-grade security for file sharing. You can generate password-protected links, set expiration dates for shareable links, control access permissions, and track who accessed which files. All files are encrypted in transit and at rest. Unlike email attachments or generic file sharing services, Kreatli gives you granular control over who can view, comment, and approve files. You can revoke access at any time and see a complete audit trail of who reviewed what and when.

Question 5

How do approval workflows work in Kreatli?

Accepted Answer

Kreatli's approval workflows track the approval status for each asset. You can see which files are pending approval, which have been approved, and which are blocked. Each approval is permanently recorded with the exact file version, timestamp, and user information. You can require multiple approvers and track which reviewers have approved and which are still pending. The system maintains complete approval history, so you always know who approved what version and when. This creates an audit trail that protects both agencies and clients.

Question 6

What file types can be reviewed in Kreatli?

Accepted Answer

Kreatli supports review for videos (MP4, MOV, AVI, and more), images (JPG, PNG, GIF, etc.), PDFs, and other document formats. The platform is optimized for video review with frame-accurate commenting, but also handles images and documents for comprehensive creative proofing. You can review any creative asset in your production workflow, making Kreatli suitable for video production, animation, graphic design, and mixed-media projects.

Question 7

How does Kreatli compare to Frame.io for video review?

Accepted Answer

Kreatli offers similar frame-accurate review capabilities as Frame.io but with key advantages: no-signup client links that reduce approval delays from days to hours, unlimited projects and team members at competitive pricing, and a unified platform that replaces multiple tools (not just video review). While Frame.io focuses primarily on video review, Kreatli provides comprehensive project management, asset organization, and collaboration features in one platform. Many video production teams switch from Frame.io to Kreatli to consolidate tooling spend while gaining better project organization and faster client approvals.

Question 8

Can multiple people review the same file simultaneously?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Multiple reviewers can access and comment on the same file simultaneously in Kreatli. Each reviewer can add frame-accurate comments, and all feedback is visible to everyone in real-time. This is perfect for multi-stakeholder approval workflows where directors, producers, editors, and clients all need to provide feedback. You can see who commented on what, track which reviewers have approved, and ensure nothing gets missed. Real-time notifications keep everyone updated as new comments and approvals come in.

Question 9

How do I track which version a client approved?

Accepted Answer

In Kreatli, every approval is permanently linked to the exact file version that was approved. When a client approves a version, the system records the specific version number, timestamp, and user information. You can see the complete approval history for any file, showing which version was approved by whom and when. This eliminates confusion about which version received approval and creates a clear audit trail. If a new version is uploaded, the approval status resets, ensuring clients only approve the versions they've actually reviewed.

Question 10

Is Kreatli suitable for large video files?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kreatli supports large video file uploads and sharing without file size limitations. You can upload and share full-quality videos directly with clients and collaborators through secure review links—no compression, no quality loss. Whether you're working with 4K footage, 8K masters, or 15GB+ documentary files, Kreatli handles them seamlessly. Clients can review full-quality videos in their browser without downloading anything. This eliminates the need for WeTransfer, compressed previews, or external file sharing services.
