Video review for small studios

From first cut to sign-off,one round at a time.

Rounds is video review built around the revision rounds you agreed to. Clients watch, comment and approve from one link, and everyone can see which round you're on.

Why Rounds

Feedback shouldn't cost you a weekend.

Most review tools stop at comments. Rounds also keeps track of what you agreed to, so scope creep is visible before it costs you.

The usual way

  • Notes arrive by email, text, voice memo and a marked-up PDF
  • Files named final_v7_FINAL in four different folders
  • "One more small change" turns into round six
  • The client goes quiet, and the deadline slips on you anyway

With Rounds

  • Every note is pinned to the exact moment in the video
  • Each cut is a numbered version, side by side with the last
  • Rounds you agreed to are counted, and extras are labelled
  • Feedback has a due date, and late feedback moves the plan

Lighter files

Your final cut stays yours until it's paid for.

Rounds turns every upload into a compressed, watermarked review copy and doesn't keep your original. You save on storage, and clients are less likely to take a draft and use it before it's finished and paid for.

The usual way

  • Full-resolution masters fill your storage, project after project
  • Clients get a clean, full-quality file from the review link
  • An unpaid draft quietly ends up on their website or socials
  • Large uploads load slowly for clients on their phones

With Rounds

  • Each upload becomes a compressed review copy, and the original is not kept
  • Your storage stays small, because masters stay on your drive
  • Review copies are watermarked, so a draft is clearly a draft
  • Light files play quickly on any device or connection

How it works

Three steps. Nothing to teach your client.

  1. Upload a cut

    Drop in your export. Rounds makes a light, fast copy for review, so any file plays on any device.

  2. Send one link

    Your client gets a branded page with a password. No account, no app, no training.

  3. Get a clear decision

    They leave notes on the exact frame, then approve or ask for changes. You hear about it straight away.

Built around rounds

The review tool built to protect your rounds.

Comments are only half the job. Rounds keeps the deal in view, so you and your client always know what's included, what's next and when it's due.

  • Agree the rounds up front

    Set how many rounds a deliverable gets. Both sides see "Round 2 of 3" from the first link.

  • A plan your client can see

    Share a simple roadmap with real dates, right on their review page.

  • Feedback that closes the round

    Clients tap Submit feedback when they're done, so notes stop trickling in after the fact.

  • Late feedback moves the dates, not the blame

    If notes arrive late, later dates shift and the reason is shown. Gentle reminders go out before the due date.

  • Extra rounds, clearly labelled

    Need another pass? Add it as an extra round, marked outside the original scope for everyone to see.

Everything in one place

All the review basics, done properly.

The essentials a small studio needs, without the enterprise setup.

For your clients

Your clients will get it the first time.

Reviewers are always free, and they never need an account. They open the link, watch, and tell you what they think.

  • One link and a password. No sign-up, ever.
  • Plays smoothly on phones, tablets and laptops.
  • Tap the moment, type the note. That's the whole lesson.
  • Clear buttons for Approve and Request changes.

Made by a Canadian studio

"We built Rounds for ourselves, because we were tired of rounds that never ended and feedback that showed up a week late."

Rounds started inside a small Canadian video production studio, on real client work. We needed a way to keep scope agreed, feedback on schedule and clients happy, without asking them to learn new software. Now we're opening it up to studios like ours.

Questions

Good questions.

Something else on your mind? Join the waitlist and reply to our first email. A founder reads every one.

Do my clients need an account?

No. You send a link with a password, and they can watch, comment and approve straight away on a phone, tablet or computer. Reviewers are always free.

How do rounds work?

You choose how many rounds a deliverable or project includes, and both you and your client see where you are, such as "Round 2 of 3". When the client is done, they tap Submit feedback, which closes that round.

What happens if a client needs an extra round?

You can add one at any time. It's labelled as outside the original scope, so everyone can see it was extra. Rounds doesn't bill your client for it; how you handle that is up to you.

What if my client sends feedback late?

Dates that depend on their feedback move automatically, fixed dates are marked at risk, and the roadmap shows late feedback as the reason. You can also send reminders before a due date.

How does pricing work?

One flat price per workspace, with unlimited client reviewers and no surprise overages. There are two plans, Freelancer and Studio, and every new workspace starts with a free trial of Studio. Prices will be announced at launch.

Do freelancers I bring in count as seats?

No. Freelancers join a project as Collaborators, and they only see the projects you add them to. The Studio plan includes unlimited Collaborators; the Freelancer plan includes one per project.
