Quick answer

Run a client video review workflow for filmmakers from the first exported cut through timecoded feedback, resolved corrections, and final delivery. GalleryDock organizes review of exported cuts and final delivery; it does not edit footage, manage production tasks, provide formal legal acceptance, or transfer comments into an editing timeline.

Workflow

Run one controlled client review

Keep each handoff explicit so the client knows what to review and the filmmaker knows what happens next.

Prepare the current cut

Export the version intended for this client decision.

Collect contextual notes

Let the client pause and comment at the relevant moment.

Clarify and resolve

Keep follow-up questions in the same thread and track status.

Verify and deliver

Check the corrected export and complete the final handoff.

Review focus

Keep every decision in context

Ask for decisions that belong to the current export instead of collecting vague reactions across several channels.

Story

Confirm the message and narrative order.

Edit

Review pacing, transitions, and shot choices.

Sound and look

Check speech, music, mix, and visual treatment.

Graphics

Verify names, titles, logos, and calls to action.

Quality control

Verify before the final handoff

A reliable review needs a tested client path and an honest boundary around what the software does.

Test the client path

Open the client view on desktop and mobile, play the intended export, and check that the next action is clear without horizontal overflow.

Brief the reviewer

Use client-facing language and state what kind of decision is needed in this round.

Keep the product boundary clear

GalleryDock organizes review of exported cuts and final delivery; it does not edit footage, manage production tasks, provide formal legal acceptance, or transfer comments into an editing timeline.

Close the loop deliberately

Resolve every open point, verify the corrected export, and only then deliver or share the next version.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about this workflow

What is a client video review workflow for filmmakers?

It is a repeatable path from an exported cut to contextual client notes, clarified decisions, completed corrections, and verified delivery.

Does the client need a GalleryDock account?

No. Invited clients can review the export through the private gallery path.

Can story, sound, and graphics be reviewed together?

Yes. Each note stays attached to the relevant moment while the wording explains which production decision needs attention.

How do filmmakers track open corrections?

Use open and completed status to separate unresolved requests from corrections that have been checked.

Does GalleryDock replace editing software?

No. The filmmaker applies the agreed changes manually in the chosen editing application.

Can the final video be delivered in the same client space?

Yes. The branded gallery can support the review and the final client handoff.
