Quick answer

Use a DaVinci Resolve client feedback workflow: export from Edit, Color, Fairlight, or Fusion, collect timestamped client notes in GalleryDock, apply them manually, and share a verified new version. GalleryDock is the client review layer after export; it is not a DaVinci Resolve plugin, marker import, bidirectional sync, Blackmagic Cloud replacement, or timeline version-control system.

Workflow

Run a controlled client workflow

Keep each handoff explicit so the client and creative team know what happens next.

01

Export from Resolve

Create the intended review file after the current Edit, Color, Fairlight, and Fusion work.

02

Share through GalleryDock

Upload the export and invite the client through the private gallery path.

03

Apply notes manually

Read the timestamped feedback and make the approved corrections in Resolve.

04

Export and verify again

Create the next version, check it against every resolved note, and share the verified result.

Project-specific review

Keep every decision in context

Review the decisions that belong to this project instead of collecting vague approval messages.

Edit

Review structure, shot choice, pacing, transitions, and graphic timing.

Color

Confirm the approved look and identify shots that need manual grading attention.

Fairlight

Check speech, music, effects, balance, and the client-facing mix.

Fusion and graphics

Verify compositing, titles, logos, and animated elements in the exported result.

Quality control

Verify before the final handoff

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

Test the client view

Open the client view on desktop and mobile. Check access, readable labels, media playback or product choices, and the next action without horizontal overflow.

Write for the client

Use names and instructions the client understands. Keep internal production language out of the final handoff unless it helps them make a decision.

Keep the product boundary clear

GalleryDock is the client review layer after export; it is not a DaVinci Resolve plugin, marker import, bidirectional sync, Blackmagic Cloud replacement, or timeline version-control system.

Close the loop deliberately

Resolve every open point, verify the intended final file or order state, and only then publish or deliver the next version.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about this workflow

Is GalleryDock a DaVinci Resolve plugin?

No. Export a review version from Resolve and share that file through the client gallery.

Do GalleryDock comments become Resolve markers?

No marker import or synchronization is claimed. The editor applies the client notes manually in Resolve.

Can clients review without Resolve?

Yes. Clients use the private gallery review path rather than the editing application.

Does GalleryDock replace Blackmagic Cloud?

No. It provides a separate client review and delivery path after export.

How do we track implemented corrections?

Keep the client discussion in its timestamped thread, mark resolved items, apply changes in Resolve, and verify the next export.

Does GalleryDock manage timeline versions?

No timeline version-control system is claimed. Use clear export names and your production versioning process.
