GalleryDock client gallery used to send a finished video professionally

Quick answer

The most professional way to send videos to clients is to separate presentation from file transfer. Give the client one private gallery where the finished film opens in the browser, the project has a clear identity, and approved downloads remain under your control. GalleryDock can keep videos and photographs together without turning the final handoff into a cloud-folder scavenger hunt.

Before you share

Define what the client is receiving

A finished-film delivery needs a clear scope. Decide which versions belong in the project, what can be downloaded, and what the client should do after opening the link.

Choose the final versions

Remove review exports and outdated cuts. Name the approved master, social versions, and optional extras so the client cannot confuse them.

Prepare the presentation

Use a recognizable project title and cover, then arrange the media in the order the client should experience it.

Decide on downloads

Browser viewing and file ownership are separate decisions. Enable downloads only for the versions included in the delivery.

Write one next step

Tell the client whether the project is final, whether feedback is still expected, and where approved files can be downloaded.

Four-step workflow

Move from export to client handoff

A repeatable sequence prevents last-minute link changes and keeps the final delivery separate from editing review.

Export the approved masters

Finish technical quality control before upload and keep temporary review versions outside the final client project.

Upload the project media

GalleryDock supports video uploads up to 30 GB per file, subject to the current product limits shown in the app.

Check the client view

Open the private gallery on desktop and mobile, verify playback, ordering, profile details, and download behavior.

Send one private link

Use a short delivery message that names the project, the included versions, and the action expected from the client.

Keep the tools in their lane

Separate review, presentation, and transfer

One platform does not need to perform every production task. Use each step for the decision it handles best and keep the client-facing finish intentional.

Editing review comes first

Resolve timecode notes and cut revisions before the project is labeled as the final delivery.

Presentation gives context

A gallery explains who created the work, which project it belongs to, and how the client should consume it.

Downloads deliver ownership

When the contract includes files, make the approved master available without forcing every viewer to download before watching.

Archives remain separate

A client delivery link is not a replacement for your own production archive, backup policy, or long-term master storage.

Comparison

Ways to send finished videos

Choose the delivery method according to whether the client needs a preview, a file transfer, or a polished project experience.

Approach	Best for	Tradeoff
Email attachment	A very small reference clip	Size limits and inconsistent compression
Messenger	Fast informal previews	Compression and weak version control
Transfer link	Moving one large master file	Limited presentation and project context
Public video platform	Publishing and reach	The platform surrounds the client work
GalleryDock client gallery	Private presentation and controlled delivery	Not a frame-accurate editing-review tool

Commercial film delivery

A marketing team receives the approved master and short versions inside one clearly labeled project.

Event recap package

The client watches the highlight first and finds full sessions or interviews in the same private gallery.

Hybrid photo-video assignment

Portraits, event photographs, and the finished film arrive through one consistent client experience.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about this workflow

What is the best way to send videos to clients?

For a final professional handoff, use a private client space that supports browser viewing, clear project context, and controlled downloads of approved files.

Can GalleryDock deliver photos and videos together?

Yes. A GalleryDock project can combine photographs and video, which is useful for weddings, events, and commercial hybrid assignments.

Can clients watch without downloading first?

The gallery provides browser playback so clients can view the project before deciding whether to download an approved original file.

Can I control video downloads?

Yes. Download behavior is part of the gallery setup and should be verified before the delivery link is sent.

How large can a GalleryDock video upload be?

GalleryDock currently supports video uploads up to 30 GB per file. Confirm current in-product limits before promising an unusual delivery in a client contract.

Is GalleryDock a replacement for Frame.io?

No. GalleryDock is positioned for polished presentation and delivery, not frame-accurate timecode review during editing.
