Round three isn't free.

Lockcut turns client feedback into submitted rounds, visible limits, paid change orders, and final approval that locks the cut.

You've said this yourself

Revision pain is already in the open.

it's never just 'one small change' — it's breaking the export flow, reopening timelines… sometimes I feel like I spend more time fixing micro-notes than actually editing.

How it works

The contract clause, enforced.

01

Share a link.

No client login. No seat negotiation before they can leave a timestamped note.

02

Comments pile into a draft round.

Notes stay gathered until the client is done. Your to-do list does not update every five minutes.

03

Client submits the round.

One list, one re-export. The feedback is a package, not a drip feed.

04

Approve, pay, or lock.

When rounds run out, the next round becomes a paid change order. Final approval locks the cut.

Audio too

Mix notes belong on the waveform.

Mix engineers get timestamped comments on a waveform, the same submitted rounds engine, and the same visible limit before another bounce becomes unpaid work.

Pricing

FAQ

Plain answers before the next export.

What happens when rounds run out?

The next round becomes a change order with your extra-round price attached. The client approves it before more feedback enters your queue.

Do my clients need an account?

No. They open the review link, leave timestamped notes, and submit the round. Client reviewers stay free forever.

Does it handle video and audio?

Yes. Video notes land on frames and timelines. Audio notes land on waveform timestamps, with the same round counter and approval flow.

How is this different from Frame.io?

Frame.io is built around review, sharing, and team seats. Lockcut is built around revision boundaries: submitted rounds, visible limits, paid change orders, and final lock.

What if my client refuses?

Software cannot fix bad faith. It can make the agreement visible before more work happens, so you are not inventing the boundary after revision three arrives.

Can I still include two revisions in my contract?

Yes. Lockcut turns that clause into the review flow: Round 1 of 2, Round 2 of 2, then a paid change order or final approval.
