The funding will be instrumental in the company's continued expansion of cloud-based video workflows. The Frame.io platform serves as a valuable tool for creative professionals, offering streamlined video creation processes through the centralization of media assets such as dailies, scripts, storyboards, work-in-progress materials, and more. It facilitates frame-accurate feedback, comments, annotations, and real-time approvals. One of its standout features is its remarkable upload speeds, surpassing those of other cloud hosting services like Vimeo, Box, Dropbox, and similar platforms.

2016. Frame.io created video collaboration extension for Adobe Premiere Pro



The video collaboration tool, Frame.io, has introduced an extension that integrates seamlessly with Adobe Premiere Pro, allowing video editors to utilize its features directly within the editing program. This integration enhances the efficiency of the workflow by enabling editors to respond to changes while working in Premiere. For instance, editors can export content directly from the editing sequence to Frame.io and conveniently add collaborators. The Premiere extension is designed to cater specifically to the needs of editors, while the web application of Frame.io serves as an excellent platform for customers and clients.


2015. Video collaboration startup Frame.io raised $2.2M



Frame.io, the platform that revolutionizes the collaboration process in video production, has secured a funding of $2.2 million. Emery Wells, the co-founder and CEO, shared that Frame.io was born out of his personal frustrations with the existing tools available for working with clients, team members, and other collaborators. While services like Dropbox, Box, or Hightail enable file sharing on typical projects, they often lack a satisfactory video-viewing experience. This often leads to the practice of privately posting videos on platforms like YouTube or Vimeo. However, as Wells pointed out, "Communicating through static emails is cumbersome and results in a jumble of links." Frame.io, on the other hand, allows users to effortlessly upload video, photo, and audio files, view them directly in the browser, compare different versions, make time-stamped annotations and comments, and even draw directly on the video or image.
