Frame.io is a well-known name in video post-production. But as creative workflows expand beyond video, teams find themselves stitching together multiple tools for design review, document markup, and website feedback. Synks consolidates all of that into one platform.
With Synks, your video editors get the same NLE plugin sync they're used to, while designers, copywriters, and web developers get purpose-built annotation tools for their file types. Everyone works in one shared project with unified version control and approval tracking.
Frame.io focuses purely on review. For project timelines, time tracking, invoicing, and team communication, you need separate tools. Synks includes a built-in project hub with Gantt charts, checklists, time tracking, revenue management, and team chat — so you can manage the entire project lifecycle without leaving the platform.
Connect your existing workflow with integrations for Slack, Monday.com, ClickUp, Google Drive, Dropbox, Gmail, Google Calendar, Discord, and Microsoft Teams.
