Every other video review tool wants an account, an upload, or a subscription. SceneNote wants none of them. Paste a YouTube, Vimeo, or Dropbox link, share it, and collect feedback in seconds. Timestamped comments, annotations drawn on the frame, voice notes that transcribe themselves, versions, and tasks. Your reviewers never sign up. Export as CSV or EDL and every note lands as a marker in Premiere, Resolve, or Final Cut. Free because we build on links instead of hosting your video.
Hey, I'm Kiril 👋
I've been a filmmaker for 10+ years, and every time I sent a cut for feedback, two things always bugged me. My clients had to make an account just to leave feedback. And.. I was paying a monthly subscription for something I only use at the end of a project. So I built SceneNote: video feedback that's free, and needs no account from anyone.
Whether you're the one editing or the one sending notes back, you know the drill. A cut goes out, and the feedback comes back as a four-minute voice note, or buried in an email chain somewhere. Messy and disorganized 🙅🏻♂️
Now, I know there are already tools that fix this. But every one I tried sat behind a monthly subscription, which never sat right with me. Feedback is a small, specific part of a project. It happens near the end, for a short window, and paying every month for those few days made no sense.
That got me thinking: why can't this just be free?
Turns out most of the cost in these tools is storage and delivery. So I skipped it entirely. SceneNote works off links. Your video stays where it already natively lives (YouTube unlisted, Vimeo, Dropbox etc) and SceneNote builds the feedback layer on top. No hosting, so no bill for you!
Here's the whole thing:
1. Paste a link > share it > collect feedback
2. Leave timestamped comments or annotations on the frame.
3. Export every note into Premiere, Resolve, or Final Cut as markers.
The core stays free forever and will never need an account. If people ask for heavier pro features later, those might become a paid add-on, but what you see today stays free.
Feedback should be easy and frictionless, for the person giving it and the person getting it.
Would love to hear what you think.

That is a clean approach. Keeping the name field right inside the project room means clients do not have to think about it. Good call skipping the account requirement entirely.
The no-account approach for reviewers is the right call - asking clients to sign up somewhere is exactly where this kind of feedback falls apart. One thing I would want to understand about how it works in practice: when multiple people are reviewing the same cut, can I tell who left which comment, or does all the feedback come in without attribution? For a small project with one client it does not matter, but once there are two or three people on the review side, knowing who said what makes responding to specific notes much easier.
Reminds me of Loom videos were the comments can be made on certain timestamps. Good work.
The link model is the right trade, but it hands your accuracy to somebody else's player. YouTube seeks to the nearest keyframe and gives you a float in seconds, so a note that reads 04:12 can land a frame or two off by the time it's a marker in Resolve. And since you never touch the source file you never learn the true frame rate, where 23.976 against 24 drifts about a frame every 42 seconds, which is the kind of error an editor blames on themselves. Are you asking the editor for frame rate or inferring it from the link?
Kiril, this hits a real sore spot for me. Getting notes that land on the exact moment someone means, without making anyone create an account just to comment, takes so much pain out of the back and forth.
This is actually how I discovered SceneNote. My team and I are currently working on a video case study, and breaking down video references has always been a painful process—constantly writing down timestamps, taking screenshots, and organizing everything manually. The key words are: it used to be 🙂
Thanks for building this, @kiril_dobrev. Honestly, I don't even know what to nitpick at this point. I'll keep using SceneNote over the next few weeks and come back with more detailed feedback. Hopefully, I can help make the product even better.
Added it to my bookmarks already 🚀
Pasted a Vimeo link and my reviewer left a note with a sketch in under a minute, no login wall. The Premiere marker export is the kind of feature that quietly saves an hour.
no hosting because the video already lives on youtube/vimeo is a smart cut, not a compromise. with no reviewer login, how do you tell whose note is whose?
Looks amazing!
Was looking for something to give my editor's feedback without paying for many features I don't need!
Cheers Kiril!
