“Before Frameknot, prepping a board was the part of the job that everyone on the crew quietly dreaded. Now it is the part that moves fastest. Simple to pick up, genuinely good for the review rounds, and it takes whole days out of every pitch we put together.”

Does This Ring a Bell?

We have spent years working inside production houses, and we know exactly how
much a slow planning stage quietly takes out of every month.

Before Frameknot

  • Renumbering frames by hand
  • Export settings redone every time
  • Passing board files around by hand
  • Filenames nobody can decode
  • Notes buried in inbox threads
  • Costly rewrites once you are shooting
  • Clients who stop replying

After Frameknot

  • Frames that renumber themselves
  • One preset, every export format
  • Live board access for crew and clients
  • Filenames that carry the version
  • Notes pinned to the frame itself
  • Sign-off before the camera rolls
  • Clients who book the next job

Move the Prep Stage Out of Your Way
For Good

Frameknot is the planning tool built around the way small studios really work:
editing that keeps pace with you, review your clients can actually join, and
exports that never need a fix.

Self-Numbering Frames

Never Renumber a Frame
by Hand Again…

When you are running a studio, every hour is margin. Frameknot renumbers each frame in a sequence the moment you reorder it, so nobody has to open an image editor again just to fix one caption before a deadline.

Notes & Approvals

Stop the Endless Email
Ping-Pong Loop…

Running a growing studio means the channel matters as much as the work itself. Frameknot keeps the whole conversation on the frame it belongs to — notes, approvals, live updates, and everything your crew needs to stop guessing about what changed since the last pass.

Motion Preview

Let Them Watch It…

Some clients need to watch it move before they can picture it. Play a board back as a timed preview with captions and sound, so the shape of the cut is obvious long before you shoot.
