WATCH THE LOCAL WORKFLOW

From one precise note
to a checked export.

An edited walkthrough of the actual beta: protect a good edit, assign a change to one video, freeze the handoff and record the returned-file checks.

61 seconds · silent, with on-screen descriptions · invented project and synthetic colour clips. Checks are recorded by the reviewer; the app does not automatically review footage.

KEEP YOUR OWN WORKING COPY

Your footage stays with you.
Your handoff travels.

Work locally, attach video files for playback and save project JSON files as portable backups. The handoff is the document you share with your editor.

BEFORE YOU START

A few practical details.

Does my editor need an account?

The HTML and Markdown handoffs are static files. Your editor can read the HTML in a browser. A handoff is an instruction document, not a live collaboration link.

Does Revision Desk review the video for me?

You perform the check and record what you observed. The app keeps those observations tied to the saved round and returned-file version. It does not automatically watch or approve footage.

Where is my project saved?

The local browser workspace stays on your computer. Keep using the same Chrome profile and local address, and download project JSON backups regularly. Browser data can be cleared; the JSON file lets you reopen the project.

What do I need for the local beta?

A Mac, Google Chrome and Node.js 22 or newer. The package runs a local server with a launcher and an open terminal window. It is not a signed native Mac app. A first launch on a fresh Mac has not yet been verified.
