Krock.io

Krock.io is a media review and collaboration platform designed to connect and streamline the workflow for creative teams, including video production companies, advertising agencies, animation studios, and content creators. It aims to significantly reduce the time spent on managing reviews and approvals, decrease the number of versions needed before final approval, and accelerate overall project completion. The platform provides a unified, secure online workspace for teams to collaborate regardless of their physical location.

How to use Krock.io

Using Krock.io involves a straightforward, step-by-step process to manage creative projects from start to finish:

1. Set Up Your Project: Create a dedicated workspace and project within Krock.io. Use the interactive Board tool to plan your project, create storyboards, develop animatics, and write scripts.
2. Upload Media: Upload all relevant media files, including videos, images (PSD, AI formats supported), audio files, and PDFs.
3. Invite Collaborators: Invite team members, clients, and other stakeholders to review the media. You can assign specific roles and permissions to control access.
4. Gather Precise Feedback: Reviewers can leave time-coded comments directly on videos, draw on frames to highlight specific areas, and attach files to their feedback. This eliminates ambiguity and ensures clarity.
5. Iterate and Compare Versions: Upload new versions based on feedback. Krock.io's version comparison tools, such as the overlay and auto-compare modes, make it easy to see changes between revisions.
6. Integrate with Editing Software: Use the Krock.io plugins for Adobe Creative Cloud (e.g., Premiere Pro, After Effects) to sync time-coded comments as markers directly into your editing timeline, streamlining the revision process.
7. Manage and Approve: Track project progress, manage tasks, and get final approvals all within the same platform, keeping your workflow organized and efficient.
