Dropbox Replay
12 TopicsDropbox Replay and Avid Media Composer
It is essential to make Dropbox Replay compatible with Avid Media Composer Adobe Premiere Pro is very useful for small and medium productions. DaVinci resolve is mainly used for color grading. Sometimes in editing. But when it comes to large productions, involving multiple collaborations such as VFX and compositing houses, using softwares like Nuke or Silhouette, we enter a different league. They all, without exception, use the MXF file format. So far, MC is the only software that does not use linked files. Everything is imported into a specific folder, transcoded into MXF, separated from the sources, which makes it the most stable system in the world. A solid rock. For all these reasons, I strongly suggest that Dropbox Replay include Avid Media Composer in the list of compatible editing softwares. Thank you, guys!

I would like to suggest an option to customize the naming conventions for file uploads and downloads on Dropbox Replay. Currently, file uploads retain the name of the original file. Example: if I uploaded "coolvideo_v1" and added a new version named "coolvideo_v2," the Dropbox Replay file would retain the original "coolvideo_v1" name until I manually rename it. On the flip side, file downloads that have a version history add on the version number to the end of the downloaded file. Example: if I had named a file "coolvideo_v2a" but it was listed as version 3 in the version history, the downloaded file would be named "coolvideo_v2a_v3" on my computer. This confuses the communication between our photographers/videographers and our DAM managers. Could we add an option to edit the naming convention rules on Dropbox Replay? Custom naming conventions are already a part of Dropbox when it comes to File Request links. Let's get this added to Dropbox Replay!280Views4likes6CommentsIntegrated Video Publishing & Distribution Platform
Dropbox already holds our video files. Dropbox Replay already lets us collaborate on them. The missing piece? A clean, professional way to publish and distribute them. The Vision Imagine approving a final cut in Replay and publishing it directly to a branded, ad-free video player—hosted right from your existing Dropbox storage. No re-uploading. No third-party platforms eating into your budget. Just seamless delivery. Core Features Ad-Free Branded Player Custom player controls, your colors, your logo. Professional presentation without the clutter of platform ads or recommended videos pulling viewers away. Native Replay Integration Approve a video in Replay → publish with one click. The workflow stays inside Dropbox from raw footage to final delivery. Social Distribution Bridge Push to YouTube, Instagram, Vimeo, LinkedIn, and others from a single dashboard. Stop downloading, reformatting, and manually uploading to five different platforms. Unified Analytics View counts, engagement, and performance metrics across all platforms in one place. No more hopping between native analytics tools. Bandwidth-Based Pricing This is key. We're already paying for storage. Charging again for the same bytes doesn't make sense. Price tiers based on monthly bandwidth or views would be far more logical and competitive. Why This Makes Sense for Dropbox You've built the storage. You've built the collaboration layer with Replay. Video hosting is the natural third pillar — and it keeps users inside the Dropbox ecosystem rather than pushing them to Vimeo, Wistia, or others. For creators, agencies, and businesses already using Dropbox for video workflows, this would be a compelling reason to consolidate even further.

When working on longform projects (feature films) it's pretty common to upload scenes/sections that have embedded timecode. Currently every dropbox replay comment starts at 0:00.000. It'd be very helpful (especially for comment export) to have a timecode offset for each uploaded file. So if I'm uploading a section of a film that starts at timecode 02:10:11:18, for example, the comments will begin at that timecode rather than at 00:00:00:00 Ideally, dropbox replay could reference the timecode embedded in the uploaded files to find this offset, or even read a portion of the screen (often timecode is embedded in the image) to figure out the offset. But even having a manual offset would be lovely.59Views1like1CommentUpdating view-only links in Dropbox Replay
It would be great if you could update videos with in view-only links or if they act like "live" feedback links. At the moment view-only links are locked to the version at which you selected, if there was an another version at the top which said "live" or something similar, which always showed the most up to date video file, but in a view-only setting, that would be perfect.96Views1like1CommentSRT editing in Dropbox Replay
It would be great if clients could edit subtitles directly in Dropbox Replay when checking for spelling. Currently, you can upload the SRT text and view it on the right side, but people without an account are unable to edit it. This would be a great update for Dropbox Replay users.

Version stacking process should be simplified. Currently, you have to select the file > go to the drop down menu > select "new version" > choose the directory > select the new file > click "upload." This is very time consuming when working with 100's of images with multiple versions. Ideally, I would drag and drop all the revised files into the web browser > wait for the upload to finish > sort by name > click and drag the new version over top of the old version. Frame.io does a great job of this exact process. Could you please replicate it!347Views1like6Comments
