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!

Something that would really be helpful would to be to optionall overlay/copy the comments of older versions onto a new version. Here's the use case: I'm working on a video and we get some comments from a client to change a specific shot or edit something at a timecode. We make the change, and upload the new version. We need to continue talking about or reference this comment to keep the conversation going about this specific change. As it stands right now, all old comments are lost with new versions – you can switch to the older version but clients aren't going to do that and it doesn't really make sense. So currently we have to go in and find that change at the specific time, make a new comment to keep the conversation going. When you have very long videos this gets tedious. It would be great to somehow copy over that comment from that specific user or reference it somehow, instead of it completely being locked in older versions. This would also be useful for times when a new reviewer steps in and has no idea what has been done or why. Or when we have long videos and just need to pinpoint a specific time. The ability to reference older comments/notes would be great. Basically we need to be able to compare old/new versions in one place.105Views0likes3CommentsIntegrated 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.

G'day, I'm new to replay, so perhaps I just don't know how to do this, but I think having all the comments from a previous version pop up / be visible as you compare it to the new version you have just uploaded would be very useful so that you can check the changes (even though sync might be out due to changes)44Views0likes1CommentCustom Version Numbers/strings
It'd be great to edit version numbers/strings so the dropdown contains custom text. In many naming conventions, versions aren't always whole numbers, and aren't always sequential. If version 3 was just internal and never uploaded, for example, it'd be lovely to have the version numbers sync up with external filenames in Replay, so you could skip version 3 and have versions jump from 2-4. Or if auditioning music for a video, the versions could be called something like "ambient" "acoustic" "energetic" etc ... but still switchable from a simple dropdown menu.53Views0likes1CommentTimecode offset
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.58Views1like1CommentFilter by Versions! (REPLAY)
I'd love to be able to see my comments by version number. When I am reviewing notes and I am on version 8 - I have no reason to see versions 1-7 as well. It is extremely cluttered and takes me forever to find the most recent notes and then check them against my current version. A simple "Filter by version #" dropdown would fix this and save a TON of time. To me - the best thing you can do for your users is save them time. All the other features are secondary compared to efficiency within Replay.101Views0likes2CommentsUpdating 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.95Views1like1CommentReplay Version Stacking
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!346Views1like6Comments
