Collaboration

Shared projects for the whole production team

Invite editors, directors, and translators into your project by email. Role-based access means everyone sees the right material without stepping on each other's work. Notes attach to the line, the beat, or the row they are about, so a discussion about a quote lives on the quote instead of in somebody's inbox.

A working sandbox. No sign-up, no project. Sample data only.

  • Invite by email. Pending invites stay in the project until accepted.
  • Three roles: Owner controls the project; Editor can edit transcripts and paper cuts; Viewer reads and exports only.
  • Notes on transcript passages, beats and paper cut rows, open to anyone who can open the document.
  • Name a colleague in a note and it lands in their notifications with a link back to the exact spot.
  • Share individual files or live sessions with a public link. No account needed for the recipient.

How it works

Three steps from raw material to result.

STEP 01

Send the invite

Enter an email address and pick a role. The recipient gets a link; on acceptance they land straight in the project with the permissions you set.

Work on the same material

Collaborators see the same files, speakers, paper cuts, and beat sheets. Changes by any member apply project-wide.

Argue in the margin

Leave a note where the disagreement actually is. Name whoever needs to answer it and they get a link straight to that row. Mark it resolved when the cut moves on.

Notes that sit on the line they are about

Leave a note on a transcript passage, a beat, or a paper cut row. Name a colleague and it lands in their notifications with a link straight back to the spot. A viewer can leave one, because a note is how somebody without edit rights says what they think.

NOTES ON THE LINE

ACT 2 · ROW 14 · 01:12:04
MARCUS T. I filed the memo on the Tuesday. By Thursday nobody would say they had read it.

This is the strongest version of the memo line. The Day 04 take is cleaner but he hedges.
Viewers can leave notes. Resolving one needs edit rights.

Frequently asked questions

How many collaborators can a project have?

There is no hard cap on project members. Each added collaborator uses one invite slot; contact us if you are coordinating a large team.

What can an Editor do that a Viewer cannot?

Editors can edit transcript text, rename speakers, add or modify paper cut rows, and create beat sheets. Viewers can read, search, export, and leave notes, but cannot change the material.

Can a viewer leave notes?

Yes. Leaving a note is how somebody without edit rights says what they think, so requiring edit rights to leave one would defeat the point. Marking a note resolved is an editorial decision and does need edit rights. Editing the words of a note belongs to whoever wrote them.

What happens when I name someone in a note?

They get a notification linking straight to the line, beat, or row it sits on. Only people who can already open the document can be named, so a note never becomes a way to send somebody a link they cannot follow. Naming yourself does nothing, because that is a reminder rather than a summons.

Can I share a file without giving full project access?

Yes. A file share link gives access to that file only: transcript, translation, and audio. The recipient does not need an account and does not see other files in the project.

Do collaborators use their own credits?

No. All AI operations in a project (transcription, translation, indexing) are billed to the project owner.
