And your client still ends up asking for the file on WhatsApp?
Every hand-off is a copy-paste. You - or your VA - paste the Frame.io link into the ClickUp task, download the approved cut, re-upload it to Metricool, then dig out the file again for the Drive backup. Not one of these tools talks to the next.
On video, images, docs and audio. Every note carries its timecode, version and decision.
Comment on the exact frame Range selections, drawings and voice memos, pinned to the second.
Images and docs too Pin a note to a still, a PDF page or a waveform - same flow, any file type.
Approve or request changes One click ends the round, logged with who, when and which version.

We came from ClickUp and Frame.io. Clients never logged in - they lost the copy-pasted links, could not see project status and had no way to ask for new work. Now they open one link and everything is there.
Polina RemezCreative Director, SFMBefore this it was WhatsApp threads and a Drive folder nobody could navigate. A client told me our review process is the most professional they have seen.

Real numbers from real Timeliner customers.
Timeliner replaced ClickUp + Frame.io + Metricool for us. The client experience is night-and-day better, and running operations for my 30+ editors and designers is finally easy - every project, approval and handoff in one place instead of scattered across tools.
A game-changer for video production management. My favorite part is the KPIs and editor tracking - it's great to see performance at a high level when managing the team. The small touches matter too: when a brand looks at their own portfolio they see all their social links and creative briefs held inside the platform. Parent task organization is hugely beneficial for our workflow. Timeliner helped us organize better, set KPIs, and track editor performance - we're meeting deadlines now, and the Slack integration improved our client communication.
Replaced ClickUp, Frame, and Google Sheets. We used to lose track of which client owed what, which editor was free, and where the latest version lived. Now my 8 editors and I run everything from one dashboard. Last month we onboarded 3 new clients without hiring.
The variants feature lets us produce 4 short-form cuts plus a main video and thumbnail from one raw shoot inside a single parent task, instead of fragmenting across Frame.io and ClickUp. And WhatsApp approvals means collaborators don't have to log in. For our brand content workflow, that alone cut approval cycle time meaningfully.
Timeliner replaced the mess of Drive, WhatsApp and spreadsheets. Now my editors know exactly what to work on, clients approve in one click, and I can finally see what every project is actually costing me.
Approvals are sent through WhatsApp and it's so easy to handle. Clients get their videos at the right time without needing any interaction from me. I'm just left with approving the video.
Cut our revision rounds in half. Clients used to send feedback over WhatsApp voice notes. Now they click on the exact frame and type. We went from 5 revision rounds to 2 on average.
ClickUp felt too complicated for what we needed, and Trello didn't seem designed with video projects in mind. As my video agency started to grow, Timeliner was the better way to manage projects between my internal team and our clients.
It really speeds up my workflow and gives me an overview of everything in the business. They're still small, so you can request what you want and within a few weeks they've built it. I'm moving all my systems over - the first time I can truly see myself scaling.

“We tried to build this in ClickUp + Frame.io + Metricool. It got messy.”
Clients didn’t like the patched-together flow, and ops was a mess. Timeliner replaced all three - one place for every project, approval and handoff - and the client experience is night-and-day better. Running my 30+ editors and designers is finally easy.
