Frame.io alternatives · October 2026
Frame.io alternatives, by why you're leaving.
There's no single best one. Pick by the reason you're looking, with each tool's facts from its own pages.
In short
- Paying per member: look at tools priced per team or per admin, such as Kollaborate, Filestage, Ziflow and post-prod.io.
- The Premiere panel isn't working for you, or you cut in Resolve or Final Cut: look at tools that put notes on your timeline as markers.
- Clients describe changes you then have to guess at: look for reviewers who can suggest the edit itself.
- You need Camera to Cloud or certified enterprise security: Frame.io may still be the right tool.

Leaving is easier
than it sounds.
Premiere Pro
Notes still land in Premiere.
Our panel puts every note on your open sequence as a marker in one click, on Premiere Pro 2020 and later. Resolve, Final Cut Pro and Avid get markers too.

2The Premiere panel isn't working for you

- KollaborateComments export to Premiere (a marker import tool and an Adobe panel), Final Cut Pro X and 7, Avid and DaVinci Resolve. source
3You cut in DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut
Some tools have a panel or plugin for your editing app; others hand you a marker file to import. Either puts the notes on the timeline at their frame.
- post-prod.ioMarkers for DaVinci Resolve (EDL), Final Cut Pro (FCPXML), Premiere Pro (XML) and Avid, coloured by kind.For Resolve
- Krock.ioPlugins for DaVinci Resolve Studio, Adobe Creative Cloud and Final Cut Pro: sync playhead, import markers and comments, remove markers. source
- Dropbox ReplayPremiere Pro, After Effects, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Avid Pro Tools. source
- MediaSiloPremiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Dropbox, Google Drive, Vimeo and Zapier. source
4Clients describe changes instead of showing them
“Make it tighter” is a guess for the editor. A reviewer who can show the change saves the round where you find out what they meant.
- post-prod.ioReviewers suggest the edit itself, a cut, zoom, blur, shot swap, speed, audio, text or colour change, and everyone plays it on the cut before anyone touches the timeline.Suggested edits
5You need enterprise security or Camera to Cloud
If clients ask for certifications or you shoot to the cloud, stay with a tool that states them.
- Frame.ioStates TPN Gold Shield, SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certification. SSO on Enterprise. source
- MediaSiloLists SOC 2 Type 2 on its security page. source
- ZiflowStates regular third-party SOC 2 audits and ISO 27001 certification. SSO (SAML 2.0), IP allowlisting and MFA for guest reviewers on Enterprise. source

Questions
What is the best Frame.io alternative?
It depends on why you're leaving. For seat prices, look at tools priced per team or per admin.

Yes. post-prod.io exports review notes as an EDL that Resolve imports as timeline markers. Krock.io lists a Resolve Studio plugin, and Dropbox Replay, Kollaborate and MediaSilo list Resolve among their integrations.
Can I move my Frame.io projects and comments?
Drag your folders in (files named _v1, _v2 stack as versions), then export comments from Frame.io as a CSV and use Import notes from Frame.io on the file. The switch guide walks through it.
