The Frame.io alternative with signed approval.
Notes on the frame, a signature on the approval, and every clip checked for picture and sound. All in the same project as the schedule, the crew and the invoice.
Approved.And signed.
The client types their full name and agrees to one line. ABRAM keeps who signed, when, and the fingerprint of the exact file they approved.
It's really them.
Their email is confirmed by their portal link, or by a 6-digit code before they sign.
The file can't change underneath.
If the cut changes after they open it, the signature won't land on it.
Every clip,checked as it lands.
ABRAM Vision looks for soft focus, noise, shake, flicker, missing frames and clipped highlights, and for sound that clips or drops out.
