KrockIO

Provides a unified repository for storing, organizing, and retrieving video assets, footage, and project files with hierarchical folder structures and custom metadata tagging. Assets are indexed by searchable attributes (resolution, duration, codec, creation date, custom tags) enabling rapid discovery across large production libraries. The system maintains version history and asset relationships, allowing teams to track which assets are used in which projects without manual cross-referencing.

Enables distributed team members to view video timelines, scrub through footage, and leave frame-accurate comments and annotations without requiring all parties to have the same editing software installed. Comments are anchored to specific timecodes and can include text, emoji reactions, and file attachments. The system uses WebSocket-based real-time synchronization to push comment updates to all viewers instantly, with conflict resolution for simultaneous edits.

Provides a structured interface for creating and organizing shot lists with visual storyboard layouts, allowing production teams to plan shots before filming and track completion status during production. Each shot can include metadata (shot type, duration estimate, location, talent, equipment needed), reference images, and production notes. The system generates visual storyboards from shot list data and allows drag-and-drop reordering to experiment with sequence changes.

Implements granular permission management at the project level, allowing producers to assign roles (viewer, commenter, editor, admin) to team members with specific capabilities tied to each role. Permissions control who can view assets, edit timelines, approve changes, and manage project settings. The system maintains an audit log of all permission changes and file access, enabling accountability for sensitive client work.

Provides a project-level timeline view showing key milestones (shoot date, rough cut due, color lock, final delivery) with deadline tracking and team notifications. The system calculates critical path dependencies (e.g., color correction can't start until rough cut is locked) and alerts team members when deadlines approach or slip. Integrates with team calendars to show when key personnel are unavailable.

Offers a free tier allowing small teams to use core features (asset storage, basic collaboration, shot lists) with constraints on project count (typically 2-3 active projects), team size (5-10 users), and storage (50-100 GB). Paid tiers remove these constraints and add advanced features (extended audit logs, priority support, integrations). The freemium model uses feature gating at the application level, with tier checks before allowing project creation or user invitations.

Provides basic integrations with popular tools (Slack for notifications, Google Drive for asset backup) but lacks native plugins or APIs for deep integration with professional editing software (Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro). The system can export project data (shot lists, feedback) as files but cannot directly read or modify timelines in external editing software. Integration points are limited to webhook-based notifications and file export/import.
