Clients can now provide feedback via drawing on the video directly. So hopefully we start seeing some comments come through with some drawings to help improve the feedback quality soon.
Alongside the drawing feature, we have added some little avatar icons to match with every comment. This way it's easy to recognise where in the video a comment has been left and by who.
You can check these out here if you havent already seen the video popup: https://clienthub.visualdomain.com.au/video/ab92d921-107f-47f9-959a-915cf9491000/info
Long overdue, clients can now search their Project Deliveries(the videos) So if they have a project with 50 videos, they can actually search for the one they are after now rather than browsing painfully.
A variety of backend changes have been performed to allow us to support Internal Changes. We will continue to focus on this to get it out asap
Apple devices should now be properly displaying the Client Hub and Video Pages. @Dave Mallen let me know if this doesn't seem to be the case.
Various updates have been done to better allow us to claim credits as revenue
Chat has been removed from Client Hub and disabled for use in VMS, you may have noticed its currently in read-only mode in VMS.
General UX improvements to the new video page (EG: sticky approve button)
Demo Videos:
Client Hub Video Player.mp4Auto-Select Disbursements.mp4Released an upgraded to our Video Review & Approval platform to now be inside the Client Hub! Take a look! https://clienthub.visualdomain.com.au/video/e9afcfc5-e525-4205-825d-7154f5e5c459/info?token=58122e While this will mostly impact our clients, seeing our wonderful videos on a page that looks like this, is good for us all! This means:
All videos delivered to our clients will be using this new page
Everyone, regardless of if they are logged into the Client Hub or not will still be able to see the video and leave feedback. They just wont be able to Approve it, or send it back for changes. Producers, make sure your project owners login to do that!
How we all receive changes as it currently stands has not changed, or at least thats the current intention. This however is going to grow quickly, with features like on-video drawing very close to being finished.
So while this continues to grow, we should hopefully start to see the quality of feedback/comments from clients improve to. Win for us all.
Clients will be prompted with a video demo upon accessing the Client Hub, but overall the experience is very similar just more modern and improved. So while there can always be some teething, we expect clients to adapt pretty easily. We also have a 1 pager you can share if needed with a little details + a video demo. Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13Rc7lGwAI4vU4E1aGLUR6dP5NOjVBye7/view?usp=sharing To go alongside this release we also included:
Added new states TASSIE, NT, and International
Further custom client branding updates, including throughout the Client Hub.
Disbursements will now be auto-selected when creating projects, based on the chosen Product Type. The idea is that with the system adding them for you, they can't be forgotten! If it's determined you don't need the disbursement for that particular project, simply remove or modify it.
Added a button to the Video Jobs to approve videos inside the VMS
