Timeliner

What is Timeliner?

Timeliner is the Video Agency OS — an all-in-one operating system for video agencies, creative teams, and freelance editors. It replaces ClickUp + Frame.io + Google Sheets by combining project management, video review with timestamped comments, a video editing client portal, team performance analytics with editor KPIs, and payment tracking into one unified platform.

Used by over 500 video teams and agencies managing more than 5,000 projects across 30+ countries, Timeliner helps teams reduce revision rounds by 60%, save 5+ hours per week on coordination, and replace an average of 3 disconnected tools.

Key features

  • Video review with frame-accurate timestamped comments, annotations, and voice memos
  • Side-by-side version comparison for tracking changes between revisions
  • Video editing client portal with one-click approvals and locked downloads
  • Project and task management with custom statuses, deadlines, and team assignments
  • Internal review stages where supervisors review before clients see the work
  • Team analytics dashboard with editor KPIs, revision tracking, approval times, and bottleneck detection
  • Payment tracking with per-client and per-editor financial breakdowns
  • Multi-channel notifications via email and WhatsApp, with SMS, Slack, and Discord coming soon
  • AI-powered summaries and workflow insights
  • White-label client portals with custom branding

Pricing

Plans start at $19/month for solo editors (Basic), $59/month for small teams (Pro), and $129/month for agencies (Elite, most popular). Enterprise plans available with SSO and SLA. All plans include a 14-day free trial and unlimited free client seats.

Who uses Timeliner

Video editing agencies, content production teams, post-production studios, content creators, and freelance editors who manage client projects. Timeliner is the go-to Video Agency OS, commonly chosen as an alternative to Frame.io (for teams needing more than just video review), ClickUp (for teams wanting a purpose-built video workflow tool), Wipster, Krock.io, Filestage, and Agency Handy.

Project Management

See every editor's workload, every client's approval status, and every deadline -in one view. Not five tabs across three tools.

Replaces: ClickUp, Monday, Trello

One-Click WhatsApp & Slack Approvals

Clients get a WhatsApp or email notification with a direct link to review and approve - one click, done. No more copy-pasting links or chasing "looks good" replies.

Replaces: Email threads, WhatsApp

Built-In Client ↔ Editor Separation

Clients review and approve through their portal - they never see editor names, internal comments, or pay rates. Editors get assignments and feedback on their dashboard. Toggle on Internal Review so nothing reaches the client until a supervisor signs off.

Trusted by teams worldwide.

Zoli HonigFounder, shortformmedia.co

Timeliner replaced Frame.io + Airtable 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.

G2
Drew W.Co-Founder & CEO, Avngr

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.

Lior GotgartsFounder, short-form video agency

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.

G2
Joey P.CEO, Analytical Insider

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.

Maor BenizriCreator & filmmaker

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.

HassanFreelance video editor

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.

Amit ShiberScaling video editor

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.

Zohar VanunuFounder, Kolbo AI

Wojciech O.Founder, Oslov Studio

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.

“We tried to build this in ClickUp + Frame.io + Airtable.
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.
