What Kollaborate is

Kollaborate is a cloud collaboration and workflow platform for creative professionals. Teams can share any type of file, collect feedback tied to timecodes, and review video using actual file timecode, variable-speed playback, and heatmaps. Approval chains can require multiple approvers, while comments can become tasks. Automated workflows can move files, email review links, or change metadata after events. Reviewers may join as guests with custom roles, and teams can compare versions. Comment import and export connects with Adobe Premiere, Avid, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro X, and Final Cut Pro 7. The service runs on the web, Windows, macOS, and iOS. Connections and stored files are described as encrypted, and multi-factor authentication is available. Shared links can be configured to expire without limits on recipients or link count. Kollaborate starts from $7/mo and has no free plan. Kollaborate Server supports self-hosting on customer servers and storage.
