Plugin for Adobe After Effects Get animations approved without leaving Adobe After Effects

Feedback on an animation lands at the right moment in the video instead of in long emails full of timecodes. In the panel in Adobe After Effects you see the tasks of the client project and send the current state for approval right from the composition. Your client comments in FeatValue at the exact moment and accepts the task.

Adobe After Effects: your workspace, with tasks and feedback in a panel

Task list

See what is next, right next to your composition

Choose client and project, and the plugin remembers your choice. Below you see the open tasks, most recently changed first, with search. Tasks that belong to the active composition are at the top. When you switch compositions, the plugin follows. If a project or task is missing, you create it right in the plugin.

Brief and feedback

Brief, attachments and client comments right where you work

Inside a task you see the description, attachments such as the storyboard or shot list as thumbnails, and all of your client’s comments. You ask questions right in the plugin, and the current frame from Adobe After Effects is attached by default. You change the status just like in FeatValue, for example to In progress.

Approval

Send the current state for approval with one click

The plugin uses the After Effects render queue to render the frame at the current time of the active composition or the work area as a video, and attaches the result to the task. After Effects is busy while it renders. Large videos are uploaded in parts. The task moves to review, and an acceptance note tells your client what to look at. The plugin remembers on your computer which task belongs to which composition.

Video review

💎

Your client comments at the exact moment and accepts

Your client opens the video in the client portal, pauses at the right moment and writes a comment with a timestamp, optionally with a drawing on the still frame. No Adobe account is needed. You upload new versions of a video in FeatValue and compare them side by side, and comments stay with their version. While the task is in review, your client accepts it with one click and approves the latest version at the same time. Learn more in the documentation on file comments and under review and acceptance.

Frame, video or both

Decide what your client gets

In the settings you choose what the plugin sends: the current frame, the work area as a video, or both. For a question about a detail the still frame is enough, for acceptance you send the whole animation.
