THE PROBLEM

The client asks: "What changed between v2 and v3?" Reasonable question. You made 15 changes across a 4-minute edit, swapped two interview bites, reordered a B-roll sequence, trimmed the intro by 8 seconds, adjusted music timing in three places, added a lower third, replaced a transition, color-corrected two shots, and fixed an audio dip. You know what you did, but documenting it for someone who wasn't in the edit bay takes almost as long as making the changes did.

Without revision notes, the client has to watch both versions side by side and try to spot the differences. That leads to review sessions full of "wait, was this different before?" and comments on things that didn't actually change. It wastes their time and yours.

Most editors skip detailed revision notes because the documentation overhead isn't worth it. But every time you skip them, the review cycle gets longer and messier than it needs to be.

HOW YOU SOLVE IT WITH WIDEFRAME

01

Load both versions of the edit

Point Wideframe at the previous version and the current version of your project. It compares the two timelines to detect what changed.

02

Get an automatic changelog

Wideframe generates a list of every change between versions: clip swaps, reorders, timing adjustments, added or removed elements, and audio changes, each with timecodes and descriptions.

03

Add context to key changes

Annotate the most important changes with your reasoning, such as why you swapped that interview bite, why the intro was trimmed. This turns a change log into a revision narrative the client can follow.

04

Share revision notes with your client

Send the annotated revision notes alongside the new cut. The client knows exactly what to look for and why, which means faster approvals and fewer unnecessary comments.
