What a client portal actually does

A client portal for video production replaces the patchwork of tools studios usually cobble together: a video review service, a file delivery tool, an invoicing app, a contract platform, and a folder system. Instead of sending the client to five different links, you give them one link to a branded workspace.

Inside the portal, the client watches the latest cut, leaves timestamped comments, approves the version when it's ready, sees the quote and invoice for the work, and downloads the final files. Everything for one engagement lives in one place, branded as your studio, and stays accessible as long as the project does.

Buyer's checklist

Eight things to check before you pick one

Generic client portals fail at video. Generic video tools fail at the rest. The combinations worth your money handle all eight of these.

  • 01

    Timestamped video review built in

    Clients leave comments anchored to the exact frame, not "around 0:42" in an email.

  • 02

    Clients can comment without creating an account

    Reviewers leave their name and email on the first comment. No signup friction.

  • 03

    The portal shows your brand, not the platform

    Logo, colour, studio name on every client portal. Pro removes the platform badge entirely.

  • 04

    Custom domain for established studios

    Connect portal.yourstudio.com so clients only ever see your URL.

  • 05

    Quotes and invoices in the same workspace

    Financial documents live next to the work, not in a separate tool.

  • 06

    Final deliverable download from the same portal

    No expiring WeTransfer links, no Dropbox folder permissions. The work lives where the review happened.

  • 07

    Asset libraries for brand kits and templates

    Tenant-wide library for your studio files, per-client library for their brand kits and reference material.

  • 08

    Role-based access for team and clients

    Different people see different things. Producers, editors, freelancers, client managers, client users: each scoped correctly.

MyStdio answers yes to all eight.

Why generic tools fall short for video

Most studios end up running three of these in parallel. A purpose-built video client portal replaces the trio.

Generic client portals

HoneyBook, Dubsado, ClickUp

Built for service businesses sending PDFs and signing contracts. No video review, no large-file delivery, no concept of cut versions. Fine for booking and paperwork, useless for the actual creative deliverable.

Video review tools

Frame.io, Wipster, Filestage

Excellent at the feedback workflow. Not portals: no invoicing, no quotes, no per-client branding, no asset library, no place for the client to see anything beyond the cut you sent them. The client experience starts and ends with one video.

File-sharing services

Dropbox, Google Drive, WeTransfer

Folder with files. No video review, no client experience, no branding, no organisation by project. Easy to send, painful for the client to use, and they expire or get deleted right when the client needs them again.

How MyStdio checks every box

Timestamped video review built in

Reviewers leave comments anchored to the exact frame. No accounts required. Version history keeps every cut linked.

Your brand on every client portal

Logo, brand colour, and studio name show on every client's portal. Free includes full branding. Pro removes the platform badge entirely.

Custom domain on Pro

Connect portal.yourstudio.com to keep your clients inside your own URL. Free runs on yourstudio.mystdio.com with your brand.

Quotes and invoices alongside the work

Financial documents live next to the project that ordered them. Clients never have to look up their invoice in a separate tool.

File delivery built into the same portal

Final deliverables download from the same place the client reviewed them. No expiring WeTransfer links, no Dropbox folder permissions.

Asset libraries for studio and per-client

My Assets stores studio-wide files. Client Assets stores per-company brand kits and references. Replaces the Dropbox folders you used for the boring stuff.

Pricing for video studios

Free supports up to 20 clients, 10 team members, unlimited projects, full branding, and 5GB of storage. Pro is $25 per month flat with unlimited clients, 1TB of storage, and a custom domain. No per-seat fees regardless of team size.

Common Questions

A client portal for video production is a branded workspace where your clients log in to review video cuts, leave feedback, approve final versions, and download deliverables. Unlike a generic file-sharing tool, a video production client portal has timestamped video review built in, organises files by project, and lets the agency or studio present everything under their own brand instead of the platform's.
A video review tool like Frame.io is focused on the feedback workflow: clients watch a cut and leave timestamped comments. A client portal is broader. It's the workspace clients log into to see every aspect of the engagement: video review, deliverables, quotes, invoices, brand assets, and project status. MyStdio is the all-in-one client portal that includes the video review layer Frame.io specialises in.
Generic client portals like HoneyBook and Dubsado are built for service businesses sending PDFs and signing contracts. They don't handle video at all. A video studio needs timestamped review, multi-version cut tracking, large-file delivery, and a way to present the actual deliverable, not just the paperwork around it. That's why video-specific portals exist.
No. One portal handles every client. Each client logs in and sees only their own projects, files, and invoices. They never see your other clients. MyStdio scopes access per client company automatically, so you set it up once and every new client fits in.
Yes. Permission scoping is automatic. Client managers and client users only see the projects under their company, not your full studio. Your internal team has wider access based on role: producers see everything, editors see assigned projects, freelancers see only the projects you scope them to.
It's strongly recommended for established studios but not required to start. MyStdio Free runs at yourstudio.mystdio.com with your branding throughout. Pro adds a custom domain like portal.yourstudio.com, so clients see your URL in the address bar. Most studios upgrade to Pro for the custom domain once they start landing bigger contracts.
File-sharing services like Dropbox, Google Drive, and WeTransfer give clients a folder full of files. A client portal for video production presents the work: organised by project, with video review built in, branded as your studio, with persistent access. The file-sharing approach treats the deliverable as a download; a client portal treats it as a presentation.
