How it works

Brief, cut, review, release.

Every order on the platform follows the same loop. The client's money is held before work starts and released when the work is approved, so neither side has to trust the other first.

If you are hiring

Five steps from idea to a cut you approved.

Fund escrow. Work starts.

You are charged the agreed price plus a 5% service fee. The price is held — not paid — and the editor can see it is held, which is why nobody asks for a deposit.

Client · per version

Review on the frame.

Each version opens in the review room. Click the moment, type the note. The editor gets a list of timecodes instead of a paragraph to decode.

Order statuses

Eight states, and who each one is waiting on.

The status is the same on both sides of the order, so there is never a question about whose move it is. Counts are live.

Safeguards

What keeps both sides honest.

Order records stay together

Escrow before work

No editor starts on an unfunded order, and no client pays for work they have not seen.

5-day auto-release

A delivery that gets no answer releases automatically. Silence is not a payment term.

Disputes freeze the money

Either side can raise a dispute before release. Funds stay put until a reviewer rules: release, refund or split.

Records that follow you

Agree the turnaround before hiring. Each order records its delivery deadline, submitted files and review history.

Run one order and you will know how the rest go.

Post a brief for free and see real applicants by tomorrow, or set up a profile and apply to briefs that are already budgeted.
