Since the Frame IO v4 API only is available for enterprise customers, I am looking for an alternative. We are a small team, on a pretty tight budget. We don’t need a lot of fancy functions and features, just client review,comments and such. Anyone here got something they’re happy with?

[image] ALan: M&E what is the M&E market?

[image] allklier: I think you’re right, API v2 served both app version v2 & v3. Did you reach out and ask why the endpoints stopped working? The only reports out there of automation breaking is folks that somehow ended up on V4 and are told to go back to V3. v2 endpoints are still working AS …

Media and Entertainment – typically in the long form, episodic and commercial markets although those traditional lines are definitely blurring.

got it thanks. I am in the M&E market then, just heavily in the automation side. I’ve also create a free tools that move around large files in the cloud s3, google drive, and transcribe content, captions, cut/merge video/audio, etc. [image] GitHub - stephengpope/no-code-architects-t…

Won’t have time to check it out until after NAB. I assume you have to bring your own cloud infrastructure? Which cloud platforms does it work with? How does the pricing compare to FrameIO once you bring your own Cloud infrastructure, given that we don’t get the big discounts, but can use it metere…

This is going nowhere guys, but have fun. I’ll ignore this thread now.

@ALan bye @allklier you do need your own cloud server, or docker host. But it works on any of them, Digital Ocean is one of the easiest to setup. Then you only pay the raw costs of the services, for the server (can be the smallest one) it’s just a front end. And then you just pay for the space yo…

Yes, the key is a apples-apples comparison. If you have a busy month with big client uploads and large reviewer count, what does that raw cost amount to? You have to keep the instance up and scaled because you never know when someone is ready to look and leave notes. Sometimes you may come out ahe…

And @randy , I was just checking the API docs, and this toolkit has APIs to transcode videos and audio files, add captions, etc. It’s not a solution for replacing FrameIO unless you put some serious coding effort in, which may include these APIs but also a lot more. So it’s not a crypto scam or the…

[image] stephengpope: check this out here, would love your feedback Thanks Stephen. It looks like one would have to put in quite a bit of work to get a reasonable frontend for browsing projects and viewing / commenting on more than one clip in a session. one would also have to manage mul…
