Frame.io has unveiled a significant upgrade to Version 4, introducing expanded storage that scales with team size, along with powerful new features like transcription tools and text markup capabilities designed to streamline the entire creative workflow from concept to delivery. The update represents a strategic shift toward making Frame.io a comprehensive platform for all production assets—not just final media.

Director's Cut on Storage: Frame.io eliminates the digital juggling act for production teams

The most immediate change addresses a longstanding frustration among creative teams—limited storage forcing workflows across multiple platforms. Frame.io's expanded storage now grows automatically as teams expand.

• Pro plans now include 2TB for the first user plus 2TB for each additional team member

• Team plans start with 3TB for the first user plus 2TB for each additional user

• Enterprise plans offer customizable storage solutions

• All storage is pooled across accounts and adjusts automatically as team size changes

• The expanded storage comes at no additional cost to existing Version 4 customers

From Script to Screen: New collaboration tools bridge the gap between pre-production and post-production workflows

Frame.io is extending its collaborative capabilities beyond video review to encompass more stages of the production process, creating a more cohesive ecosystem for creative teams.

• Transcription tools (in beta) automatically generate searchable transcripts of video and audio assets

• Users can search for specific dialogue and click any word to jump to that exact moment in the timeline

• Text markup tools allow teams to collaborate on scripts, treatments, and written documents directly in Frame.io

• Four powerful markup options include highlighting, inserting, deleting, and replacing text

• Support for 18 languages in transcription and automated closed captioning features

• Bulk processing allows teams to generate transcripts for multiple assets simultaneously

Securing the Set: Expanded protection features democratize enterprise-level safeguards for productions of all sizes

Security enhancements previously reserved for enterprise clients are now available across more plan types, addressing the growing concern around protecting work-in-progress content.

• Static watermarking has been extended to Pro and Team plans (previously Enterprise-only)

• Custom text watermarks can be applied to videos, images, and documents

• Restricted Folders (coming soon) will allow granular control over who sees specific content

• Access Groups (in beta for Enterprise) automate permissions management across multiple workspaces

• Frame.io for Apple TV is now available for all Version 4 users, enabling 4K HDR review sessions

• Admin-definable branding defaults ensure consistent presentation across all shared links

The Production Wrap: Frame.io's evolution signals the industry's move toward unified creative ecosystems

Frame.io's latest update reveals a significant industry trend toward consolidating creative workflows into single, specialized platforms. As post-production increasingly blends with pre-production and production phases, the lines between different stages of content creation continue to blur.

• These updates address the reality that modern production is rarely linear—teams often work concurrently across multiple stages

• By expanding beyond simple video review to encompass document markup and transcript searching, Frame.io positions itself as a central hub for the entire production lifecycle

• The security updates reflect growing concerns around intellectual property protection as remote collaboration becomes standard

• As storage limitations dissolve, expect more productions to standardize on platforms that can handle every file type from concept to delivery

• The evolution suggests more cloud-based tools will follow suit, creating increasingly specialized ecosystems rather than generic storage solutions

The updates are rolling out now, with some features available immediately and others coming in the following weeks. Production professionals attending NAB 2025 can see demonstrations at Frame.io's booth #SL2210 in the South Hall from April 6-9.
