ACROSS THE ROW / COLLABORATION
One row, everyone on it.
The editor, the shooter, whoever is managing the deal — and the client — meet the same seven stages.
A field crew and a studio meeting on the same seven-stage project
THE ROLE
Nobody rebuilds the process to join it. The team walks the row that already exists, and the client marks the work at stage six, inside it.
WHAT IT DOES
How it works.
SHARE
One project holds all seven stages.
A new editor opens the row instead of asking where things are. Presence and live cursors put the team on the same wall, so the pin-up is a decision rather than a forty-screenshot group chat.
Workspaces, roles, presence, project channels.REVIEW
The client marks the work without an account.
A guest link into Assets carries pins, drawn regions, replies, and resolution. They review inside the pipeline at stage six, not in an email after the job has shipped.
Guest review at Assets. No new login.SYNC
Local first, connected by choice.
Etch is a desktop studio and the project records stay on the machine. Team sync adds workspaces, invitations, media sync, and lineage when more than one person is on the row.
macOS today; sync is optional, not required.
