FrameSketch launches local-first video annotation tool

Heavyweight enterprise shot-review platforms like Frame.io or SyncSketch are frequently clunky and pose NDA headaches for freelance animators who simply need quick, frame-accurate draw-overs on local cuts. The 100% client-side, local-first design removes video upload latencies, cloud hosting fees, and security concerns when handling unreleased studio footage. Dedicated animation workflows—notably onion skinning, frame-locking, and pen-pressure sensitivity—provide an intuitive digital lightbox experience that generic markup tools lack. Decoupling annotations into compact .fsk files allows collaborators with identical video files to exchange feedback payloads that weigh mere kilobytes. Without built-in multi-user real-time synchronous sessions or deep studio pipeline integrations, it targets independent creators and small review loops rather than sprawling VFX production pipelines.
