# Seamlift > Video review and publishing platform for YouTube creators and their edit teams. Seamlift is where YouTube creators and their editors review cuts, drop timestamped notes, and publish the approved version straight to YouTube. The back-and-forth, minus the back-and-forth. - URL: https://www.seamlift.com - Login / Sign up: https://www.seamlift.com/login - Pricing: https://www.seamlift.com/pricing - Privacy Policy: https://www.seamlift.com/privacy - Terms of Service: https://www.seamlift.com/terms-of-service - Refund Policy: https://www.seamlift.com/refund --- ## What Seamlift Does Seamlift replaces the endless email / DM / Google Drive loop between YouTube creators and editors. It covers everything between "export" and "publish": 1. **Upload the cut** — drag the exported video file in. Editors, clients, and the whole team get a watch link. No account or app install needed just to watch. 2. **Notes land on frames** — everyone comments directly on the video timeline. "At 4:12" means the player jumps to 4:12, not three paragraphs into an email thread. 3. **Publish to YouTube** — once a version is approved, the final file with its title, description, and thumbnail is pushed to the channel with one click. No re-upload. --- ## Core Features ### Frame-Accurate Timestamped Comments Every note is pinned to a specific timecode. Click a comment and the player jumps there instantly. Editors stop guessing which "that part" you meant. ### Visual Annotations — Draw Directly on the Frame Creators and reviewers can draw, circle, highlight, or arrow directly onto any video frame. Annotations are locked to the exact timecode so the editor sees exactly what area you mean — no more "the thing in the top-left corner" descriptions. Supports freehand draw, shapes, and color selection. ### Google Drive Integration Connect Google Drive once and import video files directly into Seamlift projects. Editors can export new cuts straight to a linked Drive folder, and Seamlift auto-syncs the latest version into the review project — no manual re-uploading. ### Version Stacking Every cut from v1 to final lives in a single project thread. Compare versions side by side. No more hunting through a Drive folder named `FINAL_final_2`. ### Client-Safe Share Links Send one link to sponsors, clients, or anyone who needs to review. No login required, no app to install. They can comment from a phone browser. Links are unlisted, expiring, and optionally password-locked. ### Publish Straight to YouTube Connect your YouTube channel once via standard OAuth (Seamlift never sees your password). When a version is approved, push the final file with title, description, and thumbnail to your channel. The video can land as private, scheduled, or public — your choice. ### Built for Speed J-K-L scrubbing, frame-by-frame stepping, C to drop a comment. Review a 20-minute cut without touching a mouse. --- ## How It Works (3 Steps) 1. **Upload the cut** — Drag your export in. Your editor, client, or whole bench gets a link — no accounts needed to watch. 2. **Notes land on frames** — Everyone comments right on the timeline. "At 4:12" means at 4:12 — not three paragraphs into an email. 3. **Publish to YouTube** — Final version approved? Title, thumbnail, description are already staged. One click and it's live. --- ## Pricing All plans include the full product. You only choose how many active projects and how much storage you need. No credit card required to start.

To just watch a cut, no account, no app, just the link. **How does publishing to YouTube actually work?** Connect your channel once via standard YouTube OAuth. When a version is approved, Seamlift pushes the final file with the title, description, and thumbnail you staged. It lands as private, scheduled, or public — your call. **What about storage limits?** Seamlift stores your review cuts, not your raw footage library. Free gets 10 GB, Creator 200 GB, Studio 1 TB, Agency 10 TB. Old versions auto-archive but are never deleted. **Is my unreleased video actually private?** Share links are unlisted, expiring, and optionally password-locked. Files are encrypted at rest. Nobody — including Seamlift staff — watches your cuts. **Can I cancel and take my stuff?** Always. Export every cut, comment thread, and version history in one zip. Cancel in two clicks, no chat with a retention bot. **Does Seamlift connect to Google Drive?** Yes. Connect your Google Drive and import files directly into any Seamlift project. Editors can drop exports into a linked Drive folder and Seamlift picks them up automatically as new versions. **Can I draw or annotate on the video?** Yes. Use the annotation tool to draw, circle, highlight, or add arrows directly onto any frame. Annotations are pinned to the exact timecode so your editor sees exactly which area you mean. --- ## Extended Documentation For a full feature walkthrough, integration details, and use-case guides, see: https://www.seamlift.com/llms-full.txt
