Once you've uploaded media to your Project Library, you are ready to start sharing with team members or outside reviewers!
Start Sharing
Or from the Media Library, you can click on the 'Share' icon at the bottom right of your asset and you will see three options for sharing.
Select Share Type
Once you click to share, you will choose between the 3 share types and then choose a delivery method.
Share for Review, Approval or Preview
(1) Share for Review - When you share for Review, the reviewer can leave comments to provide helpful feedback that will contribute to the creation of the next version of your project. After they are done commenting on the asset, they will click the ‘Finish review’ button and you will be notified via email.
(2) Share for Approval - When you share for Approval, you have the option to turn off commenting (or leave commenting on). The reviewer will open the asset and click the button to choose either ‘Approved’ or ‘Not Approved.’ You'll see this tally in the Info section on the project screen, as well as receive an email notification.
Share for Approval is optional – if you're not worried about getting approval or non-approval from your reviewers then you do not need to use this option.
(3) Share for Preview - This option will send out a clean view-only mode that has no comments attached. It is ideal for your clients who simply want to view the project as it stands, without all the comments.
In each method of sharing, you can also choose to password protect or allow downloads of the included media.
Now that you know the methods for different ways of sharing, choose your method of delivery between a private email or shared link.
Sharing Delivery Method
The notifications people receive will depend on which of these two methods you use.
1. Send a private email (this is the default method) - Simply select one or more contacts, or enter email addresses into the field, then hit ‘Send.’ Wipster will then email an invitation to the reviewer to open the asset for feedback or approval.
Sharing via email will send the following notifications to the reviewer:
An initial email inviting them to review the video or image
A notification whenever there is activity on the video or image, i.e. someone makes a comment
An hourly digest of activity on the video or image, provided there has been activity in that hour
You also have the option to send one or more reviewers a 'Nudge' notification to remind them to get in there and review
Here's a preview of the email reviewers will receive:
2. Create a shareable link - Go to the URL section then click the 'Create the link' button and your new shareable link will be created. You can then copy and paste this link anywhere.
Reviewers will be asked to enter their name so you know who is viewing the asset, and they are asked to provide their email address only if they want to receive notifications.
Here's what the reviewer sees when clicking the URL:
If your reviewer is receiving too many emails, they can open the settings for individual assets to toggle off notifications.
Note: If you already know the specific recipients who will need to review or approve an asset, you might choose to email it to them directly. If you are creating a link that may need to be forwarded or shared among multiple people, it's best to create a public URL.
Share Multiple Assets At Once
1. Go to the folder you want to share files from in the Media Library.
2. Select all the files you want to share by ticking the circle on the top-left of each thumbnail
3. The 'Share' button will show up to the right of the screen; click on the button...
... to bring up the share modal and share as per the above instructions.
Sharing multiple files will allow reviewers to view them all from a single link.
Sharing with Integrations
Share using the Adobe Wipster Review Panel
You don’t even need to open the Wipster Web App to share a video! You can export, upload, and share your video using the Wipster Review Panel in Adobe Premiere Pro or After Effects.
Simply download the Wipster Review Panel extension from the Adobe Exchange. After you install it, go into the Adobe App, then go to Window > Extensions > Wipster Review Panel. Within the Panel you can login and then share you current timeline or sequence with a reviewer.
Share via Slack Automated Messages
You can also integrate Wipster with your Slack workflow so your team is notified in a #channel (of your choice) when new content is uploaded, commented on, or approved in Wipster.
Simply go to the Integrations tab in your account settings and connect your Wipster account with your Slack account. Once connected, you can choose which notifications you want to turn on or off.
That covers all of the different ways that you can share with Wipster!
