# Dusken — Complete Product Knowledge Base & System Documentation > Dusken is a flat-rate video and image review platform built for creative teams, agencies, editors, and creators. You upload media, send a single link, and collect frame-accurate feedback via text, canvas annotations, voice notes (Push-to-Talk), video replies, or screen recordings. Pricing is flat rate for internal seats; reviewers, clients, and external stakeholders are unlimited and 100% free forever without requiring an account. --- ## 1. Core Architecture & Philosophy Dusken replaces scattered, chaotic review loops where feedback is fragmented across email threads, Slack messages, and outdated docs. - **Single Source of Truth**: One link per asset. Clients pin frame-accurate feedback directly on the media player. - **Zero Friction for Clients**: Reviewers and stakeholders never log in, create accounts, or download software. They open the link and start commenting immediately. - **Flat-Rate Predictability**: Unlike Frame.io or Filestage where every client or seat increases the subscription cost, Dusken charges a flat monthly/yearly rate for your team. - **Version Control & Approval Lock**: Approved versions are locked with an immutable audit trail. - **Native NLE Marker Export**: Review markers export directly to Premiere Pro (XML), DaVinci Resolve (EDL), and Final Cut Pro without plugins. --- ## 2. Core Capabilities & Feature Specifications - **Push-to-Talk Voice Feedback**: Hold ⌃ + ⌥ (Ctrl + Alt on Windows) anywhere on the player, speak feedback while drawing on the frame, and release to instantly transcribe and post. - **Natural Spoken Timecode Ranges**: Speak instructions like "cut from 0:09 to 0:18" or "remove from 0:23 to 0:27"; Dusken speech engine automatically detects boundaries and generates interactive timeline range chips. - **Hands-Free Voice Tagging**: Speak "tag as Color Grade" or "flag as bug" while recording to apply workspace labels automatically. - **AI Speech Transcription & Translation**: All voice notes and video replies are transcribed to text, fully searchable, and translatable into multiple languages with 0ms database retrieval. - **5 Version Comparison Modes**: Split-Screen, Wipe Slider, Overlay with Opacity, A/B Toggle, and Pixel Difference Matte with synchronized playback. - **NLE Marker Export**: - DaVinci Resolve: Frame-accurate CMX3600 EDL sequence markers. - Premiere Pro: Sequence markers via Final Cut Pro XML (XMEML). - Final Cut Pro: Sequence markers via FCPXML. - Universal CSV: Standard tabular comment export. - **Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server**: Exposes video review data to AI assistants (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf) to automate edit lists and cut revisions. - **Supported Formats**: MP4, MOV, WebM, PNG, JPG, WebP. (Audio & PDF review roadmap planned). --- ## 3. Pricing Plans & Commercial Terms Flat rate based on internal seats.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) **Q: Do my clients need to create an account?** A: No. You send a link. They click it. They're in. No signup, no app download, no "which password did I use?" moment. **Q: Wait, reviewers are really free?** A: Yes. Always. Every plan. Invite 5 clients or 500, your bill stays the same. We charge for your internal team, not the people you're trying to get feedback from. **Q: How does Dusken compare to Frame.io or Filestage?** A: Frame.io and Filestage charge per seat. Every client you invite raises your bill. Dusken charges for your team only; reviewers are unlimited and free. We also include version compare, voice-comment transcription, and one-link client access on every plan, including Screen. **Q: What file types do you support?** A: Video and image. We handle the common formats (MP4, MOV, WebM, PNG, JPG, WebP, and more). Audio and PDF support are on the roadmap. Tell us if they're a dealbreaker. **Q: Can I cancel or get a refund?** A: Yes to both. Cancel any time from your settings: no calls, no forms, one click. If you cancel within 30 days of your first charge, contact our support team for a full refund. No questions asked. **Q: What happens after the 14-day trial?** A: You choose. We don't take a card up front, so nothing charges automatically. When your 14 days are up, pick a plan to keep going, or walk away and owe nothing. **Q: How does Dusken actually work?** A: Upload your videos and images into a Folder. Send the link to your client. They leave comments pinned to the exact frame, by text, drawing, or voice. You make the changes, upload the new version, and approve the final one to lock it in. **Q: How do reviewers leave feedback?** A: Five ways, all pinned to the exact frame: type a comment, draw on the frame, record a voice comment, record a video reply, or share a screen recording. Whatever's fastest for them in the moment. **Q: Can I search through voice and video feedback?** A: Yes. Every voice and video comment is auto-transcribed, so you can search the words and jump straight to the frame they're talking about. No scrubbing a nine-minute voice memo to find the one comment that mattered. **Q: What happens when a version is approved?** A: Approving locks a version as the final one. One action, and everyone knows that's the one. No more 'is this the latest?' threads or three files named final_v2_REAL.mp4. **Q: Can I get the comments into Premiere or DaVinci Resolve?** A: Yes. Export every comment as timeline markers and drop them straight into Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro. Dusken writes industry-standard EDL and XML, frame-accurate at your sequence's frame rate. Or export to CSV. No retyping timecodes off a review link. **Q: Can I compare two versions of a video?** A: Yes. Stack two versions and scrub them together to spot exactly what changed. Five ways to look: Split, Wipe, Overlay, A/B, and Pixel Diff. No more flipping between tabs. **Q: Do I need to install an app?** A: No. Dusken runs in the browser on any device. You upload and review from your laptop; clients open the link on whatever they've got. Nothing to download, nothing to update. **Q: Where is my data stored? Is it secure?** A: All assets are stored encrypted at rest on AWS infrastructure in the EU. TLS in transit. Share links are unguessable tokens you can revoke any time. Full GDPR data export and deletion on request through our contact page. **Q: You're in early access. What if it's too rough?** A: We ship fixes fast and you'll watch it improve week by week. But if it's not working for you, contact our support team within 30 days of your first charge. No questions asked. Full refund, no hoops. **Q: What happens when early access ends?** A: Nothing changes for yearly subscribers. Your rate is locked in forever, even as we raise prices for new sign-ups. Monthly subscribers get 60 days' notice before any pricing changes. Reviewers stay free across every plan, permanently. **Q: What's a Folder?** A: A Folder is a project space. Throw your videos and images in, invite your client, and collect feedback. Think of it as a shared room where everyone can see the work and talk about it. **Q: What does the Master plan cost?** A: Master pricing depends on storage, seats, and SSO/analytics needs. Most studios land between $400–$900/mo. Contact our team with rough team size and we'll send a custom quote within a day. **Q: What happens if I go over my storage?** A: We'll email you when you hit 80% and again at 100%. Nothing breaks. You keep uploading and reviewing. You'll have 30 days to upgrade, clear old assets, or move to a higher plan. No surprise charges. **Q: How is Dusken different from other review tools?** A: Most review tools charge per seat, including every client who watches a video. That model punishes you for having clients. We flipped it: your team pays, your clients don't. Simple. --- ## 7.
