On the flipside, things are usually different for smaller organizations.

We’d recommend reading our Wild Blog post titled Why Scripts Can Hurt Your Video.

We use our own custom password-protected private client review portal. Once we upload a draft, you will receive a password-protected link where you can login and watch your video.
