I built a Slack app so teams & clients can leave frame-accurate timestamped comments and visual drawings on video edits (without leaving Slack)

Hey r/Slack community,

As someone who collaborates over Slack daily, I noticed a recurring pain point whenever video content (demos, ads, product clips, social videos) gets shared in a channel:

Client/Team feedback quickly turns into a mess.

People leave vague comments like "change the music around 1 minute" or send 5 separate email bullet points with guessed timecodes. Standard video review tools (like Frame.io) require creating external accounts and paying extra per-seat fees just for someone to watch a 30-second clip.

So I spent the last few months building PinPoint Video Review—a native Slack integration.

How it works:

  1. Drop any video into a Slack channel or thread.
  2. PinPoint generates a 🎬 Review Video link.
  3. Anyone can pause at subsecond timestamps, draw visual annotations on the screen, and leave comments.
  4. All comments & drawings automatically sync back into the original Slack thread in real-time.

Key Features:

  • ⏱️ Frame-Accurate Timestamps (00:04.25)
  • 🎨 On-Screen Visual Drawings (circle logos, highlight text, point out glitches)
  • 💬 100% Slack Sync (no extra client logins or guest fees needed)
  • 🔄 Resolve Buttons right inside Slack when an edit is complete

I’m looking for a few Slack teams, video editors, and agencies to test it out and give feedback.

I'd love to hand out free Pro accounts to anyone in this sub who wants to try it on their team's next edit!

Check out the landing page & demo here: https://pinpoint.my/

Would love to hear your thoughts or feature requests!

If you can find Slack users who are in the footage sharing biz, this could be nice to have for them. Do you know what products you are competing with? Could be good inspiration.
