RAW & bracket intake
Chunked, resumable uploads sized for full bracket sets and video source footage, grouped by the job rather than a dated folder.
Feature — Production
Team and editor workflow for real estate media production.
Assignment, style notes, revisions, QC and payout tracking — so production is a managed part of the business rather than a folder someone remembers to check.
The problem
Production is where a growing media company actually breaks.
One editor and five shoots a week runs fine on messages and folders. Three editors and thirty shoots does not. The failure is rarely skill — it is that the brief, the files, the revision history and the pay record live in four different systems, and only the owner's memory joins them.
The fix is unglamorous: make the job the unit of work, and make every production event write to it.
What that buys an owner
- Onboard an editor without inventing a folder convention for them.
- Know which jobs are waiting on production versus waiting on you.
- Keep one client's style consistent across different editors.
- See the cost of a job next to what it billed.
- Hand a job to a second editor without losing the brief.
What you get
The production surface.
Editor assignment
Work is routed to an editor with the property, the brief and the ordered services already attached.
Style notes that travel
Your look is recorded against the work instead of re-explained in every hand-off message.
Revision rounds
Notes are written against the job so a second pass references the actual set, not a paraphrase of it.
Review & approval
Nothing reaches a client until the owner has looked at it and approved the delivery.
Payout tracking
Editor pay is derived from the finished work on the job, so production cost and client revenue sit on the same record.
The production loop
Upload, assign, produce, revise, approve, pay.
- Step 01
Upload
Brackets and clips land on the job, resumable and grouped by property.
- Step 02
Assign
An editor takes the job with brief and style notes attached.
- Step 03
Produce
The edit is done against the actual order, not a folder of loose files.
- Step 04
Revise
Notes are recorded on the job and answered with a new pass.
- Step 05
Approve
The owner signs off before the client sees anything.
- Step 06
Pay & payout
Client payment and editor payout both reference the same work.

| How the editor knows the brief | A message, if it was written | Carried with the assignment |
| Revision history | Email thread | Notes on the job |
| Quality gate | Whoever remembers to look | Explicit approval step before delivery |
| Editor pay | Counted up at month end | Tracked per finished unit of work |
FAQ
Production and editor questions
How does work get to an editor?
Jobs are assigned to an editor inside the platform, with the brief and the uploaded brackets or clips already attached. There is no separate email with a link and a paragraph of instructions.
Can I use my own editors?
The platform is built around a production team with editor roles, assignment and payout tracking, so a media company can run its own editors on the same rails the RELMX editing service uses.
How are revisions handled?
Revision notes are written against the job, so the request, the version it applies to and the returned files stay in one place. Nobody has to reconstruct what was asked for from a thread.
Who approves work before the client sees it?
The photographer or account owner reviews the finished set and either approves the delivery or sends it back for another pass.
How is editor pay tracked?
Payout is tracked per unit of finished work on the job, so what an editor is owed is derived from the production record rather than rebuilt from file counts at the end of the month.
If you would rather not staff production at all, outsourcing the editing runs on exactly the same rails.
