UK-Based Web Startup ProofHQ Launches Online Video Proofing

Online, October 8, 2010 (Newswire.com) - ProofHQ today announces the extension of its service to include the ability to proof Audio-Visual (AV) files in addition to web and print files, making it one of the most comprehensive online proofing services in the market.

Features of the AV proofing include:-

Threaded commenting with date stamps and approval as a recorded audit trail
Adjustable playhead allowing collaborative markup at specific points in the video or stretched over a whole section of the video
Side-by-side version comparison to check whether previous feedback has been incorporated
Ability to transfer the finished file at the end of the proofing process

The application already boasts the ability to share large files, upload proofs for review and approval with collaborative commenting and markup. This includes very large files of up to 1GB. With drag and drop functionality throughout, including their Desktop Uploader, the team have worked hard to ensure the app is as intuitive and easy to use as possible.

ProofHQ was created by a small group of individuals who had experienced many years of pain getting designs reviewed and approved. When they were unable to find any product that was able to fulfil all of their needs, they decided to build their own and the rest they say is history.

The service has experienced rapid growth following its integration with a number of the leading project management tools including Basecamp. With an upcoming integration with Freshbooks (the online invoicing service) and Sharepoint (the project management tool) they're positioning themselves as a key product for all freelancers, agencies and marketing teams. The company is already experiencing revenue growth of 10%-15% each month and reached break-even within the first year of operation, impressive for a bootstrapped start-up.

Unusually for a young web company, they've already won some large clients including BlackBerry, AT&T, and General Electric. They have been able to scale their service from freelancers to multinational companies - something many web start-ups are still struggling within today's market.
