Video revision request form for clients (free template)

A revision request form is one sheet your client fills in to use a round of changes: which version they watched, which round this is, and one line per change with a timecode. It stops feedback arriving in pieces and gives you a record of what was asked. Copy the form below or download it as a Word file, and send it with your first cut.

The form (copy and paste)

Revision request form

Project: [project name]

Version reviewed: [for example v2]

Round: [for example 1 of 2]

Sent by: [client name]

Date: [date]

Changes requested. One line per change, each with a timecode:

1. [00:42 shorten the intro by two seconds]

2. [01:15 replace the music with the agreed alternative track]

3. [00:58 make the logo larger in the end card]

Not part of a revision. New footage, a new concept or script, extra formats or aspect ratios, and extra versions are quoted separately.

Confirmation. I confirm this is the complete list of changes for this round. Name: [name]. Date: [date].

This is a template, not legal advice. Pair it with a written revision policy so the client agreed to the rules before they sent it.

Why I made this form

The back and forth around an edit has always cost me more than the edit itself, and the fix was never a firmer tone. It was agreeing how a round works before the first cut: the longer version is on the revision policy page.

How to use the form

Send it with the first cut, so the client sees what a round looks like before they react to the video.
One form per round. If feedback arrives in several messages, reply that you will start the round once you have the complete list.
One version at a time. The form names the version reviewed, so you never edit against old notes.
Keep the filled form. It is your record of what was asked in each round, and of the moment the client confirmed the list was complete.

What a good request line looks like

A good line has a timecode, a single change and, where useful, the reason. “00:42 shorten the intro by two seconds, it feels slow” is actionable. “Make it more dynamic” is not: ask the client to point to the moments they mean.

Examples by video type:

Product video: “00:18 show the product label for a full second before the price appears.”
Social clip: “00:03 cut the first sentence and start on the second.”
Corporate video: “01:12 change the lower third to Head of Operations.”
Event recap: “00:40 swap the wide shot for the audience reaction shot.”

Do: one change per line, with a timecode.
Do: say if two notes conflict and who decides.
Don’t: mix a revision with new scope, such as a new format or extra footage. Those are quoted separately.

How Revu handles this

Revu review screen: the paused video on the left and, on the right, a feedback list with comments pinned to timecodes, a progress bar showing 4 of 6 addressed, and a box to pin a new comment to the current frame — In Revu the client pins each note to the exact frame, so the list of changes builds itself with timecodes.

If you use a review tool, the form’s job is done by the timeline: the client pins each note to a frame, and you can count the round. Read how to get useful client feedback on a video for the full workflow.

Frequently asked questions

What is a video revision request form?

A single sheet a client fills in to request a round of changes. It names the project and version, the round number, and lists each change with a timecode, so feedback arrives as one consolidated list.

When should I send the form to the client?

Send it with the first cut, together with your revision policy, so the client knows from the start what a round looks like.

Is this form legal advice or a contract?

No. It is a working template. Put the number of included rounds in your contract or revision policy, and have a professional review contracts for larger projects.
