Delivery order
Scaffold the smallest runnable application and document its commands.
done whenThe project starts from a documented command in a clean checkout.
Implement the primary data model and core workflow.
done whenThe main object can be created, read and changed end to end.
Add validation, safe failure states, and persistence.
done whenBad input is refused with a readable message and nothing is left corrupted.
Cover the critical path with automated tests.
done whenThe highest-risk behavior fails the suite when it breaks.
Exercise a clean install from the README and fix every missing step.
done whenA fresh clone reaches the first successful workflow using only the README.
That is the whole plan for Frame.io. What it deliberately does not cover is below · check the gaps before you call it a replacement.
- Camera to Cloud ingest straight off set
- Premiere, After Effects, and Resolve review panels that sync comments to timeline markers
- a transcode farm and global CDN, so client playback is only as good as your box
- forensic watermarking, SSO, and the security posture studios require
- the iPad and mobile review apps clients actually use
- storage, transfer tooling, and uptime bundled into the seat price
