John Traver
BS '10
Co‐founder / Senior Principal Scientist at Frame.io
When RIT alum John Traver launched his own production company, he found the video editing process to be cumbersome in how editors and clients review and provide feedback on all aspects of video production. Recognizing these challenges led Traver to build a better solution. Frame.io enables online workspaces where video, photo, and audio assets are uploaded for clients and others to provide real-time feedback. As a result, Traver and Frame.io have reshaped the creative industry.
Frame.io is a video review and collaboration platform designed to unify media assets and creative conversations in a user‐friendly environment. Headquartered in New York City, Frame.io was developed by filmmakers, VFX artists and post production executives. Today, they support nearly 1 million media professionals at enterprises including Netflix, Buzzfeed, Turner, Nasa & Vice Media, and are backed by leading investors such as Firstmark, Accel Partners, Signal Fire and Jared Leto. Frame.io was acquired by Adobe in November of 2021.
