# Treatment

## Send treatments as good as your work.

Your idea, references, routes and film on one page your client opens anywhere. Treatment software built for creative studios.

- [Start your treatment](https://formlio.com/signup)
- [See the templates](https://formlio.com/templates)

### Present

Show your references, frames and film at full size, in your studio's look.

No more frames flattened into a slide deck.

### Send

Share one treatment link that always shows the latest version.

No more new files and emails for every correction.

### Follow up

See who opened the treatment and which sections they read.

No more sending a PDF into a black box.

### Agree

Let them comment on the page and approve the direction.

No more feedback scattered across email threads.

## Treatment templates for creative studios.

Treatment templates for film, photo and marketing studios. Set out the brief, the rationale and the creative routes, in your studio's look.

- [Bristol](https://formlio.com/templates/bristol-launch-film-proposal) — Win product launch film projects with a creative proposal template featuring a client brief, data-backed rationale, and three creative routes with a recommendation.

## Go from first draft to your client.

Lay out references, frames, routes and film in your studio's look. Share it privately, see what they read, and collect comments and approval on the same page.

1. **Present: Build it from blocks, in your studio's look.** — \- Blocks for showcases, galleries, video and step-by-step breakdowns - Logo, fonts and colours set once - Start from a template or duplicate your last treatment
2. **Send: Choose who sees the treatment, then share the link.** — On a private link, only the people you invite can open it. Allow re-sharing per person, or keep it to them.
3. **Follow up: Get an alert when it's opened, then see what they read.** — See who viewed it on a private link, how often, and the time spent on each section.
4. **Agree: Let them comment on the page and approve the direction.** — Signed-in viewers quote a passage or reply to a bubble pinned on the page. They approve the route with a slide.

## Add more to every treatment.

Embed Vimeo, YouTube and Figma boards next to each route. Publish it all on your studio's own domain.

### Embed what you already use

Vimeo, YouTube and Figma boards, live on the page.

### Talk on the page

Pin a video or voice note next to each route, and chat live with your client on the document.

### Your own domain

Publish your documents at an address like docs.yourstudio.com. On the Pro plan.

### Connect ChatGPT or Claude

Build, edit or check on documents from the chat.

### Live editing

Your team works on the same document at the same time, and sees when your client is on it.

## What changes when the treatment is a page.

Three studios, in their own words.

> The level of customisation is a real strength. It allows you to create something that feels aligned with your own visual identity, without compromising on speed or usability. And importantly, it moves proposals away from static documents into something far more dynamic and engaging.
>
> — Ana Grigorovici, Founder, Designer & Creative Strategist, Design Bench Studio

> I’ve used Formlio for design cases and proposals, and it’s a much better fit than the usual old-school tools. Most of them feel like a chore. Formlio doesn’t. It’s flexible, easy to use, and the support is seriously top tier.
>
> — Tadas Jotkevicius, Creative Art Director & 3D Artist, Tadas

> The team at Formlio are so passionate about building a product specifically for creatives. They have really listened and turned feedback in features that are especially important to our day-to-day proposals. Having a responsive, web-style proposal just makes sense. It meets people where they are eg. scrolling on their phone, mid commute, making quick decisions. I’ve really loved connecting with Marianne and watching Formlio's journey unfold from the early stages.

## Common questions about treatments.

Film and references, comments, approving a route, privacy, what they read and reuse for your treatments.

### Can I upload my own film?

Yes. Upload MP4, MOV or WebM files up to 1 GB and 10 minutes, trim them and pick the thumbnail, or embed from YouTube, Vimeo or Dailymotion.

### Can my client comment on a specific line?

Yes. Signed-in viewers select text to quote it into the chat, or reply to a video, voice or text bubble pinned on the page. Comment on selection works on desktop.

### How does my client approve a route?

With Slide-to-Approve for a quick yes, or an e-signature when the approval must be formal.

### Can I keep it private?

Yes. On a private link, only the people you invite can open it, and they verify their email first. Anyone else can request access, which you approve or decline from the email.

### Will I know which route they spent time on?

Yes. Section analytics show the time spent on each section, and heatmaps show where they hovered.

### Can I reuse it for the next pitch?

Yes. Duplicate the document and change what differs, or save a block you have set up and add it to your next treatment.

> “The work studios make is considered down to the last detail. The documents that carry it to the client rarely are. We made Formlio so every one of them is as good as the work.”
