Revision Round

A revision round is one defined cycle of feedback and the single new version that follows it.

What this is about

Rounds are the unit clients understand and quotes can count. What they rarely define is where one ends: consolidated feedback delivered inside an agreed window is one round, while three separate mails on three days are three, unless the offer says otherwise. Write that rule into the quote next to the number of rounds. A round corrects inside the agreed scope — trimming a sequence, swapping a take, fixing a lower third. A wish that adds a new scene or another language version leaves that frame and becomes a change request instead.

A term only helps when everyone on set means the same thing by it — so what follows is how it is used, not a dictionary definition.

What runs differently here

Where this differs from the general case:

  • Define what closes a round: consolidated feedback within an agreed window, delivered through one channel
  • Rounds correct inside the scope; anything that enlarges the scope is a change request with a price
  • Price the additional round in the original quote, so the fourth one is a rate and not a negotiation

With TillyGen

TillyGen fixes deliverables and review points in the plan, so the number of rounds is agreed before the first cut exists.

Change one constraint and the consequences travel through the whole plan: affected shots are flagged, the call sheet is regenerated, and nobody keeps working from yesterday's version.

Frequently asked

How many revision rounds should a corporate film quote include?

Two or three is the common range, with every further round priced. What matters more than the number is a written rule for what counts as one round.

How long does it take to get started with TillyGen?

A first project takes under an hour to set up. There is no configuration phase in which templates and fields have to be defined before the tool produces anything.

Can the results be exported?

Yes — as PDF for the crew, CSV for downstream systems and through the API for anything automated. The plan stays the source; the exports are views of it.
