What our customers say
"Louper is completely brilliant, we ran a session and everyone had their minds blown, the director couldn't stop singing praise for it and he's worked with a lot of other remote systems before. Really, really chuffed with it."
"This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for your awesome tool."
"Clients really like Louper's interactive options for Color Grading sessions. It really streamlines our creative process. A very well thought out tool!"
"Louper is great! So impressive how much better of an experience it has been over Zoom for remote editing."
"The image and sound quality is incredible and fundamental to working effectively both internally as a team and externally with clients"

"Louper is the most like being in a physical room with an editor, working together. And it's super stable."
"Louper helps me maintain very personal relationships with directors and producers, helping to steer the direction of a project and ensuring we're achieving a shared creative vision."
