Creating a Video Project
A video project lets you upload a clip and gather feedback tied to exact moments in the footage. Reviewers drop comments at specific timecodes, draw on frames, and react — perfect for reviewing motion work, demos, or recorded walkthroughs.
How It Works
•Upload one or more video clips into a dedicated video project.
•Reviewers scrub the timeline and pin comments to precise timecodes in the clip.
•Mark up individual frames with a pin, rectangle, circle, or free-form drawing.
•Preview a frame in desktop, tablet, or mobile framing to check responsive layouts.
•Add emoji reactions to comments or to the whole video.
•Large files are automatically compressed on upload to save space and upload faster.
Steps
1.From your dashboard, click New project and give it a name.
2.Choose the video project type instead of the web type.
3.Open the project and click Upload to add your video clip.
4.Wait for the clip to compress and finish uploading — you'll see friendly progress messages while it works.
5.Invite clients and teammates and set each person's access level.
6.Play the video, pause at a moment, and drop a comment or draw a shape to leave timecoded feedback.
Annotation Tools and Framing
Option | What it does |
|---|---|
Pin | Drop a single point on the frame to mark an exact spot. |
Rectangle | Draw a box around a region you want to highlight. |
Circle | Draw an ellipse to circle an area of the frame. |
Free draw | Sketch a free-form scribble anywhere on the frame. |
Device framing | Preview the stage in desktop, tablet, or mobile shape for context. |
Tips & Notes
•Pause on the exact frame before adding a comment — feedback is anchored to that timecode.
•Larger uploads are shrunk automatically, so you don't need to compress clips yourself beforehand.
•Each member's access level controls whether they see all comments or only their own.
Video uploads are limited by your plan's per-file cap and your shared storage pool. If a file is too large, you'll be told before the upload starts.
For short clips explaining a single issue, use inline recordings on a web project instead — video review projects are best for full footage.
Troubleshooting
•Upload rejected as too large: check your plan's per-file cap and how much storage you have left, then upgrade or free up space.
•Comment lands on the wrong moment: pause the player on the correct frame first, then place the pin.
•A client can't see other reviewers' notes: this is expected — client access shows only their own comments.
•Compression seems stuck: larger clips take longer — leave the tab open until the progress messages finish.
