Pin Feedback to the Exact Frame
Every comment in RecReview is tied to a specific timestamp in the video. When a reviewer pauses and types a note, the comment is automatically anchored to that timecode. Editors click the comment and the player jumps directly to the relevant moment.
This precision eliminates the most common source of revision confusion: misidentified timecodes. Reviewers never need to manually type timestamps or describe where in the video they mean. The platform handles that context automatically.
Comments appear as markers on the video timeline, giving editors a visual map of all feedback across the entire cut. Dense clusters of markers signal areas that need the most attention, helping editors prioritize their work. Learn more about frame-accurate comments and why they matter.
Annotations and Visual Markup
Sometimes words are not enough. RecReview lets reviewers draw directly on video frames to circle problem areas, highlight composition issues, or indicate where text should be repositioned. Annotations are saved with the comment and visible to everyone on the project.
Visual markup is especially valuable for motion graphics, lower-third placement, and color correction notes. Instead of writing "the logo is too close to the edge," a reviewer can draw a boundary showing exactly where the safe zone ends.
Annotations support freehand drawing, shapes, and arrows. They persist across sessions and can be toggled on or off so they never interfere with watching the video at full quality.
Threaded Replies and Mentions
Comments support threaded replies so conversations stay organized. An editor can respond to a note, ask for clarification, or confirm the fix without cluttering the main comment list. Each thread is collapsible and tied to its parent timecode.
Mention team members with @ to pull them into specific conversations. Mentioned users receive a notification so they can respond quickly without needing to scrub through the entire comment list looking for relevant notes.
Private comments let internal team members discuss notes before surfacing them to clients through the client portal. This keeps sensitive conversations about creative direction or production issues separate from the client-facing review thread.
Resolve, Assign, and Track
Mark comments as resolved once the edit has been made. Resolved comments move out of the active view so your team can focus on remaining work. They stay accessible in the history for audit purposes or if a revision needs to be revisited.
Assign comments to specific team members to create clear ownership. An editor knows exactly which notes are their responsibility, and producers can track who has unresolved feedback at a glance. Combined with status filters, this turns the comment panel into a lightweight task list that feeds into your review and approval workflow.
Frequently asked questions
Can clients leave time-coded comments without an account?
Yes. Clients can leave time-coded comments through the shared review link or client portal. They enter their name and email to create a visitor session, no account signup required.
Are annotations supported on mobile devices?
Annotations are optimized for desktop browsers where precision drawing is most practical. On mobile devices, reviewers can leave text comments with automatic timecode anchoring.
Can I export comments for use in other tools?
Yes. Comments can be exported as timeline markers — XML for Adobe Premiere Pro and FCPXML for DaVinci Resolve — so feedback lands directly on your editor's timeline. Comments and their timecodes are also included in delivery reports.
