Video and Audio Proof Viewer settings
Video and Audio Proof Viewer settings
The Video and Audio Proof Viewer is designed to look and feel the same as the standard Proof Viewer, with a few different features.
-
Volume & mute - this button increases or decreases the sound. This button can also be used for muting the sound.
-
Timer and time format - the first set of numbers shows the time elapsed, followed by the total length of the video. You can also decide in what format the timer should be displayed: Time, Time Code, and Frames.
-
Range-based comments - if you need to add a comment that refers to some part of the audio/video file, you can adjust the starting and ending point of the comment by moving comment indicators. The indicators' range timeline will be additionally added next to the comment. Every comment (with or without range added) will show a timestamp beneath the video progress bar. Every comment timestamp shows the avatar or initials of the person who added the comment.
-
Play/Pause & Skip to the next/previous frames - The play/pause button allows you to start and stop the video. Alternatively, you can hit the space bar, which will work like clicking the play/pause button.
Use Left and right arrows to skip a video to the next/previous frame.
Use Shift + arrow to skip 15 frames in the video (paused and during playback). -
Playback speed - click this button to increase or decrease video speed.
-
Subtitles - if subtitles were added during proof creation, this button will let reviewers switch them on/off during video playback.
-
Safe zones (Standard, Pro, Business Legacy & Enterprise feature only) - let you see how the video will look with different safe areas displayed on the video image.
-
Loop - this button allows you to put a video on a loop, and it will start the video automatically once it reaches the end.
-
Full-screen mode - opens a video in full-screen mode.
Add range-based comments
When commenting on an audio or video file, you can select a specific range on the timeline to define the start and end points your comment refers to.
Ranges-based comment timestamp saved within the comment
When leaving comments using the range-based commenting feature, a timestamp is automatically saved within the comment. This helps provide context for reviewers and makes it easier to track changes.
Refine range-based comments to a single frame
Hold Shift while dragging comment markers to adjust the start and end points precisely.
Adjust the whole range of a range-based comment
To adjust the range of a range-based comment, hover over the green line under the time lane and drag it.
Switch between the start and the end of a range-base comment
To move the playhead to the start or end of a range-based comment, click the left or right edge of the range. The playhead will jump to that point.
Loop playback while creating a range-based comment
When you select a range and create a comment, pressing play will play only that portion of the video. Enable loop playback to have the selected range repeat automatically.
To explore parts of the video outside your selected range, click and drag the comment range to cover the section you want to view. You can also hover over the timeline to preview thumbnails beyond the selected range.
Video subtitles
Add a subtitle to the video when creating a proof review to comment on subtitles synced with the video.
Available for: reviewers with View permissions. Every reviewer that is added to a proof will automatically have View permissions.
Export video comments to PDF
When exporting comments to PDF from a video proof with subtitles, the exported file includes captions displayed below the markup thumbnail. For more information, see Exporting comments in Ziflow.
