Leave feedback on specific video frames — no more vague notes like "fix that part around 3 minutes." Video commenting lets you pinpoint exactly what you're talking about.

Clipping Videos

Use Cases
Giving feedback to an editor
Instead of writing "the transition at the beginning is too fast," click on the exact frame and say "start the transition here instead."
Pulling clips from research
Watching a YouTube video for research? Press E to clip the best parts and save them directly to your workspace for later use.
Collaborating on rough cuts
Team members can leave timestamped notes throughout a video, creating a clear punch list for revisions.
Client feedback
Share a video with a client and let them leave precise feedback that's easy to act on.
Tips for Better Video Comments
Be specific
Good: "Cut to the B-roll of the product here" Less helpful: "Something feels off in this section"
Use drawings for visual feedback
A quick circle or arrow can communicate more than a paragraph of text.
Use clips for handoffs
Instead of describing which parts of a video you need, clip them directly and share the clips.
