In addition to the ability to leave text comments on an asset,
00:12
you can also include in app annotations, allowing
00:15
you to get very specific with your review feedback.
00:18
To leave an annotation while viewing an asset,
00:20
first click on the comments icon on the right hand side.
00:24
Above the add comment field,
00:26
you'll notice several annotation icons, including a pencil for free drawing, a
00:30
beacon,
00:32
an arrow,
00:33
a rectangle,
00:33
and a circle.
00:35
You'll also be able to choose the color of your annotation using the color figure.
00:40
Once you've selected your tool and color,
00:42
you can then use your mouse to annotate your asset
00:45
however you'd like.
00:50
When you're satisfied with your annotations,
00:52
you can then add your comment alongside them by clicking
00:55
into the add a comment field, typing your comment,
01:02
and hitting enter, as per usual.
01:05
If you'd like to leave an annotation without leaving a text comment,
01:09
you can do so by annotating as normal
01:13
and then leaving the add a comment field blank.
01:16
Just be sure to still hit enter so that your annotation is saved.
01:22
Annotations behave in the same way as comments.
01:25
They're viewable by anyone with access,
01:27
they'll be included if you export your comments,
01:29
and they capture the dynamic range,
01:32
playback resolution,
01:33
and time code.
