Starting a Presentation

All users in a presentation can view, add markers, comment and annotate any of the clips in a presentation independently of each other. Owners and members with the correct permissions can use the ‘sync player’ option to sync everyone’s viewer to their own. This means everyone can watch the same clip at the same time.

Selecting a Clip

To select a clip to view, click on the clip’s thumbnail in the ‘clips’ tab in the right hand sidebar. The clip will load in the viewer ready for you to view.

Clips can be sorted by date, duration or name and arranged in ascending or descending order by opening the ‘sort’ menu in the ‘clips’ tab. You can also search for a clip by name by clicking the search icon.

The three icons in the top left of the ‘clips’ tab let you switch between metadata, thumbnail and list views. Hovering your mouse over a clip in metadata or thumbnail view allows you to scrub through the video.

If you are a presentation owner or a member with the correct permissions, you can also rename, download and delete clips by clicking the icons when in metadata or thumbnail view. In list view, you can access these options by clicking the 3 dot menu next to the clip.
