Video Feedback

You can leave feedback directly on videos and send it to the assistant — no need to describe timestamps or explain what you're pointing at. Feedback works in two places: on rendered videos in the chat, and in the timeline editor while you're editing.

The Video Player

Rendered videos now appear in a built-in video player right in the chat. The player includes standard controls — play/pause, a volume slider, a timeline scrub bar, fullscreen, playback speed, and a current time / duration display. Hover over the scrub bar to see a precise time tooltip, and drag to seek through the video.

Playback Speed

Click the speed button (showing the current rate, e.g. "1x") in the player controls to cycle through playback speeds. This is handy for quickly scanning through longer videos or slowing down to catch details.

How It Works

When a rendered video appears in the chat, you can add feedback markers at specific moments. Each marker lets you write a comment and optionally draw on the video frame to highlight exactly what you mean.

The assistant receives your feedback — including your drawings and comments — and can make changes based on what you've marked.

Adding Feedback

  1. Click the comment button (in the player controls bar) to enter feedback mode. The video pauses and the annotation toolbar appears.
  2. Write your comment in the text field — describe what you'd like changed.
  3. Draw on the frame (optional) — use the drawing tools to circle, underline, or highlight something on screen. Pick a color from the toolbar, undo strokes if needed, or clear the canvas to start over.
  4. Adjust the time — use the start and end time fields on the right side of the toolbar to set exactly when the marker applies. To create a range marker (e.g., "this whole section needs to be shorter"), set the end time later than the start time. You can also scrub the video after clicking the comment button — the annotation range automatically extends from your starting point to wherever you scrub to, making it easy to select a section without typing times manually.
  5. Save the marker when you're done.

Repeat for as many moments as you'd like to comment on. Markers appear as dots (or highlighted ranges) on the timeline so you can see where you've left feedback.

Fine-Tuning Times

The start and end time fields in the annotation toolbar give you precise control:

  • Click a time field to type a specific time (e.g., 1:23.456).
  • Scroll up or down on a time field to nudge the time. Hold Shift while scrolling for larger jumps (1 second instead of 0.1 seconds).
  • Arrow keys — press Up or Down to step by 10 milliseconds. Hold the key to accelerate: it starts at 10ms steps, ramps up to 50ms, then 100ms, then 500ms the longer you hold.

The video frame updates as you adjust, so you can see exactly which frame your marker lands on.

Sending Feedback

Once you've added all your markers, click Send Feedback to submit. Your comments and drawings are sent to the assistant as a message, and the assistant can respond and make adjustments based on what you marked.

Editing and Deleting Markers

Below the player, your markers are listed with their timestamps, comments, and drawing thumbnails.

  • Click a marker on the timeline or in the list to edit it — the annotation toolbar reopens with the marker's comment and drawing loaded.
  • Delete a marker using the delete button next to it in the list, or from the toolbar when editing.

Keyboard Shortcuts

  • Ctrl+Z (or Cmd+Z on Mac) — undo the last drawing stroke.
  • Escape — cancel the current annotation without saving.
  • Enter — save the current marker (when the comment field is focused).

Tips

  • Use drawings to point out specific things on screen — it's much faster than trying to describe them in words.
  • You can add as many markers as you need before sending.
  • Range markers are great for pacing feedback — set a different end time to say "this section feels too long" or "speed this part up."
  • Hover over markers on the timeline to see a preview of your comment and drawing.

Feedback in the Timeline Editor

You can also add feedback markers directly in the timeline editor while working on your project — you don't have to render first.

Open the Feedback panel from the editor's side panel (the speech-bubble icon on the right). From there you can add new markers at the current playhead position, write comments, adjust time ranges, and manage all your annotations in one place. A badge on the icon shows how many markers you currently have.

You can also create feedback ranges by clicking or dragging directly on the ruler above the timeline tracks. Click a point to create a single-time marker, or click and drag across a section to create a range marker. Either way, the Feedback panel opens automatically with your new annotation ready for a comment.

Feedback markers appear on the ruler as dots (point markers) or highlighted spans (range markers), giving you a visual overview of all your notes as you edit. Click any marker on the ruler or in the panel to revisit and edit it.

Markers Persist Across Sessions

Your feedback markers are saved automatically and will still be there the next time you open the same project — even if you close the browser or come back later. This means you can leave notes over multiple editing sessions without losing anything.

This is useful for leaving notes to yourself as you review a rough cut, or for building up a list of changes to send to the assistant all at once.
