How to add comments on the video editing timeline

Timeline comments make it super easy to give feedback, ask questions, or even just leave notes for your own video editing process.

1. Select the Comments tool

First thing you’re gonna want to do is head to the timeline - this is the area where you will build your video, and where you’ll be placing your comments. To add a comment, click on the speech bubble icon right above the timeline.

2. Drop a comment on the timeline

Now, go ahead and hover over the timeline - you’ll notice a glowing dot. This shows you where your comment will go. Click anywhere on the timeline to drop a comment. A small pop-up will appear where you can write your note.

3. Directly mention a team mate

You can also directly mention a teammate - one that was either invited into your specific video project or is already part of your Team - by typing @ followed by their name. They’ll receive an email with a button taking them straight to the project and timestamp.

4. View all the comments in the video project

If you want to see all the comments in your video, click the speech bubble icon again. This opens the comments panel on the right-hand side. From here, you can scroll through them all, click on a comment to jump straight to that specific moment, and reply directly in the thread.

5. Edit and resolve a comment

You can also select the tick icon - either on the timeline or in the panel - to resolve and mark a comment as done. To edit any of your comments, select the three dots, click edit, make your changes, and hit save.

And there you go - no more 30-minute meetings just to hear 'Can we just trim that one clip?'
