Review 0.2.0 - Presenter Mode

Syncing has been redesigned to improve the user experience and performance, most notably with the introduction of Presenter Mode. This update ensures smoother collaboration during creative reviews, keeping everyone on the same page.

Presenters

Anyone in a review session can now take the lead. Presenting puts one person in control of the timeline, ensuring that all participants follow the same frame and sequence. While the presenter drives the session, other users aren't just passive viewers, they can still contribute by creating real-time annotations and feedback.

The right-side "People" panel confirms the synchronized state with a "Synced - 2" header, listing "Jessie (admin)" and "Tom (presenting, luke)".

Auto Sync

Joining a session is now faster and more intuitive. When entering a review, users are prompted to join the sync, with Syncing set as the default choice. Once joined, you are instantly aligned with the presenter and the rest of the team, making it effortless to jump straight into the discussion.

User Management

Stay informed about who is participating in your review. You can now easily see who is currently in the session and who is synced by simply hovering over the sync button or checking the People tab. Managers and presenters have enhanced control to sync users, manage or remove presenters, identify who hasn't joined, and even remove users from the session if necessary.

❀️ Improvements

  • Looping has been improved to make it easier to review clip by clip.

  • Invert grid lines when on lighter backgrounds.
