Review 1.0.0 - Frame Comments & Focus Mode

Review reaches 1.0.0 with comments you can pin to a frame, a new focus mode for trying things out, improved UX, better frame accuracy and a cleaner view for guests.

📍 Link Comments to Frames

Point a comment at the exact moment it is about.

  • Single frame: link a note to the frame where the problem is.

  • Range: link a note to a stretch of frames, like a shot that pops for six frames.

  • Jump to it: click the link in a comment and the player goes straight there.

🎯 Focus Mode

Pick a few clips and review just those, without touching your original review session. It is a sandbox for trying things out.

  • Focus on your selection: select several clips in the playlist and click Focus at the bottom. The timeline shows only those clips and everything else is hidden.

  • Try ideas freely: reorder clips, section them, remove them, or swap in different versions to compare. None of it changes the original session.

  • Keep it or drop it: Discard or save the changes you made the focused clips.

🧹 A Cleaner Guest View

Guests get a simpler player, built for giving feedback.

  • Compact controls: audio, reset zoom, fullscreen and one overflow menu.

  • Approval at a glance: clip cards show Approved or Changes requested instead of internal statuses.
