Media Annotation

Media annotation in Statusbrew allows teams to leave time-stamped comments on videos and image-specific feedback directly inside the platform. Instead of relying on external tools, you can now collaborate on creative assets where you manage your posts — making the review process faster and more organized.

Video Annotations

You can add comments tied to a specific timestamp in a video, making it easier to highlight edits and feedback. Click on the video in the Post Detail or Asset Detail to preview it and leave comments.

• Stop & Comment: Pause the video at any timestamp and type your comment.

• Playback Controls:

  • Use media controls to play/pause.

  • Click on any timestamp in the timeline to jump directly there.

  • Use the play/pause button above the text box.

  • If the video is playing and you focus on the text box, playback stops at that exact timestamp.

• Comment Visibility:

  • All comments are displayed in the annotation panel.

  • Comments are also visible in Post Detail All activity and Comments section.

  • Clicking on a timestamp in a comment takes you directly to that moment in the video.

Image Annotations

For images, you can add comments specific to each asset in the set.

• Add comments directly under each image.

• In Post Detail, clicking on an image hyperlink in a comment opens that particular image.

Where to Annotate Media
