Video review requires precise feedback. Approvalbox captures the exact frame with every comment.
Adding Timestamped Comments
- Play the video to the desired frame
- Pause the video (or let it play)
- Click on the video to add a pin
- Your comment will include the timestamp
The timestamp appears automatically - no need to type "at 1:23"!
Navigating to Comments
Click any comment to jump to its timestamp:
- In the comments panel, click a comment
- The video jumps to that exact frame
- Perfect for reviewing all feedback quickly
Timeline Markers
Comments appear as markers on the video timeline:
- Coloured dots show where comments exist
- Hover to see comment preview
- Click to jump to that timestamp
Frame-by-Frame Navigation
For precise positioning:
- Use , and . keys to step frames
- Use ← and → for 5-second jumps
- Use J, K, L for playback control
Best Practices
- Be specific: "The logo at 1:23" is clearer than "the logo"
- Use frame stepping: Get the exact frame
- Check markers: Make sure you haven't duplicated comments
- Reference timestamps: When replying, mention times
