Drawn Annotations on the Viewer
It’s now possible to use the Annotations mode of the Timeline Viewer to draw arrows and strokes of
different weights and colors directly on the video frame, in order to point out or highlight things that
need to be fixed. These annotations are stored within markers, similarly to marker names and notes.
To start, simply choose Annotations mode from the Timeline Viewer mode drop-down menu.
Choosing Annotations from the Viewer
Mode drop-down menu
Once in Annotations mode, an Annotations toolbar appears showing the following options:
– Draw tool with line weight drop-down: Click the Draw tool to be able to freeform draw on the
Viewer. Click the Line Weight drop-down to choose from one of three line weights to draw with.
– Arrow tool: Click the Arrow tool to draw straight-line arrows pointing at features you want to call
attention to. Arrows are always drawn at the same weight, regardless of the weight selected for
the Line tool.
– Line Tool: Click the Line tool to draw straight lines on the Viewer.
– Rectangle Tool: Click the Rectangle tool to draw boxes on the Viewer.
– Color drop-down: Choose a color for drawing or lines.

Methods of making and editing annotations:
– To create an annotation: Simply enable Annotations mode, then park the playhead on any frame
of the Timeline and start drawing. A marker will automatically be added to the Timeline at that
frame, and that marker contains the annotation data. If you park the playhead over a preexisting
timeline marker, annotations will be added to that marker.
– To edit a stroke or arrow you’ve already created: Move the pointer over a stroke or arrow and
click to select it, then choose a new line weight or color from the appropriate drop-down menu, or
drag that stroke or arrow to a new location to move it.
– To delete a stroke or arrow: Move the pointer over a stroke or arrow and click to select it, then
press the Delete or Backspace keys.
