About Clip Notes comments

Use Clip Notes to submit a movie to reviewers for comments. When you render and export a movie for Clip Notes comments, a copy of the movie or a link to the movie is included in an Adobe PDF file. The movie can be in a Windows Media (Windows only) or QuickTime container format.

Composition markers (After Effects) and sequence markers (Adobe Premiere Pro) are included with the movie as comments, so you can submit questions to reviewers or solicit comments about specific parts of the movie.

Note: When you create a Clip Notes review movie, you can specify FTP settings in the Others tab of the export settings dialog box to automatically place the PDF file on an FTP server for convenient exchange of files and comments.

When your reviewers open the PDF, they can play the movie and enter comments. Each comment is associated with a specific time in the movie.

A reviewer then exports the comments to a file and sends the file back to you. When you import the comments, the reviewer’s comments appear in the comments field of markers placed in the Timeline panel.

To view the PDF, a reviewer must have Adobe Acrobat Standard, Acrobat Professional, or Adobe Reader (version 7.0.5 or later). Adobe Reader is available as a free download from the Adobe website.

Note: To keep comments from being associated with the wrong part of a movie, avoid changing the sequence or composition until you have imported all Clip Notes comments related to it.
