Marking Up Videos In Vosaic Connect

April 28, 2016
The first iteration of our video markup User Interface (UI) is now in testing. Whether you’re working with live video or pre-recorded videos, this is the screen you’ll use for video markups.
The UI is pretty simple. You have a video player in the main area of the screen, form buttons on the sidebar, and a video timeline below the video.
Video Player
In addition to the standard video controls, the player also includes a timeline button that toggles how much space is occupied by video compared to the timeline.
Timeline
Each timeline row has a button with its own name and color; if you have five buttons, you’ll have five timeline rows.
At the bottom of the timeline is the zoom control. When zoomed-in, you can use your mouse to scroll and move through the timeline. The zoom feature is helpful when you’re working with longer videos.
Sidebar
The sidebar consists of two tabs:
- Forms: Contain all available buttons that can be used to mark-up the video.
- Moments: Provide you with an interactive summary of marked-up moments.
Each button contains an edit link you can use to change a button’s settings:
- Moment Name
- Lead and Lag Time
- Hotkey (keyboard shortcut)
