Annotate Video Online
A video annotator lets you draw and mark up a specific video frame, then pin that markup to the timestamp. Unlike a text-only comment, annotations show exactly where on screen something needs to change. Kreatli’s annotator is for review feedback, not burning graphics into an export.

What is a video annotator?
A video annotator lets you draw and mark up a specific video frame, then pin that markup to the timestamp. Unlike a text-only comment, annotations show exactly where on screen something needs to change. Kreatli’s annotator is for review feedback, not burning graphics into an export.
When teams use this
- A designer circles a product that sits under a burned-in caption.
- An editor arrows a bad crop on a talking-head frame.
- A client sketches where a disclaimer should sit before export.
Annotations stay with the review thread; they are not an After Effects graphic layer. Use video markup when you specifically searched “markup,” and the platform annotation page for team projects.
