What is video markup?

Video markup is visual feedback on the picture at a specific time—drawings, shapes, arrows, highlights, and pinned comments tied to exact frames and timestamps. In Kreatli, video markup stays linked to the frame so editors and clients mean the same moment and region, not “somewhere around two minutes.”

How does frame-accurate video markup work in Kreatli?

Click the frame where you want to leave feedback and add markup or a note. Your marks stay attached to that frame and timecode so playback shows them at the right moment. Editors can jump straight to each mark and track what is resolved across versions.

What types of video markup can I add?

You can combine frame-accurate comments with freehand drawing, shapes, arrows, and color-coded feedback. Multiple reviewers can contribute with clear attribution, and you can filter or resolve items as new cuts arrive.

Can multiple team members markup the same video?

Yes. Multiple reviewers can markup the same video with real-time visibility, color coding, and timeline organization—ideal for directors, producers, editors, and clients in one review.

How do I track which markup has been addressed?

Mark feedback resolved or open, filter to unfinished work, and align markup with the version it was created on so nothing is misread after a new upload.

Can clients markup video without creating an account?

Yes. Secure guest links let clients watch, add frame-accurate markup, and reply without signing up—reducing friction in approvals.

How is video markup different from comments alone?

Comments describe intent; markup shows exactly where on the frame. Together they remove ambiguity for color, graphics, framing, and picture fixes.

What video formats support markup in Kreatli?

Common professional formats including MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, and more, across resolutions and frame rates supported by the platform player.

How does video markup help production workflows?

Markup turns vague notes into actionable, visual direction. Editors scrub to the exact frame, see the mark, and close items as revisions land—fewer rounds and less back-and-forth.
