Creating a video proof
PageProof makes reviewing video and GIF content simple and precise. When you upload a video or GIF, reviewers can place annotations directly on individual frames using the red-pen tool, and every comment is automatically time-coded so editors know exactly when feedback applies. If your video includes embedded subtitles, these will display in the proof as well – allowing reviewers to check subtitle timing, readability, and accuracy alongside the rest of the content.
To upload your video or GIF file
Step 1
Either drag and drop your file onto the file dropper icon on your dashboard. If your file is larger than 1GB, first upload it to a supported cloud storage provider (Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, or OneDrive), then select it from there.
If you have created your content in Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, or Apple Final Cut Pro, why not download our Adobe or Final Cut Pro plugin and send your proof directly out of those apps. You can also bring the comments back in layered over the timeline.
Step 2
Complete the setup for your proof, including a workflow, a checklist if you’d like, and click send proof.
Your reviewers can securely proof your video and gif content (including subtitles), easily change video speed, quality settings, skip forward and back, move frame-by-frame, and even zoom the proof to get right into the detail before they add their feedback using the red pen tool. Each comment is timecoded for your video editors to quickly and accurately address feedback.
Viewing and checking subtitles
If your video has embedded subtitles, these appear automatically in the video proof.
Reviewers can check:
Spelling and grammar
Subtitle timing
Readability and placement
Alignment with audio or dialogue
If you export or re-encode your video before creating a new version of the proof, make sure subtitles remain embedded so they continue to appear.
Tips
You can span a comment over the video timeline. See how.
You can choose to jump to a specific time of the video by clicking into the time.
You can choose to display the video duration in basic time (minutes:seconds) or SMPTE time-code.
