Notes & drawing

Press N to pin a note to the current frame. Jump between notes with Shift + ← / Shift + →. Navigation is frame-accurate: a note on frame 739 lands on frame 739. Show note positions as timecode or frame numbers (the list follows the player’s TC/Frames mode) and filter by a timecode range. Detected shots appear in the same list as cards, sorted by timeline position alongside notes and takes.

Notes and takes appear as cards in a panel shared with the full app and the canvas. For the full card workflow (takes, marking done, editing, Frame.io import) see Notes & markers.

Notes live next to the footage at …/ReelMarkr_data/Markers/<clip>.markers.json, so the full app and the canvas read the same notes.

Put a plain .txt file with the same name as the clip next to it, one chapter per line in YouTube style (00:00 Cold open, 8:16 The chase, 1:02:33 Finale). The Player reads it live as light-blue, read-only chapter markers in the notes view and on the timeline. Edit the file and the chapters update. Nothing is written into your notes.

Use it when: reviewing a long cut you need to jump through section by section.

Draw on the picture with pen, colors, and width. Your marks attach to the frame/note.

Press G to toggle composition / safe-area guides over the picture.
