Versions
A review holds every version of the work. Each version keeps its own notes, and you can compare any two.
Add a version #
A new cut goes on the same review as the next version, so its notes stay beside the old ones.
- Open the review and click Add version in its header.
- Pick the new file. It imports as the next version, v2, v3 and on.
- Switch versions from the menu beside the title. Each version keeps its own notes.
Other ways in
- Drop it on the review
- Drag the file onto an open review and it asks to add it as the next version.
- Drop it on the project
- Adding a file with the same name as a review asks whether to make it that review's next version, keep both, or skip it.
A new version sets the status back to Awaiting review, and everyone else who has opened the review sees it in their Needs you list.
Compare two versionsTeam #
Look at two versions of a video or image side by side, or one over the other, on one clock.
- Open the review and click Compare in its header.
- Pick the version to compare with from the chips. The bar starts with the version on screen, as in v3 with.
- Pick how to look: Flip, Wipe, Side by side or Blend.
- Play or scrub as usual. Both versions follow the same playhead.
The four ways
- Flip
- One version at a time. Click Flip again to see the other in its place, and once more to come back.
- Wipe
- A line you drag across the picture, upright or across.
- Side by side
- Both pictures, the same frame.
- Blend
- The other version over this one, as see-through as you set it.
If the new cut changed length, the offset buttons move the other version a frame at a time to line a moment up. Swap makes the other version the one on screen, and Close stops comparing. Notes stay on the version on screen.
A 3D review has its own Compare in the viewer: the other version shows as a see-through ghost over this one, and it comes with the free app.
