Are you a video editor that has clients or multiple clients? Or you are in a
company that has teams that needs to review your videos but you really don't
have a great way of being able to share the videos and have a one central place
for people to leave comments? My colleague and friend, Gord Isman, and I
are going to share with you a new TechSmith product called video review.
Gord, welcome and why don't you tell everybody really quick about who you are
and we'll get right into the product review and take it away. Thank you Naomi.
It's Gord Iseman here as you mentioned and I am a person that does a lot of
video editing and creating, plus I also educate on YouTube on all things about
video as well as online video marketing and I am an educator for the most part.
And, I coach people on how to succeed in using video. That's why I'm very excited
for us to have this discussion today and you know people can find me on YouTube
at YouTube.com/GordIsman. I'm very excited about this
product. You and I have beta tested it. One central location. It's a lot
easier for people to leave replies and comments and I'm ready to dive in. Are
you ready? Absolutely you can start a 30-day free trial and just test it out,
which is really great. You would just click on your 30-day free trial. Then
just follow the breadcrumbs. Put in your e-mail address. Click next. Just fill in
the information and once you've signed up for it and gone through that process,
you will then come into the dashboard that they use here. Gord let's go over
a couple of the things they have here. Sure, so basically, the goal is to
share a video for review. So, there's two roles and one is called a
Content Owner. And, that would be the person that's set up in the
in the software that's uploading content into the service. So this is a service
that's based in the cloud and then you have Reviewers. And, you can invite
reviewers to review the video and what's very cool is you can have up to 15
people to participate in the review of each video. And, there's a ceiling of 10
10 videos but by the way it's not just videos it can also be JPEG or PNG images.
So, what's cool about this is you know the assets that you would use to go into
for example a video, you can pretty much review. Either it's inside the content in
what you've got created in an .mp4 file, because that's the type that's supported,
or whether it's like a PNG or JPEG. So you know, you can share those, share the
content and invite people to review. Great, let me go ahead and show everyone
how easy it is to load a video and to invite someone. So, all you need to do is
click on the start review and drag the video or the image into the section here
and then you give a title. We'll just call it Test Video. You put a review date
so that your reviewers know by what date that they need to give you feedback.
Let's go ahead and say the 24th. You need to be prompted Gord. Hi Gord, please
review. Let's go ahead and click on next. For demonstration purposes and time for this
tutorial, I have uploaded a highly compressed video. The video in this
tutorial will appear highly pixelated for you;
however, in normal uploading circumstances, you will upload a full,
high-definition video file at standard compression for reviewers to watch and
comment. Then you put in type in the person's e-mail address. Add. Invite up to
15 individuals. Click on invite and it sends out the invite and while you're
waiting for the reviewer, you can look at the video. So, what happens is the e-mail
is now going to go to Gord and Gord is going to share his screen
and show the process of becoming a reviewer and how to be a reviewer. Okay, so
here we are in my e-mail and I got the requests from Naomi. It's from TechSmith.
It's says video review and I need to start it, so click on the start, and I've
got the, Naomi had the version of the light theme. I'm actually looking at it
as the dark theme. We could we could toggle it back and forth between those
two. So now in essence, she's e-mailed me this and I need to look
at her video. So, I'm just gonna I going to make it play for a bit, and you know then decide
what kind of comments or feedback I want to give. So, let's just enter
something in a second. I'm just gonna play for a few seconds first. So, I just
wanted to show playing the video for a bit and now at wherever this point is
in the timeline, I'm gonna, I'm gonna add a comment for a feedback. I'm just gonna
ask first off something as general as this. Should we be doing square video for
this project? So, as you see, I press enter and on the top right now, my comment as a
reviewer appears, and it even says here that it's 16 seconds. That's the exact time
spot on, as you can see on the timeline. And, now it's there for others
and there could be other reviewers and the content owner to give feedback. So,
again, I can enter another one. Let's just say we move the video along to another point and
as you can see now, the point that I had already entered a comment on has a mark
on the timeline here. So, now we're here as we go along and I'm gonna say,
let's say I had something else or more feedback to give. I could add another
comment in relationship to where we are here and just saying...
So, I did a submit. Now you see there's a second comment there with the timestamp
and again, reply, like, or edit. So now I'm gonna pass this back to Naomi and
you're gonna see how the system works because she will have now received
that information. And, you will see that Gord's comments are right here. So, if I
wanted to reply to his comment, I can just add a reply here and say, "Yes, this
is for Facebook and Instagram," and then Submit.
Now when Gord put in his comments and when I reply, we'll receive e-mail
notifications that there's a reply. And, then I might go ahead and reply here
and say, "Good point," and this would be an example of a reviewer could make
suggestions and we could say yes or no and give several feedback. As a team,
you're having a lot of feedback and that will give you, as a video editor,
sufficient information of where you have to make the edits and only have to do it
once, and not have to keep making, oh this little edit, and this little edit, etc. The
other thing here, if I wanted to, add a comment right here, let's move it over a
little. Let's say, it doesn't matter what it says. I just wanting to demonstrate
that what you can do here, they have a draw, so I can also say that I want to
point this out, so that it stands out when I am giving my feedback. And then go
ahead and submit this. And, you can do use any of these draw tools that you
would want. I'm just showing it here. Okay, it's not doing for some reason.
Oh, there's arrow already up there. Oh it's already up there. Yeah, you just have to move it around.
Okay, and then all I have to do is go ahead and click on submit.
Let me pass it back off to you Gord. Okay, so now we'll go in and take a
look and see what additional e-mail I got. So, Naomi did two updates and so
the first one she did was, "Yes this is for Facebook and Instagram," and the
second e-mail I got she said, "Good point." So, I can just go in for either one and see
here also that what's cool is the full, full comment detail is here in the time
reference point. So, I'm going to click visit now and it brings me back into the
application, video review application, and just to show you I could go straight
to the point that she had, or I can actually go to any point on the timeline
where the information is. And, I'm doing it by bouncing on the timeline by
pressing on the timeline or you have this nice left and right arrow mechanism
that goes strictly to the points where review details or comments have been put.
So, in the last one, she put on those nice drawing points and you see right here, no
matter what point we're, on it highlights the appropriate comment area to focus on.
So now, I'm on the last one it says, three of three, "Should we keep, keep the text
the text up here or change to an icon? And I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, (typing)
(typing) and I click enter, and so as you can see again, my comment is now, my reply is nested inside this
particular time point at 45 seconds on the timeline. Okay, it is a really
simple and easy way for people to work as a team and not have to keep doing
e-mails back and forth, and not actually seeing the video as the other person is
seeing it. With those timestamps, you're able to know exactly the point that the
reviewer is speaking about in making the changes. Yeah, I was just gonna add one
other thing and that is what I like about the possibilities
here is that you're not also dealing with having to upload continuously
upload changed versions of your video file into something like Dropbox or
Google Drive, or whatever space, so that you're going to work with to share the
video because that's what you're doing here is you're utilizing a
service. That has the video it's in one place and there's gonna be just the core
version of that you're currently editing and working on for review. So,
it just eliminates a lot of risks with people going astray with getting
versions out of whack in terms of what they may have e-mailed or stored on those
other kinds of cloud service drives. I'll pass back to you now Naomi. Okay, thank you. Okay,
one thing I wanted to show. Okay, I'm going to change this back because I
don't like the dark. So, what you can see here is there are also, if you can see
all of the reviews and this just puts every type of review, the review that
you might have uploaded, or if you're reviewing for somebody else. Under the
my reviews, these are only the videos that you have uploaded and are asking
for reviewers. Or you can look at the Shared With Me and these are, will be the
all the videos that have been shared with you that you're responsible or have been
asked to review. Now the one thing that you will notice is that you cannot if
someone has shared a video with you to review, you cannot delete it. The only
person that can delete it, is the Content Owner. So, if you wanted to, once
everything has been reviewed, and you no longer need the video up there, or you've
reached your ten videos allowed in the area, you can click on the options here
and simply delete or export your comments. So, it would be a good idea to
go ahead and export your comments, so that you have a record of everything
that was said about the video before the final version.
And then you can go ahead and delete. And then when you click on delete review, you can
say download review data and just tell it where you would like to save the file.
And I'll just say desktop for right now and then you can delete the file. Very
simple platform. Doesn't make it complex and will make it very easy for anybody
to use. You know like a very common model now that's used for companies
because they outsource a lot of the editing. You know they have a client that
that needs to be able to see the video if they if the editors or somebody runs
into trouble and they need some feedback. So, it's nice, conveniently shared in one
place by through the review process and we happen to work with the one that's
already stored there. That's a huge time saver in terms of execution as well.
I have this, exactly what you're speaking of, I have a client in Costa Rica that I
edit the her videos for and many times with the other system that we were using, she
would have to e-mail me and say at 2:21 please do this, at 3:22 do this. At 4:12,
please do this. And this way, by using This, we'll be able to communicate. I'll
be able to look at exactly the points on the video that she wants me to change or
adjust. What I think is interesting is that when I would do this before,
I would do an online screen share session with someone. For example if I
needed immediate feedback but they're they're in there oftentimes, I'm inside
the editor with all the noise of all the other stuff going on there. So, this is
intentionally not an edit environment. It's meant just for reviews, so it cuts out
all that distraction and I think you know that makes it cleaner and easier
for the reviewer who's typically not technical and doesn't want to look at
stuff like that. That's a very valid point because there's a lot of individuals out
there that are technologically challenged and this is just so much
easier of watching the video, put your cursor right here where you want it to
stop, and put a comment. Watch the video, put your cursor right here,
leave a comment. Yep, exactly full audit trail of the comments and feedback so
you know, if someone had to scrutinize how did we end up here? Right, I hope everybody
enjoyed our review of the TechSmith Video Review Service. I hope that you go
ahead and check it out and check out 30-day trial. Gord and I just love
TechSmith products and services. So, we'll leave the link in the description below
and if you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment below. Until we meet
again, have a wonderful day!
