Writing Annotations on a Video Asset

You can add annotations to a video asset. In the Annotations window, you can view a
video clip and then add text at different points in the video clip. Because the annotations
stay with the clip asset in Final Cut Server, annotations are useful for making notes for
yourself or others in your workgroup. You can easily view these annotations in
Final Cut Server. They stay with the asset until you manually clear the annotation.
