Composition-time markers (After Effects) and sequence markers (Adobe Premiere Pro) are included with the movie
as comments, so you can submit questions to reviewers or solicit comments about specific parts of the movie.
Note: When you create a Clip Notes review movie, you can specify FTP settings in the Others tab of the export settings
dialog box to automatically place the PDF file on an FTP server for convenient exchange of files and comments.
When your reviewers open the PDF, they can play the movie and enter comments. Each comment is associated with
a specific time in the movie.
A reviewer then exports the comments to a file and sends the file back to you. When you import the comments, the
reviewer’s comments appear in the comments field of markers placed in the Timeline panel.
To view the PDF, a reviewer must have Adobe Acrobat Standard, Acrobat Professional, or Adobe Reader (version
7.0.5 or later). Adobe Reader is available as a free download from
Note: To keep comments from being associated with the wrong part of a movie, avoid changing the sequence or compo-
sition until you have imported all Clip Notes comments related to it.
Rendering and exporting a movie for Clip Notes comments
You render and export a movie for Clip Notes comments using the render queue in the same way that you render
other kinds of movies, though the export options are more limited than for most formats intended for final output.
Note: You can also use the File > Export menu to add a composition to the render queue to create a movie for Clip Notes
comments.
When you create a Clip Notes review movie, you can specify FTP settings in the Others tab of the export settings
dialog box to automatically place the PDF file on an FTP server for convenient exchange of files and comments.
Before you render and export a composition’s work area for review with Clip Notes, make sure that the work area is
not set to begin at a frame other than the first frame of the composition. When you import Clip Notes comments
into the composition, After Effects assumes that the first frame of the Clip Notes movie matches the first frame of
the composition. If the work area is set to begin at a later frame, then the imported comments will be offset in time.
(See “Set the work area” on page 112.)
