How to review a video edit with timestamped comments
By the Usertack Team · June 30, 2026 · 3 min read
Short answer
Review a video edit by letting clients leave comments tied to exact timestamps. A note attached to 0:42 removes all ambiguity about which moment needs a change, which makes video revisions far faster than written timecodes in an email.
The problem with video notes
Video feedback by email is painful: clients type timecodes by hand, you scrub back and forth to find each one, and half the notes are off by a few seconds. It's slow and error-prone for both sides.
Comment on the exact moment
The fix is timestamped comments. The client watches on a review link, pauses, and leaves a note pinned to that exact second. When you open the review, every comment jumps you to the frame it refers to—no hunting for “the bit near the middle.”
A clean video review flow
- Share the cut on a review link—no client account.
- Clients comment at the exact timestamp.
- Action notes frame-accurately, resolving each one.
- Approve the final cut with a certified sign-off.
Usertack keeps video feedback timestamped and tied to the version the client watched, then captures the approval on the same link. The same anchored-comment idea powers reviews for images and decks too.
