The practical workflow
This is written for real creators, editors, clients, and reviewers who need less confusion, not another theory-heavy production manual.
Comment where the issue happens
Pause on the moment, then write the note while the context is visible.
Name the type of change
Call out whether the note is about pacing, audio, captions, color, transition, b-roll, story, or compliance.
Explain the why
A useful comment says what to change and why it matters to the viewer.
Add references only when helpful
References should clarify taste or direction, not create a second pile of unexplained assets.
Avoid duplicate notes
If the same issue happens repeatedly, write one pattern note and mention the range.
Close the loop
After the next export, check whether the timestamped note was resolved or still needs work.
Common mistakes to avoid
Timestamp without direction
A timestamp plus fix this still leaves the editor guessing.
Over-commenting every second
Too many tiny notes can hide the handful of changes that actually matter.
No decision status
Use comments as a workflow, not a graveyard. Resolved, unresolved, and changed-scope notes should be clear.
How PithPlay helps
PithPlay is built around frame-aware feedback so comments can become editor-ready actions instead of disconnected opinions.
