Exporting for logging
Hey Folks,
There is a feature that allows you to export a sequence and then people can view it on some other program, make comments at various points in the clip. When the video is brought back in, it has tags at the various points with the comments in them.
What is this feature called and where is it in CS5?
Cheers,
Sterling

It’s called ‘CS Review’, and it’s part of the Acrobat service.

So this replaces Clip Notes from CS4?

Of course, they removed Clip Notes, which was included and replaced it with something you have to pay for. That’s a bit irritating to me. I’ll do some testing on CS4, but your last comment leads me to believe it isn’t that functional.

On the contrary, it’s VERY functional. I’m uploading clips as we speak for several clients to review.
Once it’s set up it’s really a one or 2 click process to encode a video and upload it to the review site. My only complaint is that anyone who visits the site to review the videos must set up an Adobe ID. It’s free, but somewhat of a hassle for my clients, and sometimes prohibited by company policy.

I understood that you think CS Review is functional. I thought you were implying that CS4’s Clip Notes aren’t.

Oh, gotcha. No, Clip Notes never worked at all for me, and quite a few others.

Steve,
Thanks for your help and thoughts.
I haven’t been able to find pricing for CS Review. Adobe probably won’t tell me the bad news until my trial period ends.
I’ve spent the last few hours playing with Clip Notes. It seems to work, but there’s some permissions issue that makes me have to open the file twice to start adding comments in the PDF. Not sure my clients will go for that. I’ll keep testing.
Cheers,

According to this page CS review is free till next year (April 12th.) I suspect, if you keep on the upgrade path, they’ll keep throwing in the cost of – but at very least you have a year!

I was under the impression that with the purchase of CS5 you received a year of (limited)CS Review free. The limited version didn’t work for my volume, so I went ahead and paid for an upgrade. I’m rapidly getting to the point where I wouldn’t want to be without it.
