Review Links
Review Links are an easy way to send files to clients and collaborators for asynchronous feedback. Text and annotations can be added as comments to video, audio and images at specific timestamps for frame-accurate feedback.
A full list of comments and timeline markers can be downloaded at the end of the review period, for easy implementation.

Viewing and Commenting on Files in a Review Link
- A Review Link will first open on the overview page, displaying all the files in the link. Click the file you'd like to view. If there is only one file, that file will open automatically.
- You can play the file, and when you’re ready to add a comment, you can either pause playback or click on the Comments box and playback with pause automatically.
- Type your comment and click “Post” to save it.
- You can also select the paintbrush tool in the bottom tool bar, pick a color and draw on screen.
- Click “Post” to save this drawing as a timestamped comment. You can also combine text and drawing in the same comment.
- Comments can be replied to in-thread, or marked as complete.
- A full list of comments can be downloaded in the format of your choice at any time by clicking the
Download Comments
button in the Comments panel. - You can select an alternative file to view in the Sources drop-down menu below the viewer.
- Or click on “Back to all files” to return to the overview page to see all files in the link.
The comments applied to a file in a Review Link, Presentation Room or Livestream Room will be attached to the file itself and will be visible wherever that file is accessible. This means that comments applied to a file in a Presentation Room, for example, will be visible in any of the Review Links that contain that file. Opening the file within the Louper Dashboard will also open any comments attached to that file.
