Playing Reviews in the Review Player

July 9, 2026

Finding something to watch

For most studio users, the Screening Room is the way in — the most relevant content surfaces here automatically. Anything new, or that you recently left off, shows up without you going looking for it. You can also curate the space with Watchlists, lining up reviews to watch later.

Anything that still needs your attention also appears in Focus.

You can open the player from anywhere a review appears — Screening Room, Focus and All Reviews.

Opening a review

1. Open Screening Room from the sidebar.

2. New arrivals appear in the New row; anything you've started is under Continue Watching.

3. Click a review to start playing.

In the player

Playback controls

Play/Pause and frame forward/back sit at the bottom left. You can also use the keyboard: Spacebar plays and pauses, and the arrow keys jog a frame at a time.

General navigation

The current clip or shot name shows in the footer. The forward and back buttons either side of it step through the content.

• Click and drag on the progress bar to scrub.
• Click the timecode to switch between Timecode (SMPTE frame count) and Time (elapsed real time).

Player controls

The footer also holds:

• Mute — toggles audio on and off.
• Fullscreen — expands the player to fill the screen.
• Playback speed — opens a menu to speed up playback: 1× (default), 1.25×, 1.5× or 2×.
• View settings (slider icon) — chooses how the review streams (picture quality and format). See Get the best playback.

The on-screen watermark is part of your production's security settings and can't be turned off in the player.

Navigating dailies and cuts

Dailies navigation

Dailies open in a browsing mode with shot-level navigation shown by default: a sideways-scrolling bar displaying every shot in the reel.

You can order and filter this view:

• Order by script or shoot order.
• Filter by camera, on a multi-camera shoot.
• Filter to circle takes only, where circle take information is available.

To hide the bar, click Hide Shots at the bottom left.

Cuts navigation

Cuts open with scene-level navigation closed by default. Click Show Scenes at the bottom left to open it.

If scene-level navigation isn't available, the content was likely uploaded without timeline information.

If playback doesn't look or feel right, see Get the best playback.
