Short answer

How do I add time-coded comments with my AI?

Tell your agent which video to look at and what you noticed. It will find the asset and post a comment at the exact timestamp you mentioned. You'll see the feedback appear on the Frame.io timeline immediately.

Where your notes land.

Direct feedback on the timeline.

The AI handles the technical work of finding the right frame and placing the note.

TIMELINE

Timestamped markers

The AI places your feedback at the exact second you specify. These notes show up directly on the video player for editors to see.

LIBRARY

Asset organization

The AI identifies the correct file from your project. It ensures your comments land on the right version of the video.

CONTEXT

Existing feedback

The AI can pull up previous comments on a clip. This helps you avoid repeating feedback that's already been addressed.

HUMAN

Final review

You decide what to say and when to say it. The AI only acts on the specific instructions you give it in chat.
