Any way to leave comment on a range of frames/video segment in Replay?

I dislike Frame.io but one feature it has that is very useful is to select ranges in review media.

This is especially important when you're picking out segments of an interview to keep because otherwise the reviewer has to write "Keep from here until 05:20".  A lot of extra work.

 

I've looked for the feature as it was mentioned in the onboarding Tutorial but I can't find it for the life of me.  

Has it been included yet or is it just lurking there?

 

Thanks!

  • Hi! Unfortunately its not quite intuitive and I found it by accident. 
    So they def need to make it more obvious this is an option.

    1. Find where you wish to leave a comment in the timeline. 
    2. Make sure you get the blue dot to appear by clicking on/tapping on the comment area
    3. Once you see the blue dot, start by FIRST holding SHIFT down

    4. Then, while holding SHIFT down you can click and drag to get the range you desire:

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Once you have the range you want, finalize your comments and post. It will look like this:

      Thank you very much! That worked...Looks like they copied Frame's bad UI pattern here but hopefully they can improve in the future
