Dropbox Replay: "Show pencil when hovering over file" when disabled, make it default for everyone
I'm using the Dropbox trial to see if I can switch from Onedrive and Frame.io to Dropbox and Replay. I did a few tests with a different account and I disabled "Show pencil when hovering over file" but people that view the video still have the pencil when trying to play the video. For me this a potential deal-breaker because I know clients will start drawing random stuff when they actually want to play the video and they will get annoyed. I've been using frame.io almost since it was launched and I think only 1 or 2 clients ever used the pencil to draw something. All of them just leave comments, don't know why the drawing is such front and center. Can we just have it disabled for everyone when selected? Also I have the Essentials trial and I see I can only use 10 videos in Replay with no option for password protection, that's really stingy. I need to get the addon to use more videos and have all the features. Doing a simple math, this comes out way more expensive than Onedrive + Frame. As a solo entrepreneur, it might not be worth it in the end. Need to think about it.
How do I get Dropbox Replay to "Match Sequence Preview Settings" when I export content?
Hey team! Please help! Introducing Dropbox Replay to my workplace, but need to figure out a kink before we can commit to payment. I use Premier Pro with Dropbox Replay. When I share videos to Replay, the export appears blown out. When exporting without Replay, I usually fix this problem by using the drop down menus to select "Match Sequence Preview Settings". I'm having trouble finding the same settings in Replay. Can someone please help me out? Worth noting that I while I am comfortable editing videos in general, when it comes to exporting I literally use "Match Sequence Preview Settings" every single time (plus edit the video knowing its desaturated compared to the eventual export) because I don't understand these settings at all. Thank you!
