Everything you need to get the most out of Timelinely.

Video Editor

Publishing makes your annotated video shareable via a unique link. Before publishing, your video is only visible to you in your dashboard. Once published, anyone with the link can view your video and its annotations.

The yellow lines on the timeline represent the start and end points of your annotations. They mark when each annotation appears and disappears during video playback, helping you fine-tune the timing of your content.

Images uploaded as annotations can be up to 5 MB. Supported formats include JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP. Images are automatically optimized for fast loading.

Webcam recordings for annotations can be up to 2 minutes long. This applies to both audio-only and video recordings added as annotations.
