Media Logging

• During playback, administrators or logging teams can click or tap away on a grid of customisable keywords, emojis, chapters, phrases and participants to generate rich, searchable metadata which will be displayed and synchronised alongside the video as annotations.

Collections improvements

• Several improvements to the user interface for user-generated collections.
