What does it mean to annotate video?

Video annotation involves the process of adding contextual information, comments, and insights directly onto a video timeline. This facilitates a more detailed analysis of the video’s content, enabling users to highlight key moments, provide explanations, and initiate discussions around specific sections.

Why annotate video?

Human beings are naturally inclined towards visual information. Our brains process images and videos faster than text, making video annotation a powerful tool for knowledge retention and comprehension. It allows for a more engaging and interactive learning or communication experience.
