OOKMARKS

A bookmark is basically a comment to an event. It is created much the same way as an exported video clip.

The creating of bookmarks is started by adding cameras to the media export area.

After adding all the desired cameras, user can fine tune the start and end time and then click on the “set bookmark” button. This will open a dialog where user can write the bookmark title and description.

It is also possible to share bookmark to other users. Pressing save will save the bookmark.

After closing the export view, the bookmark is displayed on the time slider with an orange bar, with the bookmark “flag” in the beginning of the bookmark.

The title is written on top of the orange bar. More information appears on the tooltip by taking mouse over the bookmark.

Clicking on the bookmark with left mouse button will zoom the time slider to the bookmark, and clicking with right button will open a menu where the bookmark can be opened directly.

If there are multiple bookmarks displayed very close to each other, then the bookmarks are grouped. This is indicated by an additional field in the flag with a number that tells how many bookmarks there are grouped together. The mouseover tooltip will show a list of these bookmarks and also the right click menu can be used to open each of them.
