ProView supports video files with a full-featured review player. When you open a video asset, it loads with playback controls, frame-accurate navigation, annotations, subtitles, multiple audio tracks, safe area guides, and timecode-anchored comments.

Video Player Layout
When you open a video asset in ProView, the interface has four key areas:
  • Top Navigation Bar—controls for navigating back, changing status, toggling Theatre Mode, and accessing asset actions
  • Main Viewer—the central area where the video is displayed
  • Bottom Navigation Bar—playback controls including play/pause, timecode, volume, speed, settings, and fullscreen
  • Right Sidebar—tabs for Comments, Metadata, and Shortcuts

Top Navigation
The top navigation bar runs across the full width of the player and is divided into two sides.

Left Side
  • Back button—navigates back to the asset's location (project or folder), opens in a new tab
  • Asset name—displays the name of the currently open video file

Right Side
  • Live Users—avatars of teammates currently viewing the same asset in real time, with a count for additional viewers (e.g. +2)
  • Status—a dropdown to update the review status of the asset (e.g. Needs Review, Approved). Changes are reflected immediately across the project.
  • Theatre Mode—toggles between Default Mode (sidebar visible) and Theatre Mode (player expands to full width, sidebar hidden). Also accessible via the keyboard shortcut T.
  • More Actions (...)—a menu with additional asset options:
    • Asset Details—view and copy the asset's ID and path, useful for sharing context with teammates or raising support tickets
    • Share Asset—open the share modal to invite collaborators for review, approval, or download
    • Copy Link—copy a direct link to the asset for quick sharing within your team
    • Go Next—jump to the next asset in the current folder
    • Go Previous—jump to the previous asset in the current folder
