Previewing video proofs with streaming playback

Video proofs stream for playback rather than requiring a full download before you can preview them. This article covers previewing a video proof.

Steps

1. Open the video proof from a project or a shared link.
2. Playback starts by streaming the video (HLS) instead of downloading the whole file first, so it can start faster and adapt to your connection.
3. Use the player as normal to scrub, pause, and add comments at specific timestamps.

If a video was just uploaded and hasn't finished encoding yet, see Video proof processing status — playback isn't available until encoding completes.
