Use CORE Asset Player to view, update, and collaborate on files you upload into Core. Review, comment, annotate and even create sub clips to help push your assets through your production pipelines.

Reviewing Files in Asset Player
When you select a file, that File opens in the Asset Player (sometimes called the Player or Viewer). For an overview of the navigation features, see:
Annotations Overview
All annotations in CORE must be associated with a comment. So you create your markup, add a comment, and send. The annotation will be posted to the Discussion / comment thread, and all recipients will be notified of your annotation.

To open the annotations menu, select the brush icon in the bottom left corner of the screen.
Menu Options
Line - Draw lines on the image, document, or video frame.
Square - Draw squares and rectangles on the image, document, or video frame.
Circle - Draw circle and oval shapes on the image, document, or video frame.
Freehand - Creates free-form drawing
Arrow - Creates an adjustable arrow
Post Note - Creates an adjustable positional annotation note
Text - Use the Text Comment tool to type text anywhere on the image
Erase - Use the Erase tool to erase any annotated tools on the image
Undo - Undo last function
Redo - Redo last function
Positional & Ranged Annotations
Positional and ranged annotations are fast ways to communicate feedback.

Move the text box out of the way.
Resize the text box as needed.
Ranged
On video files, select an in and out point to make a ranged annotation for a specific clip of a video.
Move the pointer to the area on screen you wish to point out.
Move the text box out of the way.
Resize the text box as needed.
Choose your in and out points.
Select image to zoom.
Commenting Overview
You can comment on a package or file within a package discussion. You can also comment on an asset or asset group, creating a new discussion with your comment.
Comments must be associated with a Discussion or Package, so there are no public comments on a file or set of files.
Comments in Package
In a package, to comment on the entire package or multiple files:
Add your comment to in the Discussion side panel at the bottom
Send.
The comment will be sent to everyone on the package.
In a package, to comment on and individual file:
Select the file you want to comment on.
Add your comment.
Send.
The comment will be sent to everyone on the package.
If the side panel isn’t open for whatever reason,
Select the Discussions icon if it’s not selected.
Select the Discussion you want your to comment to be associated with OR select New Discussion, if this is the first comment in this Discussion. If it’s new, select the discussion recipients.
Then comment on your file.
Send.
Unless a discussion is active, CORE by default prompts you to create new discussion. If you meant to send your comment to an existing thread, just open the side panel to the discussion and then add your comment.
Comment on a File or Asset Group From File Search
If there are Discussions you're already on, select the Discussion in the Discussion Panel to add a new comment for the file or group.
If you want to create a new Discussion / comment thread on a file or asset group:
Add a comment in the comment field below the file.
Create a New Discussion.
Add Recipients.
Send.
Recipients will be notified of your comments and a new Discussion thread is created.
Tagging individual people in comments
CORE allows you to tag individual people in comments by typing @ followed by their name. This will trigger a notification letting them know they were mentioned in a given comment.
When tagging someone in a Package they were not part of, they will be added as viewer for the whole package and they will be able to comment on it.
For more details, see How to Tag Users in Comments.
