Session Notes

Write rich-text coaching notes linked to video timestamps, private to you.

Session Notes is a rich text editor for coaching observations, linked to video timestamps.

Session Notes vs Video Description. Session Notes are private, rich text, and cover the whole session. If you instead want a short, plain-text caption for a single video that is shown to people you share it with, use Video Description in Review Mode.

Opening Session Notes

Click the notes icon in the sidebar, or press Ctrl+2.

Writing Notes

Click in the notes area and type. The toolbar provides basic formatting:

  • Bold, italic, underline
  • Bullet lists and numbered lists
  • Headings

Tip: Keep notes concise — a short phrase at a timestamp is more useful than long paragraphs with no video reference.

Inserting Timestamps

A timestamp links a note to a specific point in your video.

  1. Start playing a video in Review Mode.
  2. When you reach the moment you want to reference, switch to Session Notes.
  3. Click the clock icon in the toolbar, or press Ctrl+T.
  4. A timestamp is inserted at the cursor. It shows the video position (e.g. [00:02:34]).

Click any timestamp later to jump the video to that exact moment.

Tip: You can also insert a quick note directly from Review Mode using Ctrl+N without leaving the video view.

Pasting Images

Paste a screenshot or photo directly into the notes with Ctrl+V. Images are embedded in the note and saved with it. You can also drag an image file in from Explorer.

Multiple Drivers

If a day has more than one driver, tabs appear at the top of Session Notes — one per driver. Each driver's notes are separate.

Exporting Notes

Notes are included automatically in Session Reports. To export just the notes as plain text, use File → Export Session Notes.
