01 / THE WORKFLOWHow it works ↓

Workflow

Find, review, export

Search the archive, compare cameras, and add the cut to the export queue in one session.

01

Find the recording

Search by name, date, time, or starting timecode. Load only the files you need to review.

Review the angles

Link cameras for shared playback. Line them up by timecode when the recordings support it, then jog frame by frame to check the action.

MULTIVIEW

03

Export the cut

Set IN and OUT for one camera or add a linked cut. A linked cut creates a separate file for each included camera.

Camera grid, shared timeline, and cut controls in Direct Play

01 / MULTIVIEW

Linked cameras follow the same master position.

Timecode alignment

Line up cameras that started at different times

When linked recordings have overlapping time-of-day timecode, Direct Play places each camera at its recorded start time on the master timeline. A linked IN/OUT range then covers the same moment in each exported file.

Read about timecode alignment ↗

Two camera tracks aligned by timecode, with one camera starting later — Camera 2 started later and appears later on the shared timeline.

Optional AI search

Search footage by description

With a configured AI search service, enter a description such as "basketball player near the basket." Direct Play returns candidate moments in the archive or adds marks to loaded recordings. Review each match before setting IN and OUT.

Desktop and browser

Control the workstation from a browser

Direct Play reads and exports media on the Windows workstation. The web dashboard connects to the running app and shares its sources, playback state, and export queue. Teams can also build their own controls with the REST API.

Practical details

Common questions

Direct Play uses files the Windows workstation can access. The app must be running for browser control.

Does a linked cut make one combined video?

No. It creates a separate output file for each linked source that has a valid range.

Do recordings need timecode?

No. You can play several cameras without timecode. To line them up by clock time, every linked file needs time-of-day timecode and overlapping recording times.

Is AI search required to use the archive?

No. Name, date, and starting timecode search work without it. Description-based search needs a configured AI search service.

Can the dashboard run without Direct Play on the workstation?

No. The Windows app must be running. It reads the files and writes the exports; the dashboard controls that session.
