Annotation Sets

AVAnnotate allows users to organize their annotations for AV files via different “sets” such as one set for Transcripts and another for Notes; or one annotation set in English and another in Spanish. In other words, a single AV file can have multiple groups of annotations. Annotation sets are groups of annotations for a single AVAnnotate event.

Creating and Modifying Annotation Sets

  • Annotations can be added to the ‘Default’ set or to a newly created set through Event settings. The ‘Default’ set can be renamed but cannot be deleted.

  • Annotation sets can be added manually, via a IIIF manifest, or imported via a separate spreadsheet or .VTT file (Web Video Text Track file).

  • Annotation sets can be set as captions on a video file (note: this does not work for YouTube, which has its own captioning system) by selecting the settings of an annotation set in the Event settings.

Annotations can be customized to appear during the corresponding time in the event. image 2

Annotation sets for an event can be imported seperately by selecting a spreadsheet file. image 2
