Annotations (hotspots) à la Youtube?

[antwake]

Hi there

Searched in the forum about it but couldnt find anything.

My client would like to add annotations on their videos. 

I read somewhere that you dont have an online editing tool so I guess you wont provide this functionality anytime soon?

thanks

Hi Antwake,

This isn't something we have out of the box, but this isn't to say you couldn't implement this on your own.  We offer an array of APIs and "openness" to our players.  I could see using our cuepoints API along with a JS or AS plugin to create your annotations.

For example, you could trigger an annotation at the 10 second mark (cue point).
