Comments on the stage
Figma-style notes: point anywhere or mark an area, pinned to a moment, then edit, reply and resolve.
Comments work like in Figma: move the pointer anywhere on the stage, click to drop a pin or drag to mark an area, and write what you see. Every comment remembers the moment in the animation, so you can review motion frame by frame. They're saved with the session and never mixed into the AI chat, until you ask the AI to address them.
Add a comment
- Press ⌥⌘C, click Comment in the toolbar or the Comments tab, or choose Stage → Comment Mode. The pointer turns into a speech bubble.
- Click to pin a spot, or drag to mark a rectangle. Playback pauses on that moment.
- Type in the composer that opens at the pin (Add a comment) and click Post (⌘↩). Cancel or esc closes it.
- Press ⌥⌘C again, or click Comment, to leave comment mode.
Pins and areas are stored relative to the canvas, so they stay on the same spot when you change the canvas size. A comment can be up to 2,000 characters.
Read, edit and reply
| In the thread | What it does |
|---|---|
#3 and the time chip | The comment's number and moment (the chip is marked when the comment is an area) |
| ✓ | Resolve (or reopen). A resolved comment says Resolved |
| Pencil | Edit your own comment or reply; Save (⌘↩) or Cancel |
| ⋯ | Edit (your own), Copy Text, Delete Comment |
| EaseKit AI | A reply written by the AI, with an AI label; Addressed means it made the change and you resolve it after checking |
| Trash on a reply | Delete Reply (your own) |
| Reply field | Answer; send with ⌘↩ or the arrow |
- Comments show as small numbered pins. Hover one to see its area.
- Edited comments and replies say edited.
- Adding, editing, resolving, replying and deleting are undoable with ⌘Z.
- Your name comes from Settings → General → Comments → Name on comments (empty uses your Mac user name). “Your own” comments are the ones with that name.
When comments are visible
| Situation | What shows |
|---|---|
| Comment mode on | Every open comment, at any moment |
| View → Show Comments on | Every open comment, at any moment |
| Otherwise | A comment shows within half a second of its moment |
Resolved comments hide from the stage but stay in the Comments tab.
The Comments tab
The Comments tab appears in the inspector once the session has comments or a share link (or the comment tool is on). It lists your stage comments together with comments from your share links, open ones first, each group in timeline order, with a count like “3 open comments”. Filter by All, Open or Resolved; EaseKit remembers the filter.
- Click a comment (or its time chip) to jump to its moment: a stage comment opens its thread, a share comment flashes its pin or area.
- Resolve / Reopen, Reply (or “2 replies”) and the trash work right from the row.
Troubleshooting
| If this happens | Try this |
|---|---|
| ⌥⌘C doesn't start comment mode | Open an animation first: comment mode needs something on the stage. |
| A pin disappeared | It shows only near its moment. Turn on View → Show Comments, or check Resolved in the Comments tab. |
| The pencil is missing | You can only edit comments written under your current name. |
