SnapStream Advanced: Time-coded Tags

Time-coded tags reference specific moments during a recording. Using time-coded tags, you can identify and tag visual cues, non-verbal content and other important information that might not show up in the closed captioning or program guide data of your recording. Time-coded tags can be helpful in identifying and reviewing similar moments from different recordings.

Need to find each time a character makes a silly face? A time-coded tag called “silly face” would help you catalog and search on these specific moments in your library. It’s simple to create and search for time-coded tags in SnapStream. Find out how below:

1. To create a time-coded tag, right-click (Ctrl+Click on a Mac) in the playback bar or click the

2. Choose an existing tag from the dropdown menu or type a new tag. Click “Add” to finalize the tagging.

3. Time-coded tags are visible in the progress bar as a tag icon and blue line. Click on any tag to take you to the moment tagged.
