Vague feedback is expensive: "fix the bit near the middle" means a search before it means a fix. In Soontra, comments anchor to the exact place they are about — a second, a spot, a page, or a sentence — so the person reading the note sees precisely what you mean.
There are four anchor types, one for each kind of content.
Video comments pinned to a timestamp
Comment on a video and the note pins to the exact second of playback. "Trim this at 0:42" arrives already attached to 0:42 — clicking the comment takes the player to that moment. The same works for audio files.
Image comments pinned to a spot
On an image, a comment pins to an x/y position — a specific point on the frame. Feedback on a thumbnail lands on the exact element it is about: the title text, the face, the corner that feels off.
PDF comments pinned to a page
PDF comments anchor to the page they belong to. A note about the rate card in a sponsor brief sits on the rate-card page, and the reader lands there when they open it — nobody pages through a forty-page deck hunting for context.
Document comments anchored to text
In documents, comments anchor to a specific line or passage of text. Highlight the exact sentence that needs work and your note attaches to it, the way a margin note would — replies stay threaded on that same passage.
Draw on a frame — Astrono can see it
For the feedback words cannot carry, draw. Pause a video on any frame, or open an image, and use the drawing tools to circle, mark, or sketch directly on it. The drawing is saved with your comment, so the visual note travels with the thread.
Astrono's vision can read these drawings. A marked-up frame is not just a note to your teammates — it is something the assistant can look at and respond to.
All of this happens inside the media editor, and every anchored note behaves like any other comment — threads, reactions, resolving, and mentions all apply, as covered in comments and mentions.
