Collaboration in Reduct

Reduct is built for real-time collaboration, helping teams stay in sync as you work on video or audio projects. Whether you're annotating transcripts, sharing insights, or managing permissions, Reduct offers intuitive tools to reduce friction in your workflow.

Real-time, cloud-based collaboration:

• Instantaneous saving: All edits, highlights, tags, and comments are saved automatically in real-time so your team's work is always up-to-date and synchronized across all users.
• Web-based access: As a cloud-based platform, Reduct allows you and your team to access and work on projects from anywhere, without the need for software installations.

Inviting your teammates to your project

You can quickly invite your teammates to a pre-existing project by entering their names or email addresses. Here’s how:

1. Click the Share button in the top-right corner of your screen.
2. In the Project sharing settings menu that appears,

• Type the names or email addresses of team members already in your organization to invite them to your project.
• Enter email addresses to invite new members to the project.

1. Hit the Invite button.

Managing access

1. Turn on the toggle Anyone with the link can…
2. Choose:

• Can view - others can view recordings and transcripts but cannot leave comments and make highlights.
• Can join and comment - others can highlight and leave comments.

Alternatively, you can also manage project permissions when creating a project.

Commenting and annotations

You can add comments directly to the transcript to annotate specific sections.

Unlike tags, which are used for categorization, these comments are unstructured, offering flexibility in how you provide feedback or notes.

1. Click and drag on the transcript to select the text you want to highlight.
2. On the menu that pops up, either click Comment or hit the c key on your keyboard.
3. Type your comment and hit Post.

Comments appear as speech bubbles next to the transcript. Anyone with access to your project can click them to read what you wrote.

Mentioning your team members in the comments

You can flag key moments by mentioning team members using the ‘@’ symbol in the comments. This notifies them and brings their attention to specific parts of the transcript or video.

Leaving comments in Reels

Commenting in Reels works a bit differently than in the original transcript. Instead of highlighting transcript text, you select a specific section of the Reel to add your comment.

1. Go to the Reels section on the left-hand side of the screen and select the reel you want to add comment to.
2. Click on the three-dot kebab (︙) menunext to the reel you want to add a comment.
3. Select Add reel comment to write your comment and hit Post.

Sharing project with people outside your organization

If you want to share a video or audio recording with people who aren’t part of your organization, you can do so by creating a public, view-only link. This is great for sharing insights, highlights, or presentations with clients or external stakeholders without giving them edit access.

To share a project publicly:

1. Open the project or recording you want to share.
2. Click the Share button in the top right corner of the screen.
3. In the sharing settings, toggle on Anyone with the link can view.
4. Copy the public view-only link that appears.
5. Share the link via email, chat, or embed it in documents or presentations.
