Logging in to Goviso brings you the Dashboard. The Dashboard is the central hub from which you can access your private account settings, launch the View & Approval application Goviso.Screen, and the archive and project manager Goviso.Exchange.

The Dashboard is divided into two sections:

Goviso is a collaborative environment. When one ore more users are logged in to the same Screening Room, the user panel opens automatically to show you who is present. Play control is synchronized by default, so you will always see the same clip at the same position as everyone else.

When you login for the first time, the welcome panel appears to allow you quick access to the audio and video conferencing features. If there are other users present, you can click the corresponding buttons directly in the welcome panel to begin conferencing. These options are also available to enable and disable any time at the bottom of the Users panel.

The Screening Room is the heart of Goviso - it is the main application for collaborative review and approval of media.

By default, the Screening Room starts in 'basic' mode, with playback features described below:

1. Play Button
2. Stop Button
3. Current Track - Click to select from a list of all the tracks in the Project
4. Timeline
5. Playhead - Click and drag the playhead to scrub the video
6. Note Cue Point - Indicates there is a Note at this point in the timeline
7. Drawing Tool Button - Click to choose drawing options from a list
8. Volume Button
9. Screen Mode Button - Click to choose the screen mode from a list (Stretch/Original/Fit/Double)
10. Full Screen Button - Click to enter full screen mode

The Screening Room allows you to annotate videos and images with both text and with drawings directly on the visual area. These Notes are stored in your project for others to read at a later time.

See the Notes section for full instructions

Goviso supports most major video formats and JPEG images. Videos you upload are encoded to a flash-compatible format before they are viewable in the Screening Room. Alternatively, to save on encoding time videos can be pre-encoded with software on your local machine before uploading.

See Adding Assets for full instructions

The Screening Room's advanced functions are organized in Panels. The Panels can be opened and closed with the buttons in the bottom left corner.

From the Dashboard you can launch Goviso.Exchange to add assets and users to your project. To use Goviso.Exchange for a Project you must be granted permission by one of the Project's administrators, or be an administrator yourself.
