PRIME POCUS · Media Editor

Make the finding obvious.

Colorize the structure, label it, crop away the machine’s banner, lift a dark sector, and keep only the seconds that matter. One file at a time, in your browser — the file never leaves this device and the original is never overwritten unless you say so.

Runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you open is uploaded or stored.

Available editing tools

Every example below is a real file this editor wrote — not a drawing of what it would do. Drag the handle to compare.

Colorize a portion of an image or a moving clip

Wash a structure in colour to say this is the thing without covering it up. The region can be tracked frame by frame, so the colour stays on the finding while the finding moves.

What changed

The kidney is filled rather than circled, and on the loop the free fluid above the liver is filled while it changes shape with respiration — the region was drawn on a few frames and interpolated across the rest.

  • Opacity and colour are yours to set; the default sits light enough to keep the texture underneath readable.
  • The outline is the same one a hotspot question would score against — draw it once, use it twice.
  • Colorized media exports as ordinary pixels, so it plays anywhere.

These are files the media editor wrote, not an overlay drawn on top of an untouched clip. What you see here is what a learner would open.

Annotate a still, a clip, or one key frame of a clip

Arrows, freehand, shapes, text and measurement marks. Draw on a single frame, or carry a mark across the loop so it stays on the structure it is pointing at.

What changed

Seven labels on a beating parasternal long axis — septum, left ventricle, mitral valve, aortic valve, RV outflow, left atrium, descending aorta — turn a view a learner has to be taught into one they can read while it moves. On the still, an arrow to the Nexplanon rod and another to its posterior shadow say why the bright line matters.

  • On a still — draw once, done.
  • On a key frame — freeze the frame worth explaining and annotate only that one.
  • Across a clip — set the mark on a few frames and it is interpolated between them.

Both sides of the clip comparison are the same recording with and without its marks, playing in step — so what the handle reveals is the annotation and nothing else.

Crop, adjust brightness and contrast, trim the clip

The housekeeping that makes a teaching file look deliberate: cut the machine's banner away, lift a dark sector, and keep only the seconds that show the finding.

What changed

The header strip and the machine's soft-key bar are gone, along with the acquisition date sitting in the top corner — which is also one fewer identifier to worry about.

Open one clip

Drop in an image or a loop and start editing. Hidden metadata is stripped on the way in, and a file you tell it contains PHI is sent to Media Prep instead.
