PRIVATE NOTES GROUPS & NOTIFICATIONS
- Currently all notes on Netflix Projects are set to Private (only you can see your notes), but PIX has the ability to create Private Notes groups that are a great way to share notes and confidential information amongst a select group of people on your project. Below is a breakdown of how to set this up on your show (*please note that private notes groups are not retroactive, so don’t make notes until your group is set up if you do want to share them!):
-
How to set up Private Notes Groups & Notifications
-
Email PIX Support (support@pixsystem.com) requesting a Private Notes group and Notifications to be set up in your PIX Project. (*please copy your Netflix Post Management Team in for gatekeeper approval)
- Group Name = this is to reference the purpose of the group (ie. Director's Notes or Editorial Notes or Creative Notes, etc.)
- Group Users = Who should be included in the Private Notes group (anyone in this group will be able to see each other's notes)

LIVE REVIEW PIX SESSION
- How to use - PIX Live Review Sessions
- PIX Session is a feature that enables users to review material together in real-time. The live review feature includes tools for synchronized media playback, real-time comments and frame markup, and secure infrastructure to share media.
- Currently, you can participate in a live review session from both the Mac and Windows apps. PLEASE NOTE, REVIEW SESSION ONLY WORKS ON THE CLASSIC (DESKTOP) VERSION OF THE APP.
- To get set up with a PIX Session you will need to ask PIX Support to enable PIX Session on the user sending the session in a given project.
- Once enabled on the project level, you will see the send as PIX Session available in the send drop-down window.
- You will create and share a playlist the usual way, only toggling from Normal Send to PIX Session send in the dropdown.
- Because the media is already on PIX, you can create notes and markup ahead of time, and reference or export the notes from the session after it’s over.
- When you join a session PIX displays a list of everyone you’ve invited to the session and their current status.
- You can export feedback from the session in the Info pane under the Notes tab. Notes can be exported as an Avid Marker List, Final Cut XML, or CSV file.
