The ability to review and edit video at the same time also required us to change our behavior when it comes to highlighting the text that corresponds to currently playing video.  In our initial design, you could not edit the notes while you were in review mode.  Clicking on text would cause the video to jump to the point that was recorded when the text was typed.  In our new design, if a user clicks text it might be to edit OR to jump to a point in the video.  We decided that if the video is currently playing, clicking on text would only move the cursor.  If the video is not playing, clicking text would both move the cursor and jump to the appropriate point in the video.

Our second testing user expressed quite a bit of interest in the design - in fact he said that he has developed similar software himself.  His general reaction was that the interface was fairly intuitive, and he expressed that the behavior was consistent with basically every other text editor he had used.  After the test he expressed that it was a good interface, and he was really happy that he could change playback speeds when reviewing video.  His one gripe was that inserting snapshots popped up a window to crop it right away - he would have preferred inserting it immediately and optionally going back to crop it later.
