access the exact second of footage you want. Video can be
bookmarked, annotated, cited, linked to, put into playlists or folders,
and shared—with permanent URLs. Create custom clips and embed them
wherever you like. Critical Video Editions makes video more
useful and functional for scholarship than ever before.
