About
The extended audio description (EAD) editor lets you review and edit audio description files for your media.
With the editor, you can:
- Refine audio descriptions
- Adjust cue timing
- Preview descriptions during playback
- View EAD segments directly on the player timeline
The editor synchronizes with the player timeline in real time. Changes to cues are reflected immediately in the timeline.
REACH must be enabled on your account, and you must have the required permissions to use these features.
