Capture — Embedded Markup Media

Images and video can be embedded in a markup directly from a built-in or attached camera.

To embed an image or video from the Camera tool:

1. Select the markup in which the image or video is to be embedded.
2. Go to Markup > Camera. The camera preview window opens.

   • Alternatively, press ⌘+⌥+I or CTRL-click the markup in which the image is to be embedded and go to Capture > From Camera.

   

3. Select Photo (for an embedded image) or Video (for an embedded video) from the Media Type menu in the lower-left corner of the camera preview window.
4. Click the Shutter (for Photo) or Lens (for Video) icon to capture the media.
5. To embed the captured media, click Use. The media is automatically embedded in the selected markup.
   • To discard the media and capture it again, click Retake.
   • Media embedded directly from the Camera tool automatically take the name of the markup's Subject, followed by a number as needed (for example, "Cracked Tile," then "Cracked Tile - 2," then "Cracked Tile - 3" and so on).
6. To review images embedded in a markup, click the embedded media icon just below the markup or in the Capture column of the Markups list.

See Working with Embedded Media for more information about reviewing, adding, deleting or exporting embedded media.

Note: Embedded images can only be viewed in Vu, Revu Windows 12 or higher, or Revu Mac. Embedded video can only be viewed in Vu, Revu Windows 2015 or higher, or Revu Mac. When PDFs with embedded markup media are flattened, any embedded media is lost. Similarly, when a markup with embedded media is added to the Tool Chest, any embedded media is lost. Finally, markups with embedded media cannot be Grouped.

Images that have been saved to a local or network drive can be embedded in a markup in a couple of ways.

To embed an image from a file within Revu

1. CTRL-click the markup in which the image is to be embedded and go to Capture > From File. An Open dialog box opens.
2. Navigate to and select the image to be embedded and click Open. The image is embedded in the selected markup.
3. To review images embedded in a markup, click the embedded photo icon.

See Working with embedded images for more information about reviewing, adding, deleting or exporting embedded images.

Markups that have embedded media will have an embedded media icon near their lower-right corner. Clicking this icon opens a preview window showing the embedded media (or first piece of media, if multiple are embedded) and provides easy access to several useful tools:

Next: Advances Capture viewer to the next image or video embedded in the markup.

Previous: Returns Capture viewer to the previous image or video embedded in the markup.

Delete: Removes the current image or video from the markup. Deleted images or videos can be restored by clicking away from the markup (so no markup is selected) and using the Undo function.

Export: Provides the option to export either the current image or video or export all images and videos embedded in the markup to a local or network drive.

Add from file: Use to embed another image from a file.

Add from camera: Use to embed another image or video from the Camera.
