Hover Sound Preview

Problem

In a grid of muted video cells, users cannot quickly check which clips have interesting audio without opening each one in fullscreen.

Solution

Hovering over a video cell temporarily previews its audio. Move the cursor away and audio stops. This provides a quick, non-destructive way to audition audio content.

Tier Availability

  • Free: Not available.
  • Plus / Pro: Audio preview on hover.

UI Flow

  1. Enable Hover Sound Preview from the toolbar or Preferences > Playback.
  2. Hover over any video cell to hear its audio.
  3. Move the cursor away to stop the preview.

Known Limitations

  • Only one cell’s audio previews at a time.
  • Interacts with simultaneous audio setting; if simultaneous audio is enabled, hover preview has no additional effect.

Marketing One-Liner

Hover over any cell to instantly preview its audio — no clicks, no fullscreen, just a quick listen.
