Screening Room Annotation Size Preference (increased resolution)

Right now the attached annotated images produced from the Screening Room web player are anywhere from 800x450 to 800x460 depending on the size of the screen. We've heard from some clients they'd like for the annotations to be larger to match the size of the video being played in the web player (1280x720).

Would this be useful to you? Would you prefer to see this sort of feature implemented as a preference? Let us know by voting and leaving your thoughts in the comments below.

    Would be nice to have it optional per project.

    This would be even more useful now that we support still images that maintain a higher resolution (up to 2k) after upload and processing. An 800px annotation on a 2k image sacrifices a great deal of the original image quality, and could compromise the usefulness of the annotation.

    Hey guys, this is critical. I just ran into an issue where one of our offsite designers used the annotation tools to deliver a bunch of notes and the notes ended up being mostly unreadable because it was downresed well below the maximum allowable size. He was upset when we told him that he had to redo all of his notes and wants to move back Box for doing notes. This is not good and undermines the work we have been doing to get all of our client review into Shotgun. I don't understand why the overlay is not kept at the same size as the original for still images. For instance, if I want to export the overlay to Photoshop to be a layer on top of the original, it no longer works because it's A. unreadable and B. pixelated. Please up the priority of this request.

    Yeah, this jagged us with an overseas Studio, we had to backtrack and do any draw overs in Photoshop to keep them clear ... the current resolution makes the work you've done on the draw over tools a bit redundant, we have to stop using it till it is changed.

    This should be an option when you setup your site, could annotations be exposed within the entity options ?

    Want to bump this as well - the text within the annotation tool is basically unreadable without greatly increasing the size. In addition, the annotation image size reduces our ability to provide detailed feedback on high fidelity models.

    This would be huge for us as well.  Very few of our retouchers are on site.  Text needs to be legible.  2K resolution minimum would be ideal.  Having the ability to choose up to 4K resolution, even better.  Thanks, giving this another bump!
