Using timecoded tags, you can identify and tag visual cues, non-verbal content and other important information that might not show up in the closed captioning or program guide data of your recording. Timecoded tags can be helpful in identifying and reviewing similar moments from different recordings. Need to find each time a character makes a silly face? A time-coded tag called "silly face" would help you catalog and search on these specific moments in your library. It's simple to create and search for timecoded tags in SnapStream. Find out how below: --- #  [Timecoded Tags](https://www.snapstream.com/support/howtos/timecodedtags.asp) ![clip0177.jpg](https://blog.snapstream.com/hs-fs/hubfs/clip0177.jpg?width=593&name=clip0177.jpg)   1. To create a time-coded tag, right-click (Ctrl+Click on a Mac) in the playback bar or click the ![clip0060.jpg](https://blog.snapstream.com/hs-fs/hubfs/clip0060.jpg?width=35&name=clip0060.jpg) button. You will be prompted to select a name for the tag or choose a pre-existing playlist. The time-coded tag will show as a blue line on your playback bar. To create a timecoded range tag, set a clip start and end point before clicking the "Timecoded Tag" button   ![funnyface.png](https://blog.snapstream.com/hs-fs/hubfs/funnyface.png?width=537&height=275&name=funnyface.png)   2. Choose an existing tag from the dropdown menu or type a new tag. Click “Add” to finalize the tagging.   ![tags.gif](https://blog.snapstream.com/hs-fs/hubfs/tags.gif?width=434&name=tags.gif)   3. Timecoded tags are visible in the progress bar as a tag icon and blue line. Click on any tag to take you to the moment tagged.   ![tags.png](https://blog.snapstream.com/hs-fs/hubfs/tags.png?width=640&name=tags.png)   4. Tags are indexed by SnapStream. Timecoded tags will appear in all search results organically, but you can also tailor your search to tagged terms only by using the search filter “TAG:” --- - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) This entry was posted on Thursday, November 17, 2016 at 12:14 PM.
