  <h3>3. Add comments to the tags without pausing the video</h3>
  <p>Make sure the <code>Markers</code> panel (<code>Window</code> -&gt; <code>Markers</code>) and the <code>Source</code> panel is visible (<code>Window</code> -&gt; <code>Source</code>).<br />

  <p>While the video plays, you can add markers in the <code>Source</code> panel and then add comments to these markers in the <code>Markers</code> panel. The video is not paused.</p>
  <p>In your comment you mention you would like to export the markers to a file. Unfortunately I did not find a straightforward way to do this in CS6, however, PP Creative Cloud does have this option according to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlcNam09dJw" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this tutorial</a>.
  The option can be found in <code>File</code> -&gt; <code>Export</code> -&gt; <code>Markers</code> and allows you to export an HTML file of your timestamped markers, including comments and a screenshot of the video at that time.</p>

  This seems possible in Adobe Premiere Pro (CS6 at least).
  From your question I understand you want to do three things, I will treat every one of them separately. The steps can be used to achieve your goal.
  
  First, open a new project in Premiere Pro (PP) and import the media you want to add comments to.
  Additionally, I found the `Metalogging` window lay-out convenient for this task (`Windows` -> `Workspace` -> `Metalogging` or `Alt`+`Shift`+`6`), but you might find another lay-out fit your needs better.
  
  ### 1. Play video at 1.5x speed
  
  Double click the video you want to play, it will open in the `Source` panel.
  Press `Spacebar` to play the video and use the `L` key to increase the playback rate and the `J` decreases it (credits to [this answer](https://video.stackexchange.com/a/8485/2178)).
  
  ### 2. Create a list of tags during playback
  
  While the video plays hit the `M` key to create a `Marker` at the timecode currently shown in the `Source` panel (markers pointed out):
  
  [![source markers](https://i.sstatic.net/MeAoI.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/MeAoI.png)
  
  Make sure the `Source` panel is in focus (i.e. has a yellow line around the panel):
  [![panel in focus](https://i.sstatic.net/mhNRt.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/mhNRt.png)
  
  ### 3. Add comments to the tags without pausing the video
  
  Make sure the `Markers` panel (`Window` -> `Markers`) and the `Source` panel is visible (`Window` -> `Source`).  
  When you add markers during playback, these will show up in this panel with a comment field:
  
  [![comments](https://i.sstatic.net/yvt16.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/yvt16.png)
  
  While the video plays, you can add markers in the `Source` panel and then add comments to these markers in the `Markers` panel. The video is not paused.
  
  In your comment you mention you would like to export the markers to a file. Unfortunately I did not find a straightforward way to do this in CS6, however, PP Creative Cloud does have this option according to [this tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlcNam09dJw).
