How to add arrows, circles and callouts to a video

A tutorial, a product demo, a "look at this" moment: an arrow on screen saves a sentence of explaining.

Steps

  1. Move the playhead to the moment

    Play to the point where the arrow should appear and stop there. New graphics land at the playhead.

  2. Pick a shape

    Open "Shape" in the left panel list. Choose a colour at the top, then an arrow, a curved arrow, a speech bubble, a highlight frame, a ring, an underline or a burst.

  3. Place it

    The graphic lands on the titles track as a three-second clip and is selected. In the clip settings, set "Scale", "Horizontal" and "Vertical" to place it, and "Rotation" to aim it.

  4. Change it later

    Each graphic shows for three seconds from where it was added. Select it on the timeline to change its colour or position at any time, or press Delete to remove it.

  5. Export

    The export draws the same picture the preview shows. Press "Export" and download the file.
