Annotate

Add text, boxes, and arrows

Place a callout and control when it appears.

These guides cover the development build shown on this site. Some controls may differ in the published installer. Check your version in Settings and the download notes.

Add a callout

Move the playhead to the relevant moment, open Annotate, and choose Text, Box, or Arrow. Select the new item to edit it.

Position it

Use the preview handles to move or resize the selection. Keep labels clear of the subject and check their position at the final output aspect ratio.

Set the timing

Set Start and Length in the inspector or adjust the item on the timeline. Show the callout when it becomes relevant and remove it when it no longer applies.

Review the result

Play from before the callout starts to after it ends. Check spelling, contrast, and whether it covers something important. Read hiding sensitive content before treating a decorative callout as redaction.
