How to Annotate a Video
Write and Draw on Your Videos
Add Text and Titles
Add notes, labels, or animated titles to explain what viewers are seeing. Choose from over 1,000 fonts or upload your own, then adjust the color, size, position, and timing.
Draw on Your Video
Circle an important detail, write by hand, or add a quick sketch directly over the footage. Choose a brush, color, and line size, then control when the drawing appears on the timeline.
Point Things Out With Shapes and Arrows
Use arrows, lines, circles, and other shapes to direct attention to a button, product, or part of the screen. Change their size, color, position, and duration to fit the video.
Annotate YouTube Videos Before Uploading
YouTube no longer offers built-in annotations. Add your text, arrows, shapes, or calls to action in Flixier before uploading the finished video to your channel.
