Brush

This is a standard brush that can be used to draw on the screen. It’s selected by default when the Draw panel is opened, and can be used immediately. If a user is drawing in the Capture Video mode while the video isn’t paused, the changes will appear in the output video exactly like they were made, i.e. in progress.

Rectangle

Press and hold your cursor to add a rectangular autoshape to your screenshot or video.

Circle

Do the same thing to draw a circle within a selected area.

Arrow

Use the arrow tool to point at certain things on your screenshot or video.

Text

Point the cursor at a desired spot within the framed area to type the text. The font size can be selected from a dropdown menu by clicking the setting to the right of the Text icon.

Step tool

When this drawing tool is selected, each mouse click on the screen adds a numbered marker to the video or the screenshot. To reset the numeration press the button on the right (marked with X), in this case the step tool will start with number 1 once again.

Move tool

Press this button to move already added step markers and text objects around the chosen capture area.

Eraser

Use an eraser to partially wipe graphic added to the recording area.

Select one of the offered values to change the size of the added text and steps.

Colors

Users can select custom color for some graphic elements (including Text and Step Tool) that can be added by means of the Drawing panel. To select a certain color click the color box in the bottom of the panel.

Note: last color used in current recording session will be remembered and used by default at the start of the next session.

It’s possible to change the thickness of brush, rectangle, circle and arrow tools – three variants of thickness are available at the left side of the panel. Simply click the desired one and start using the tools.
