Props and overlays

Arrows, highlights, callouts, stickers and text that animate on your video and can follow your clicks.

Add a prop

The Studio with the Props tab open: prop groups, the From your clicks box with Number my clicks and Ring every click, a selected step badge with its animation bar on the video, the Quick add bar, and props on the Overlays lane. — The Props tab. Drag a prop onto the video, or let it follow your clicks.

Open the Props tab and drag a prop onto the video, or click it to add it at the playhead.
The Quick add bar under the video has the most used ones: Arrow, Box, Pulse ring, Step badge, Speech bubble and Blur.
Search props by name, or filter by group.

Follow your clicks

ZumCast knows where you clicked. In From your clicks, press Number my clicks to put a numbered step badge on each click, or Ring every click for a pulse ring.

Any prop can be attached to a click: it starts 0.6 s before the click and snaps to the element you clicked, so it stays in place as the video zooms.

Change a prop

Select a prop to show its bar: how it comes in (for example Draw on), what it does while on screen (Glow), how it goes out (Fade out), its colour, the click it’s attached to, duplicate and delete.

Drag to move, and drag a handle to resize.
Arrow keys nudge it; hold ⇧ for 10×. Hold ⌘ while dragging to turn off snapping.
Its timing is on the Overlays lane; drag the edges. Props last 2.5 s by default.

A grid of every ZumCast prop: arrows, rings, highlight boxes, speech bubbles, step badges, key caps, sticky notes, stickers such as a rocket and a heart, text titles, privacy masks, shapes, a subscribe button, a progress bar, a poll and a QR code. — About 70 props in eight groups.
