ScreenFlow Tutorial | Editing your Document — Adding a Callout |
Adding a Callout
Lastly, we're going to add a callout, to focus the users attention on the mouse click at the start of the presentation.
Move the Scrubber to 3s (3 seconds) in the
Timeline. Make sure your Screen Recording clip is selected (click on it), and then select "Add Callout" from the Actions Menu. Your timeline should look like this: ![]()
This callout is now effective from time 3s (three second) until time 7s (seven seconds). Editing Callout Duration
Now edit the duration of the action by clicking near the right edge of the action and dragging the right side of it until it is at 5s (5 seconds). You will know when you are near the edge as the Mouse Pointer will change to indicate you can now click and move the edge. The action should now look like the following in your timeline: ![]() Play the Presentation
The callout is now effective from time 3s (three second) until time 5s (five seconds). When you play the presentation, you'll see the mouse highlighted starting at 3 seconds until 5 seconds. In our case, the default highlight effects aren't the best way to focus the users attention on the mouse when we clicked in the menu bar. In the next section, we'll add effects to the callout to better highlight the screencast. |
