ScreenFlow User Guide
Main Window : Actions — Callout

Callout Actions

A Callout action controls properties found in the Callout Properties panel.

A Callout action can only be used on Screen Recording clips.

Below is a screen-shot of a Callout action on a screen recording clip

The colored action rectangle starts at time 2s (2 seconds), and continues until the end of the clip:

Editing Properties of Callout Actions

Unlike other Actions, you must create a Callout Action before editing properties on the Callout Properties panel.

You must always click on the Callout Action to edit it.
You can only edit the currently selected Callout Action.
The scrubber has no affect on which Callout you are editing.

It is best to think of a Callout Action as the duration of the callout.

An Example

Using the above screen-shot, we have a Callout starting at time 2.0s and continuing until the end of the presentation.

If you play the presentation with the default values, you will see a highlight around the Mouse Pointer starting at 2 seconds and continuing until the end.

You can, of course, move the Callout to start/stop at any time in your presentation, so as to match areas of interest in your screencast.
