Step by Step: How to add text & logos with video annotations
1. Click on the title of your video from your video library.
Select “annotations” on the left side of the screen. Then, click “New Annotation.”
2. Select Text or Logo
Decide if you’re adding a text or logo annotation. For a text annotation, type your annotation in the text box. Then you can set the font, size, and color of the text. To give extra emphasis to the text or make it look like a button, you can add a background color, border color, and set the border's width.
For an image annotation, choose the image file you want to upload. Then you can adjust the opacity and size of the image.
If you wish, you can add a hyperlink to your text or logo annotation that can link to a webpage, email, or phone number.
*annotations added without using the classic annotation editor will show for the entire duration of the video. To control when the annotation shows, click "Switch to classic editor" at the bottom of the page.
3. When done, click "add annotation"
Classic Editor
For more functionality and control over your annotations, switch to the classic editor. The classic editor will allow you to choose when the annotation appears in your video, as well as allow you to save annotations as templates for future use.
Choose from saved templates or start a new Video Annotation
After clicking "Switch to classic editor" at the bottom of the page, you can choose from previously saved annotation templates or, if you’re starting from scratch, select “blank.”
Setting the duration for your annotation
Below the video preview in the classic annotation editor, you will be able to determine the start and end times for the annotation, It’s important to note that two annotations can not occupy the same position at the same time in the video.
Pro Tip: If you want to reuse the annotation for other videos, you can save it as a template. To do this, click the “Save as Template” button below the video editor. Now you’ll be able to select that template or use it as a starting point for annotations on other videos.
