Annotations

Frameglyph provides a suite of drawing and text tools to annotate directly on your video frames.

Drawing Tools

The following tools are available in the Annotate workspace (accessible via the Layout panel):

Live Ink (Freehand)

Select Freehand to draw organically on the video canvas. Strokes are recorded with timing data and play back in sync with the video.

• Tip: If you use a tablet, Pressure Sensitivity is supported (enable in Preferences > Appearance).
• Live Ink Options: You can configure the video to Auto-play video on Live Ink start or Record Motion Strokes from the Live Ink settings.

Shapes

Draw precise shapes: Rectangle, Circle, Arrow, and straight Lines. Useful for highlighting specific areas or directing attention.

Text & Eraser

Use Text to place labels anywhere on the frame. Use the Eraser tool to remove specific strokes or annotations.

Working with Annotations

• Annotations are tied to specific frames and time ranges via keyframes.
• Use Select & Edit to move, resize, or delete annotations.
• Use Clear All to quickly remove everything on the current frame.
• Undo and Redo are fully supported for all drawing actions.

Style Editing

Each annotation supports customizable styles from the toolbar:

• Outline Color and Width for drawings and shapes
• Font, Size, and Text Color for text
• Toggle Outline and Toggle Fill options
• Background color and Opacity

Keyframes

Annotations can be animated across frames using keyframes on the timeline. This allows annotations to appear, move, or disappear at specific points in the video.
