ScreenFlow Tutorial | Editing your Document — Adding a Callout
| Adding a Callout Lastly, we're going to add a callout to focus the viewer's attention on the mouse click at the start of the presentation. Move the Scrubber to 3s (3 seconds) in the Timeline. The Scrubber is in the Timeline: it's the triangle with the red line coming down from it. The Scrubber tells you where in the presentation you are currently editing. Moving it to 3 seconds means you will edit at 3 seconds. 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). If you play your presentation, you'd see the mouse highlighted starting at 3 seconds until 7 seconds into the presentation. 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 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 viewer's 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. Next Page—Callout Effects
