Custom Callouts

Create a Custom Callout

Create your own custom callouts by importing an image file (.bmp, .gif, .png, .jpg) into the Custom Callout Manager. Use custom callouts to:

  • Include a consistent callout throughout a series of videos
  • Update or correct a frame in the video
  • Enlarge the cursor for a portion of the video
  • Use a custom shape or company logo.
