How to annotate screencast video – Advanced editing with timeline

With ActivePresenter we can create screencasts or elearning contents rapidly and easily with many exciting features and enhancements. One of the most important features is video support.

A common task is annotating screencast video by inserting an annotation on a video at a specific time.

How to place it properly when we don’t know what video is showing at a certain time. For example, we have a video which showing the way to open a new document in Word 2007 and we want to put a balloon like “Click on New” when mouse hovering menu but we don’t know when and where to place the balloon.

This can be done easily thanks to a very powerful feature in ActivePresenter: “Editing at a specific slide time”. It allows us to specify a timestamp in timeline and view how slide and video are presented at that time.
