If you were using the keyboard and the mouse to enter information and press hotkeys while recording, you can include them in the video tutorial as the hint text pop-ups or annotations.

To record a video tutorial with annotations:

  1. Record the screen or a video from the webcam. See detailed instructions in the Screen Recording article.

  2. After the recording is finished, iSpring Cam Pro will be opened. In the window alerting about the recording being over, check Add annotations to the screen recording.


  3. Click the Customize annotations button if you want to select a custom color of the annotations. Here, you can select a preset color scheme in the Profile menu, set up the annotation text and colors.

    To save your own set of fonts and texts and use it for other videos, click the floppy disk icon to the right of the Profile menu. Then, enter the profile name and click OK. Now, this profile will be available to use for future screen or webcam recordings.



  4. In the Annotation Design window, click Save to proceed to the video editing.



  5.  Click Continue to go to the editing of the recorded video.



  6. The recorded video, as well as audio and annotations if included, will be added to the timeline. Each media element like video, audio and annotations will occupy its own track on the timeline.



  7. Now, you can start editing the recorded content or add new media objects. As the audio and video files are added to separate tracks, their properties should be edited separately.
