The Capture icon with a red dot indicates recording. - **Annotations** - Use the various tools to annotate your screen during recording. ### ✏️ Using Annotation Tools During Recording Kaltura Capture includes built-in annotation tools that allow you to draw on your screen during a recording. These tools are especially useful for highlighting key concepts, guiding attention, or emphasizing specific areas of your presentation. The Annotations toolbar can be accessed by clicking the pencil icon in the Recording Tool after you start a **screen recording**. It remains visible until you click the icon again to close the annotations menu.Annotation tools are only available when screen recording is enabled. If you are recording only your camera or audio, the toolbar will not appear.
If you do not need the Annotation tools, consider using Express Capture instead. It is browser-based and does not require all the setup for Kaltura Capture.
#### Annotation Tool Options - **Arrow tool** - Use to draw an arrow to point out a specific element on your screen. - **Text tool** - Use to type text anywhere on your screen (maximum 500 chars). You can type special characters, add links, use different languages, and copy/paste text. - **Select color** - Select pencil color: white, red, blue, black, yellow, and green. - **Line size** - Increase or decrease the line size of the annotation. - **Drawing tool** - Use to draw freely on your screen. - **Cursor tool** - Switch your cursor back to normal after using the notation tools. - **Select tool** - Select an area on the screen or select an annotation you created to move it on the screen. - **Whiteboard** - Open a new whiteboard for additional annotations. - **Clear annotations** - Clear all the annotations on the screen. [](https://dyzz9obi78pm5.cloudfront.net/app/image/id/665355fcc6d2bd09236d7c97/n/picture3.png) #### Best Practices for Using Annotations - **Plan**: Know which parts of your screen you want to annotate and keep your notes concise. - **Avoid clutter**: Use annotations sparingly to maintain clarity. - **Use contrasting colors**: Ensure your annotations stand out against your background. - **Practice beforehand**: Familiarize yourself with the tools to avoid fumbling during a live recording.**Important:** Annotations are recorded as part of the video and cannot be removed after recording. To chop and splice out the entire section with annotations. ➤ See: [**Editing Videos in Kaltura**](https://kb.astate.edu/books/learning-technology/page/editing-videos-in-kaltura).
If you need editable overlays or advanced effects, consider using Adobe Premiere Pro or After Effects after exporting your video. To learn how to download your Kaltura recordings, edit them in an external tool, and then upload them back to My Media. ➤ See: **[Downloading, Advanced Editing and Uploading of External Media](https://kb.astate.edu/books/learning-technology/page/downloading-advanced-editing-and-uploading-of-external-media)**

# Editing Videos in Kaltura The Kaltura video editor is a simple yet powerful tool for editing any video uploaded to Kaltura. You can trim, clip, chop, and splice your videos.Combining two videos isn't supported in the video editor—use **Media Stitching** for that.
You can’t change a video’s title directly from the video editor unless you’re saving your changes as a new copy.

You can adjust how the content is displayed on the player using the screen icons that appear when you hover (see image below). Changing the display won't affect the timeline.

Click **Create** - You’ll be taken to the **Edit Entry** page to add metadata.Captions are retained from each of the stitched videos.
Once saved, stitched items cannot be changed. You will need to use the Editor to make any changes to the stitched video once it has been saved.
If you delete a media entry after it has been added to a stitched video, it will remain in the stitched video.
Timeline breaks are visible between stitched videos. Fade transitions are planned for future releases.
For cleaner stitching of videos with transitions, you may want to consider the Adobe Creative Cloud tools.
