Our Step-by-Step video format allows you to not just record videos quickly but also enables you to easily edit the recorded video. In this article, we'll walk you through the array of editing options currently at your disposal.
​
​

Intro and outro videos are fundamental in building a unified brand identity for your content. MP4 files you add are subject to a 10 MB size limitation.
​

Add cover and ending slides by clicking on the "+" sign of the Cover and Ending slides. Once added, you can edit and customize the slides.
​

You can click on the Undo or Redo buttons to transition between saved changes (or use a keyboard shortcut).
​

You can select a background color, a gradient, or an image to be used as a background by clicking on the "Background" Button when editing.
​

Add step numbers as visual cues by checking the 'Numbers' option. This feature automatically places numbered circles on each step, and you can customize their position and size.

To delete steps click the 3-dots menu next to the relevant step and opt for "Delete step".
​

To delete multiple steps at once:

1. Hold the Shift key while selecting the steps;

2. Click on the 3 dots next to any of these steps and choose 'Delete step', or press the Backspace button to remove them.
​

To duplicate steps click on the 3-dots menu next to the relevant video step and pick "Duplicate Step".

You can easily reorder the steps by dragging the relevant step into the desired position with the mouse.

​

In order to change the step duration:

A variety of elements can be added to enrich your video:

Incorporate callout text boxes within your video instructions and fine-tune them further to your preference. You have the flexibility to select a font family per callout, adjust text size, color, highlight color, and apply bold or underline formatting, according to your chosen font.
​

Utilize a resizable shape to blur out sensitive information from the video, safeguarding privacy and confidentiality.

To hide sensitive information consistently across all steps of your video, right-click the Blur shape and select "Apply to all steps."
​

Darken the background using a layer of a dark filter to emphasize the highlighted area, adding focus and prominence to the specific content you want to showcase. Please note, overlay can not be applied over images.

To remove the overlay from the step of your video:

1. Open your video in edit mode.

2. Click anywhere on the captured step.

3. Click on on the Trash bin icon to delete the overlay layer.

4. Click "Done" to save changes.
