Add Arrows to a Video

Using an arrow tool is a simple yet powerful way to enhance your video editing workflow. Whether you’re selecting, moving, or adjusting elements in your project, the arrow tool offers precision and control. 

In the video editor click on the arrow tool and insert the arrow into your video.

Click on the color palette to choose a color for the arrow.

The selected color will be outlined in white.

Click on the "+" icon to add a color to your favorites.

To remove a color from your favorites hover over it and click on the "X" icon.

Adjust the arrow's size.

Add a drop shadow if needed.

The arrow will display on screen and in the timeline view.

Use the ellipsis on either side to extend or reduce its duration. Click and drag the arrow segment within the timeline to reposition it.

Right click on the arrow segment in the timeline to copy, cut and delete it. The keyboard shortcut Ctrl/Cmd + V can be used to paste the copied or cut segment.

Alternatively, use the tools right above the timeline to cut, copy, paste and delete it. 

Remember to click “Save progress” once you’ve finished making changes.
