The annotation tool for YouTube creators
Stop adding circles in post. Draw arrows, boxes and call-outs while you record — Scribbble bakes them right into the screen capture.
Why youtubers use Scribbble
Adding callouts in Final Cut or Premiere is slow
Every circle, arrow and highlight in post-production eats hours. Drawing live cuts your editing time dramatically.
Re-recording when you point at the wrong thing
With a real annotation tool you can erase and redraw mid-take instead of cutting the whole clip.
How youtubers use it
Software tutorials
Walk through any Mac app — Figma, Photoshop, VS Code, Excel — circling buttons and drawing arrows as you narrate. The viewer's eye follows yours.
Code walkthroughs
Highlight specific lines, draw connections between functions, box off key blocks. Replaces the need for a second screen-recording layer.
Comparison and review videos
Side-by-side product comparisons with on-the-fly annotations. Use the rectangle tool to call out feature differences.
The tools that matter most
- Pen tool for freehand emphasis
- Highlighter for marking up code or text on screen
- Spotlight to dim everything except the part you're demonstrating
- Arrow tool for guided tours
- Rectangle and text for feature callouts
- Multiple colors to differentiate concepts
- Undo / redo so you can keep recording through small mistakes
FAQ
Will the annotations be in my final video?
Yes. Scribbble draws at the screen level, so anything ScreenFlow, Camtasia, Loom, ScreenStudio or QuickTime captures will include the annotations.
Can I undo a stroke without restarting the recording?
Yes — Scribbble has full undo / redo. Erase a mistake mid-take and keep rolling.
