Introduction to Annotation Objects

In the previous article, you’ve been exposed to interactive objects like drop area and button. This tutorial continues to walk you through annotations (also non-interactive objects). So, you’ll get a short overview of annotation objects in ActivePresenter.  

Generally, ActivePresenter offers 14 types of annotation objects, namely shapes, text captions, highlights, spotlights, gesture effects, footers, images (including screenshots), audios, videos, YouTube objects, web objects, cursor paths, zoom-n-pans, and closed captions. They all appear in the Annotations tab.

In general, annotations are usually used for explaining information or designing contents. However, you can add interactivity to them using events and actions. Here are some details about each of these annotation object.
