Edit Clip Visualizations

Fine-tune your visual effects in PlayBase by adjusting size, timing, position, and style to make your analysis clear and professional.

After adding visualizations to your clips, you’ll often want to adjust them for clarity or emphasis. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to edit your visuals using the Infobox and timeline controls in the Annotations Module.

How to Edit a Visualization

  1. Select a clip from your playlist

  2. Open the Annotations Module (Cmd+5 or Ctrl+5)

  3. Click on the visualization you want to edit in the video canvas or timeline

  4. An Infobox will appear—this is where you make detailed edits

What Can You Change?

In the Infobox, you can:

  • Move the visualization to a new position on screen

  • Resize it by dragging the corners

  • Change color, opacity, thickness or animation style

  • Adjust the duration using the bar on the timeline

For example, you can turn a simple spotlight into a larger, pulsing glow to emphasize intensity, or use arrows with different angles to show tactical directions.

Pro Tip

You can drag the Infobox anywhere on screen to keep your workspace clear and focused. This helps when you’re layering multiple visuals in the same moment.

If you ever want to remove a visualization, simply select it and press Delete.

Best Practices

  • Use consistent styles for the same types of visuals (e.g., red spotlight for defenders)

  • Don’t overload the screen—clarity is key

  • Combine visuals with pauses for maximum attention (covered in a future lesson)
