In Presentation Mode, you’re not limited to pre-made visuals. You can draw live on your clips and add new visualizations in real time—perfect for spontaneous explanations or interactive sessions with players.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use PlayBase’s live drawing tools to add graphics during a presentation without affecting your original clips.

How It Works

When you’re in Presentation Mode, you can open the Visualizations Panel to access live telestration tools. These tools let you draw directly on the video or place visual effects that appear during playback.

These live visuals are not saved to the clip—they exist only for the current presentation session.

What You Can Add

• Arrows and shapes to indicate movement or position

• Spotlights and highlights to focus attention

• Text and player identifiers

• Speed indicators or rings

These elements help you reinforce key ideas on the fly while watching with others.

How to Use It

1. Enter Presentation Mode

2. Click the drawing icon at the top-right corner to open the Visualizations Panel

3. Choose a tool (e.g. arrow, spotlight, speed tag)

4. Click and draw directly on the video canvas

5. Visuals will stay on screen as long as the clip is playing

You can undo visuals individually or clear them all at once before moving to the next clip.

Best Use Cases

• Clarify tactical points during a live review

• Respond to questions or player observations on the spot

• Make your sessions more interactive and visually engaging
