Arrow

A hand-drawn (or clean) arrow sweeps from a label to the thing you point at, with a pulse on the spot.

Render it

npx volito render annotate/arrow --prop label="Look here" --out arrow.mov

That writes ProRes 4444 with alpha, ready to drop over footage. The same item in another shape, brand or format:

volito render annotate/arrow --aspect 9:16 --style cobalt --out arrow-9x16.mov
volito render annotate/arrow --format mp4 --out arrow.mp4
volito still annotate/arrow --t 1.5 --out arrow.png
volito info annotate/arrow     # every prop and part
volito add annotate/arrow      # copy its source into ./motion to edit

From Node:

import { findItem, renderVideo } from "volito";

await renderVideo(findItem("annotate/arrow"), { props: { label: "Look here" }, out: "arrow.mov" });

Or ask an agent with the MCP server connected: “Render the Volito arrow (annotate/arrow) in 9:16, in our brand.”

Props

Set each with --prop name=value, or all at once with --props and a JSON object.

Parts

Each part takes any move, ease or idle: --motion label.in=pop.

Tags: annotation, arrow, point, look, here, hand-drawn

More in Annotate

Circle it

A marker loop drawn round the thing that matters — once, twice, or a clean ring — with an optional label.

Spotlight

Everything but one area dims; a feathered spotlight closes onto it with an accent ring, and a label sits by it.

Focus lock

Camera focus brackets hunt in from the frame's corners, snap onto the subject with a blink, and lock in the accent with a label and crosshair.

Highlight

A highlighter swipes across a word or area — or a marker underline, box or strike-through drawn on by hand.

Stamp

A rubber stamp slams down at an angle — APPROVED, SOLD OUT, NEW — with a rough inked double border and a jolt.

Reactions

Live reactions float up in a stream — hearts, likes, fire, laughs — swaying, popping in and fading out, like a live stream.
