Im going to show you how to effectively use annotations to connect and engage with your audience. Plus, Im going to show you a few things that you might not know. You can add a speech bubble, you can add a note, a title, a spotlight, or just even pause the video at the right time.\r
\r
00:43 The first thing we need to do is click on the Video Manager button up here in the upper right-hand corner. This is going to load in all your videos and what we want to do is select a video that we want to add that annotation. Once you find it go ahead and click the edit button. Then the next step that we need to do is click on Annotations. This will automatically start playing the video, we want to hit pause. What we want to do now is use this slider right here and scrub it to that point in time where we want that annotation to show up. \r
\r
01:15 The Next step that we need to do is click on the upper right-hand corner where is says add annotation. We can do the speech bubble, a note, title spotlight, label, and pause. \r
\r
01:35 The next thing I want to show you is you can ually put dialogue in the speech bubble. You can either double-click on it, or you can go on the right-hand side in this dialogue box and you can go ahead and type more information or all the information there. Underneath that there is a couple really cool tools. The first one is what we call imp. This ually will put a bevel and also a shadow on that speech bubble. This one right here will ually change the size of the font. This will ually change the font color. And this will ually change the annotation background. Ok, the next thing Im going to show you is how to do the start and stop time for the annotation to pop up in that video. Now to do that you can either adjust it here, you can just select the time. Now another way to do that is to come right over here and just click on this, hold your mouse down, and you can kinda make it as big as you want or as small as you want. And this is when the annotation is going to pop up. Ok, now the last function that we have is the link button. So we can go ahead and do a link. You can see here that we can do a video, a playlist, a channel, you can even tie it to your google+ profile, you can have it subscribe to your Youtube channel, fund-raising project, or\r
merchandise.\r
\r
03:15 The last thing we want to do is we want to be able to hit save here and then also publish. Now this is live and its ready to go, this dialogue box will be here with that link so when they click on it it will ually take them to that video which is really, really cool. Ok lets do our next annotation. The next annotation is a note, note is the same as speech bubble so we dont need to worry about that. So what we want to do it title, title you can go ahead and start typing stuff in, you can see what that does. We can change the font size, we can ually change the font\r
color, and you can have your start time and end time. This brings a great title in there if you want to just put something in your video. Now Im going to show you my favorite annotation tool, which is spotlight.\r
\r
Now, once we click to the end I like to put a little teaser at the end to get people to subscribe or look at my playlist or even watch other videos on my Youtube channel. Ok, Im going to give you one last bit of advise. You want to really keep those annotations very simple, and you want to make it very easy for them to subscribe to your channel.\r
