Stickers, graphics, and shapes

Add stickers, upload custom sticker assets, create shape overlays, style fills and strokes, and use graphics as callouts.


Stickers and graphics are visual overlays. Use them for arrows, labels, badges, reactions, callouts, shapes, progress bars, and brand elements.

Upload a custom sticker

Use custom stickers for brand icons, product badges, emojis, or repeatable overlays.

  1. Open Stickers.
  2. Click Upload or Add custom sticker.
  3. Choose an image file.
  4. Wait for it to appear in your sticker library.
  5. Drag it into the timeline.

Use transparent PNG or SVG where possible for clean overlays.

Transform a sticker

  1. Select the sticker.
  2. Drag it on the canvas for rough placement.
  3. Use corner handles to resize.
  4. Rotate if needed.
  5. Open the properties panel for precise position, scale, and rotation.

If the sticker should follow an object, use tracking after you place it.

Add a graphic or shape

  1. Click Graphics or the relevant shape area in the left panel.
  2. Choose a shape.
  3. Drag it onto the canvas or timeline.
  4. Select it.
  5. Adjust shape settings in the properties panel.

Shape library examples:

  • Rectangle.
  • Rounded rectangle.
  • Ellipse.
  • Polygon.
  • Star.
  • Triangle.
  • Heart.
  • Chevron.
  • Cross / plus.
  • Line / divider.

Style a shape

Select the shape and use the Graphic tab.

Common controls:

  • Fill color — inside color.
  • Stroke color — outline color.
  • Stroke width — outline thickness.
  • Stroke alignment — inside, center, or outside edge.
  • Shape-specific controls — corner radius, points, arrow style, progress amount, etc.

Use graphics as callouts

Arrow callout

  1. Add an Arrow shape.
  2. Position it toward the object you want to highlight.
  3. Set stroke width high enough to read.
  4. Choose a bright color.
  5. Add a short text label next to it.
  6. Group the arrow and label if you want to move them together.

Highlight box

  1. Add a rounded rectangle.
  2. Set fill opacity low or use stroke only.
  3. Place it around the subject.
  4. Animate opacity for a highlight pulse if needed.

Progress bar

  1. Add a progress-style shape.
  2. Set fill and background colors.
  3. Keyframe the progress parameter from 0 to 100.
  4. Preview the timing.

Apply effects to stickers and graphics

Stickers and graphics can use visual effects just like other overlays.

Try:

  • Drop shadow.
  • Glow.
  • Blur.
  • Opacity changes.
  • Blend modes.
  • Motion with keyframes.

Track a sticker or graphic

For eligible overlays:

  1. Place the sticker or shape near the target.
  2. Select it.
  3. Open Tracking.
  4. Choose the target area.
  5. Run tracking.
  6. Preview and adjust.

Tracking works best when the target is visible, has contrast, and does not leave frame.

Keyframe shape parameters

Many shape settings can be animated.

  1. Select the shape.
  2. Open the shape-specific property.
  3. Click the keyframe icon.
  4. Set the starting value.
  5. Move the playhead.
  6. Change the value.
  7. Preview the animation.

Use this for progress bars, expanding highlights, moving arrows, and animated badges.
