The chalk and talk feature is used to draw ad-hoc over videos for quick analysis.
You can simply load a video from any location, including your own device. Then use the chalk and talk feature to enable drawing on the video.
When using this feature, we recommend using a local video as there is no limit to the size it can be.
You don't need to add any play panels for this mode. You simply draw over the video and clear the drawing. Or you can draw over the video while it is being played.
You can even record your session when chalk and talk is active to create quick video streams of your situations.
To use the chalk and talk feature:
1. Load a video from any location.
For this tutorial, I'm going to load a local video. Click the "load local video" button, or click "video" on the dropdown menu and select "Load Local Video"

You can draw anywhere over the video now.
To clear the canvas, simply click the "clear canvas" button
And if you want to export a frame with the drawing you have in place, then just click "File" and select "Export Frame" as before.
Finally, to come out of chalk and talk mode, simply click the "Chalk and talk" button again to deactivate.Note:
You cannot export frames when YouTube videos have been used, due to YouTube security policies.
That’s it, you should have a good starting point on how to get the most out of your video analyzer.
