For the **Convert My Voice into AI Voice** , and **Use My Voice** options, you can only manually add spotlights using Method 2. **Steps: ** 1. Click **Create \> Create Video**. 2. Select either **Autogenerate AI Voiceovers** or **Add Audio Later** mode in your voice settings. 3. Navigate to the right side of your screen, and select the **Auto-Apply spotlight** check box under the automation tab. 4. Share screen and record your chrome tab. **Outcome** : Trainn will generate a video with spotlights added to highlight your click actions recorded.  **Note:** Share Chrome tab for best results. If you need to record a video for desktop application, write to [support@trainn.co](mailto:support@trainn.co). Do not use "Share Entire Screen" as spotlights may not be captured correctly in this setting. ### **Method 2: Manually Add/Edit Spotlights** This setting is applicable for manually adding a spotlight from scratch, or even editing the spotlights generated by Trainn’s automation.  **Steps: ** 1. Once your video is generated, click **Edit Video** to enter the video editor window. 2. Select the clip where you want to add a spotlight. 3. Navigate to the right side of your editor to find the **Spotlight** option from your video editor toolbar. 4. Click **Add Spotlight**. 5. Enter the start and end timestamps to set the spotlight duration for the clip. You can also use the draggable spotlight timeline to do the same.  **Note:** Spotlight 1 denotes the first spotlight you apply to a clip. You can add multiple spotlights within the same clip. 1. To adjust the position of your spotlight or move the spotlights position, click **Adjust Position** , to drag and position the spotlight within the clip.  ### **Add Multiple Spotlights** In Trainn you can add more than one spotlight within the same clip, to draw attention to different areas. This setting is only available while editing a video.  To add multiple spotlights:  1. Click **Add Spotlight** under Spotlight 1, to add Spotlight 2, and follow the same procedure to add more spotlights. ### **Adjusting Spotlight Timing** Adjust object timing using: 1. **Timestamp Player** : Add start and end timestamps in the timeline player manually. 2. **Draggable Timeline** : Drag and move each object's timeline. This method helps align your objects with your voiceovers and on-screen actions. **Note:** The draggable editor activates only after you set the timestamps for a spotlight, and click save. Only if this step is followed, can you adjust the spotlight position.  ### **Limitations** - Spotlight functionality may not work as expected when using the "Share Entire Screen" or Window option to record a desktop application. Contact us to get our desktop app. - Spotlight functionality may not work as expected when recording an iFrame. You might have to adjust the position manually.
