The **Add Object** feature lets you add arrows, text boxes, or rectangles within a video clip. You add these objects when you want to direct viewer attention to specific areas of your screen or provide additional context within your videos. Object types include:  - **Arrows** point to certain actions or areas within a clip - **Text boxes** add additional context as text within a clip - **Rectangles** highlight an area within the clip ### **Steps** 1. Navigate to the video editor toolbar within any video and click **Add Objects**. 2. Click **Add a Layer**.  **Note:** Objects are added as layers first. This allows you to have the option to setup multiple objects at the same time or or at different times.  1. Enter the start and end timestamps to set the layer duration for the clip. You can also use the draggable spotlight timeline to do the same. 2. Select the object (arrow, rectangle, or text box): 3. Click **Save & Return** to finalize the objects. ### **Add Multiple Objects to a Clip** You can add multiple objects based on activation timelines: **Objects that activate at the same time** 1. Click **Edit Layer** for an existing layer. 2. Add more than one object within this layer.  **Note:** Trainn displays "In Layer 1" to indicate that all objects in this layer activate simultaneously. **Objects that activate at different times** 1. Click **Add Layer** to create a new layer. 2. Add objects to this new layer and set different timing.  **Note:** Trainn differentiates between layers as Layer 1, Layer 2, etc. ### **Adjust Object 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.
