Annotations

While there is no dedicated tool for annotations, VideoEditor SDK can easily be configured to include the features necessary for a powerful yet simple-to-use video annotation tool. To this end we only enable features that are useful to annotate objects in a video:

  • brush tool for flexible marking and colored highlights
  • sticker tool for including shapes such as arrows, tags or badges
  • text tool to provide information around annotation markers

Configuring menu items#

Since we only want to include the three above mention tools, we create their respective menu items using the ToolItem API.

Stickers#

We want to omit stickers that are not annotation specific, but rather add shapes such as arrows, tags or badges. To that end, we create ImageStickerItems from local drawable resources that are included as part of the assets:sticker-shapes module. Those stickers are then added to a category so we can meaningful name and group them in the editor UI. Consult the sticker configuration section for more details.

Configuration#

Finally, we configure the VideoEditorSettingsList to include the previously defined stickers and to only display the menu items of the annotation tools.
