Learn how to use Veo’s drawing tools to visually enhance your recordings. This feature allows coaches to illustrate tactics, highlight key moments, and deliver more impactful feedback, either live during video playback or saved as part of a clip.


Requirements:

  • Available on tablet-size screens and larger
  • Only supported in Follow-Cam mode (not available in Interactive Mode)

Use the drawing tool without saving a clip

You can draw on your video for live feedback without saving the edits as a clip. This is great for quick tactical discussions.

  1. Click the Add drawing icon in the bottom-left corner of the video player.
  2. Select from various drawing options like:

    • Colors
    • Arrows
    • Shapes
    • Magnify
    • Spotlight
    • Freehand drawing
    • Text

    You can also undo, redo, or clear all drawings.

Please note: Drawing tools are only available in Follow-Cam mode. Drawings cannot be created in Interactive Mode.


Where you can see drawings saved in a clip

When you save a drawing as part of a clip, the drawing is shown wherever that clip is played. Your players don't need to open the Veo Editor to see what you've drawn.

  • Veo Editor: open the clip from the Clips list
  • Clip page: the dedicated page each clip has, showing the clip, its description, and all comments and mentions in one place. It opens from the Mentions page, a notification email, or a shared clip link
  • Mentions page: the @ Mentions page in your Clubhouse, where people see the clips they've been mentioned in

To share a clip with your drawing, click the three-dot menu (⋮) next to the clip in the Clips list and select Copy Link. The person you share it with can only open the clip page if they have access to the clip.

Tip: Mention a player with @ in the clip description to send them a notification. They can then watch the clip with your drawing directly from their Mentions page. Learn how to collaborate with your team using Mentions

Note: Drawings are not included in downloaded clips. If you export a video, the drawings will not be visible in the downloaded file.


FAQs

Can my players see my drawings without opening the Veo Editor?

Yes. Drawings saved in a clip are shown on the clip page and on the Mentions page, as well as in the Veo Editor. Players can see them as long as they have access to the clip.

Why can't a player see my drawing?

Check that the drawing was saved as part of a clip. Drawings made without creating a clip are not saved, so they don't appear anywhere else. Also check the clip visibility settings and that the player has access to the recording.

Can I share a clip with drawings with someone outside my team?

Only if the clip visibility is set to Public. The clip page has the same visibility as the clip, so you can't make the clip page public on its own. It's currently not possible to share a private clip with someone outside the team. You can download the clip and share the file instead, but drawings are not included in downloaded clips.

Are drawings included when I download a clip?

No. Drawings are only visible when the clip is played in Veo. They are not included in downloaded or exported files.
