Drawing, naming and editing a focus

Open the editor with Focus on your clip. Its header shows Cancel and Done; the frame is in the middle, the list of your focuses beside it.

#Draw a focus

1. Move to the moment you want with the timeline under the frame.
2. Choose Area or Point in the toolbar (or + in the list).
3. For an Area, press and drag around the subject. For a Point, tap on the subject.
4. In Edit focus, give it a name if you like and choose a colour.
5. Press Apply. The focus is saved to your account right away.

Only one new focus waits to be applied at a time — a new tap or drag replaces it, so unapplied marks never pile up.

#Move and resize

• Move: drag inside the focus.
• Resize an Area: pull its handles. On a computer, a small bar above the Area offers Move and Resize; "Hold Shift to keep proportions" while resizing.
• Change the type: on a computer, Type in Edit focus switches between Point and Area.

#Name and colour

• A focus is named by its number at first — 01, 02 — and you can rename it up to 120 characters. The name you give it is how it is listed when you type # in your words — "girl", "red car". Its number never changes, so your mentions keep working after a rename.
• Choose one of 7 ready colours, press + for any colour, or type a colour's hex code.

#Edit or delete

• Click a focus on the frame, or choose it in the list, to edit it. The list can be searched with Find a focus — by number, name, type or colour.
• The ⋯ menu of a row offers Edit focus and Delete focus.
• Delete focus removes it at once and removes its #Focus mentions from your words. Other focuses keep their numbers.
• Undo (or Ctrl+Z / Cmd+Z) reverses your last applied change.

#Keyboard

#Finish

• Done applies the focus that is open and closes the editor.
• Cancel closes without applying the open one. Focuses you already applied stay.

A clip holds up to 500 focuses.
