The drawing tool shows what you mean: a run, a free space or a player's position. The video pauses at the moment of your drawing.

The drawing tool works in SmartCoach for coaches and in Smart11 for players. You draw on your own clips and actions.

1. Open a clip. In Smart11, open one of your actions.
2. Below the video, click the drawing icon, **Annotate this action**.
3. Pause the video at the moment you want to explain.
4. Click **Add annotation**.
5. Draw with the tools in the toolbar.
6. Under **Annotation duration**, choose how long the video stays paused.
7. Click **Save**. Repeat this for every moment you want to explain.
8. Click **Save and exit**.

Two annotations need at least half a second between them.

## The tools

- **Arrows**: runs and passes, straight or curved.
- **Highlight players**: put a player in the spotlight, with a name or label.
- **Circle**: stress a space or a gap in the shape.
- **Polygon**: draw a zone or an area.
- **Text**: put an instruction on screen.
- **Freehand drawing**: sketch a movement or shape.
- **Undo**: take back the last step.

Use the **Selection tool** to change a drawn object. You then pick the colour, line width and opacity, among other things.

## The exact moment

With **Adjust frame** you move an annotation one frame forward or back. Switch on **Preview mode** to watch the clip the way your player sees it.

## Download with drawings

When you download your clips, switch on **Include annotations**. Your drawings are then in the video.

## Tips

- Stick to fixed colours, for example green for a good choice and red for what can be better.
- Combine an arrow, a highlighted player and a short text.
- Use several moments per clip to explain a situation step by step.
