Click Here Cursor Animation for Tutorials

The tutorial cursor on top of your screen recording: it comes in, travels to the spot, clicks with its ripple, the spot gets marked and what to do appears next to it, with the step number. Several steps, one per line, in percentages of the frame («30, 22 | Open Settings»; add width and height for a box). Three styles: ring, box and spotlight (darkens everything except the spot, and the hole travels from step to step).

How to use it in your editor

Export it without background and put it on a track above your clip: the animation plays over your video.

  • CapCut

    1. Export «without background»: you get a .mov with transparency.
    2. On desktop, drag it to a track above your clip. On the phone, use Overlay → Add overlay.
    3. If your app shows a black background, export «with your clip» instead and import the MP4 as your video.

  • Premiere Pro

    1. File → Import the .mov.
    2. Drag it to V2, above your footage on V1.
    3. The transparency is kept: move, scale or trim it like any clip.

  • DaVinci Resolve

    2. Place it on Video 2, above your clip.
    3. If you see black instead of your clip: right-click → Clip Attributes → Alpha Mode: Premultiplied.

  • Final Cut Pro

    2. Connect it above the primary storyline (shortcut Q).

Questions

Do I need After Effects or a plugin?
No. You edit «Click here (tutorial cursor)» right here in your browser: type your text, choose colors and format, watch the live preview and export a video file that works in any editor.
What file do I get?
Either a ProRes 4444 .mov with a transparent background, to place over your footage, or an MP4 with your own clip behind it. In 1920×1080 (16:9), 1080×1920 (9:16) or 1080×1080 (1:1); 2× (4K) is optional and costs double credits.
Is it free?
Editing and previewing are free and need no account. To export you sign in with Google; during the open beta, new accounts get export credits at no cost.
