Live Drawing as Annotation

technique involving drawing directly onto video footage using a stylus and a touch-sensitive interface, with the drawings appearing as a new layer in the timeline. Popularized by explainer videos and now integrated into NLEs, this method serves as a form of dynamic, gestural annotation. It is used to highlight areas of the frame, connect concepts visually, or add a layer of personal, handcrafted commentary, distinct from the precision of formal motion graphics.
