00:46 Here we are in YouTube before I get into getting our annotations knocked out I wanna tell you what annotations can do to help you and your YouTube channel\r
\r
00:56 Annotations are used to increase engagement in your videos you can use them to add text to explain something about the video add text to ask viewers to like favorite or share a video you can ask a question to get people to leave comments on a video you can add clickable subscribe buttons thumbnails and links to other videos that you have on your channel you can link to other parts of the same video you can link to a video playlist a website merchandise store social media sites all of that \r
\r
01:43 First thing you wanna do it click on the icon on the upper right side of your screen when you click on that you wanna go to the Creator Studio\r
\r
01:54 Once youre in the Creator Studio you wanna go to the left side of your screen and you wanna click on Video Manager once youre here you wanna select the video that you wanna add annotations to and click on the Edit button\r
\r
02:17 Once you get to the Edit screen you go up to the Annotations button and select that\r
\r
02:48 So now you wanna click on Add Annotation. As you can see theres several types of annotations here you got Speech Bubble Note Title Spotlight and Label I\r
\r
03:03 So lets start off with Speech Bubble. If you click on Speech Bubble itll add this little speech bubble to your video. Now you can left click and drag on it to move it where you want to and you can also left click any of the grab points to position it and make it look how you want\r
\r
03:50 You got you got Custom you got Normal and then you have another option on here called Imp. if you click on Imp it adds a shadow and a little bevel to the speech bubble\r
\r
04:07 For the text you got your font size and you also have your font color. And then you have the background for your text bubble. You can change it to different colors however you like\r
\r
04:30 You also have your Start time and your End time. The start time is the time that the annotation pops up on the screen and starts the End time is the time that the annotation leaves the screen and it stops\r
\r
05:09 The last option on here is to add a link. If you click on link you can add a link to a several different things\r
\r
05:20 You can add a link to your video to a playlist you made of videos to your YouTube Channel your Google+ Profile you can add a link to get people to subscribe or ually have them subscribe to your channel if you have a fundraising project with one of the multiple fundraising projects that YouTubes associated with you can add a link to that fundraising project if you have a website that you have linked to your YouTube Channel you can link to an Associated Website and if you have a merchandise store that you have hooked up with YouTube you can link to that merchandise store \r
\r
06:08 You have the option to open a link in a new window so if you want people to keep watching the video that theyre watching and you want the new video to open up in a new window \r
\r
06:46 So the Note annotation is just like the Speech Bubble except for the f that it doesnt have a little thing on it to point towards the person\r
\r
07:52 We also got Title if you wanna add a title to your video \r
\r
08:21 Another type of annotation that we got is Spotlight. So Spotlight is the one that most people use for things like making things clickable like a thumbnail a subscribe button or a video that will lead you to another video or a spot in the same video\r
\r
08:40 What it does is once it gets to it it ually you hover over it and you cant see it until you hover over it so it makes it look more like its just a regular button and then it highlights it or spotlights it when you hover over it\r
\r
12:00 Last one we got on here is Label. Labels just like a Spotlight except you can use it for something that doesnt have any words like it doesnt say subscribe or it doesnt have the thumbnails with the pictures\r
\r
12:46 Once youre done making all your annotations all you gotta do is hit Publish and then when you go back to watch your video you will see all of the lovely annotations that you added.\r
