# Insert

### **1. Overview of the Insert Panel**

The **Insert** panel gives you access to all the overlay elements and
effects you can add to your Velo. Open it by clicking the **Insert**
icon in the right sidebar.

The panel is divided into three sections:

* **Elements** - Static visual additions like text, images, and shapes.

* **Effects** - Attention-directing overlays like Callout and Spotlight.

* **Focus** - Precision tools like Mask and Zoom.

### **2. Adding Elements**

The **Elements** section contains the following items you can add
directly to the canvas:

* **Text Box** - Adds an editable text label you can drag anywhere on
  the frame.

* **Image** - Inserts an image file from your computer onto the canvas.

* **Rectangle** - Adds a filled or outlined rectangle shape.

* **Arrow** - Adds a directional arrow you can point at anything on
  screen.

Click any item to add it to the current frame. Once added, drag to
reposition and use the handles to resize.

### **3. Adding Effects**

The **Effects** section contains overlay effects that direct viewer
attention:

* **Callout** - Draws a highlighted box around a region on screen.
  See the [Callout](/editing-velo/callout) page for full settings.

* **Spotlight** - Dims the area surrounding a focused region. See the
  [Spotlight](/editing-velo/spotlight) page for full settings.

Clicking an effect adds it to the canvas and creates a new block in the
corresponding timeline track.

### **4. Adding Focus Tools**

The **Focus** section contains two precision tools:

* **Mask** - Covers a sensitive area of the screen (such as a password
  or private email) with a blur or solid block. See the
  [Masks](/editing-velo/masks) page for details.

* **Zoom** - Adds a new zoom block to the timeline at the current
  playhead position. See the [Zooms](/editing-velo/zooms) page for
  details.
