What Is the Spotlight Effect?** The Spotlight effect dims the area around a selected region of your screen, drawing the viewer's attention to a specific part of the recording. It is useful for focusing viewers on a particular UI element, button, or section without cutting away from the rest of the screen. Description ### **2. Adding a Spotlight to Your Velo** To add a Spotlight: * Open the **Insert** panel from the right sidebar. * Under the **Effects** section, click **Spotlight**. * A spotlight region will appear on the canvas and a corresponding block will be added to the **Spotlight** track in the timeline. * Drag the spotlight region on the canvas to position it over the area you want to highlight. Description ### **3. Adjusting the Dimmed Background Opacity** The **Background Opacity** slider controls how dark the surrounding area becomes when the spotlight is active. * Slide right to darken the background more, making the highlighted area stand out more strongly. * Slide left for a subtler dimming effect. Description ### **4. Changing the Spotlight Background Color** The **Background Color** picker allows you to change the color of the dimmed area surrounding the spotlight region. * Click the color swatch to open the color picker and choose your preferred tint. * The default is black, which creates a classic darkened focus effect. Description ### **5. Rounding the Spotlight Corners** Use the **Border Radius** slider to adjust how rounded the corners of the spotlight region appear. * Slide right for a pill or oval shape. * Slide left to keep the spotlight region as a sharp rectangle. Description ### **6. Setting the Spotlight Duration** The **Duration** field controls how long the spotlight effect remains active in your video. * Adjust the value to match the segment of your demo you want to highlight. * You can also drag the edges of the Spotlight block directly in the timeline to resize it.
