Show your clicks
Every click can leave a mark at the pointer: an orb, a ring, a press or a ripple. Pick its size and colour. Works in Chrome and Mac takes.

Where to find it
- Video editor
- Pro
- Cursor
- Clicks
In Simple, the Click highlights row (for a Chrome take) or the pointer row (for a Mac take) turns marks on and sets their size, and the row under it picks the mark: Ripple, Ring, Orb or Press for a Chrome take, Ripple, Ring, Orb or None for a Mac take. In Pro, Cursor › Clicks has the whole choice:
- Orb
- A glass bead that squeezes in under the press and blooms away on the release. Reads on any page.
- Ring
- A heavy ring that opens out and thins away, for when the click is the point of the shot.
- Press
- The picture itself dents under the press and springs back.
- Ripple
- A ring runs out through the picture like a drop through water.
- None
- Clicks leave no mark.
- Effect size and Effect colour set how big and what colour the mark is.
- Each mark follows both the press and the release, so a drag reads as one gesture.
- Bounce on click, for a Mac take, squashes the pointer itself on the click and springs it back.
