How to add lines and dividers using shapes

Use the Shape tool to add lines, dashed dividers, and arrows to your video.

Lines and dividers are added through the Shape tool, not as a separate asset type.

When to use

  • Separate sections of information on screen

  • Add visual guides or callouts

  • Point attention to part of the frame with arrows

Steps

  1. Open your project in the editor.

  2. Open Media and choose Shape.

  3. Pick a line-style shape such as a line, dashed line, or arrow.

  4. Place it on the canvas.

  5. Adjust the size, position, color, and other styling controls as needed.

Tips

  • Use thin lines for subtle separation and thicker lines when you want stronger emphasis.

  • Arrows work best when they point to a single clear target.

  • Keep decorative dividers simple so they do not distract from the main content.
