Add Titles and Chapters to a Tutorial Video

Chapters break a video into parts. Each chapter lines up with a segment, which makes a longer video easier to follow and easier to edit. The same design system also draws the opening title and the closing card.

How chapters work#

• ScreenDub creates chapters from your video's segments. There is nothing to set up.
• The current chapter title shows on the video as it plays, then fades away.
• Click a chapter in the script panel to jump straight to that point.
• A segment you delete does not appear as a chapter.
• You can rename any chapter. Edit its label in the script panel.

Choosing a design#

Open Customize, go to Edit & Overlay, and find Titles & chapters. There are 9 designs to pick from: Full Page, Lower Third, Bold, Glass, Light, Corporate, Editorial, Marker, and Terminal. Each one styles the opening title, the chapter titles, and the closing card as a set, so the video stays consistent.

Preview them live on the player. The one you pick is the one that exports.

Where the chapter title sits#

Choose the corner: top left, top right, bottom left, bottom center, or bottom right. Move it if it covers something important in your recording.

Turning the cards off#

Title cards and chapter titles have separate switches, so you can keep one and drop the other.

• Turn off title cards to start straight on your content with no opening card.
• Turn off chapter titles for a short video where they would just be noise.
• Choose the None design to turn all of it off at once.

Your brand on the cards#

On paid plans, your logo, name, and brand color appear on the title cards and drive the accent color across the overlays. See Customizing the look.
