Drawing
Pick a tool by its letter and draw. ⇧ snaps lines and arrows straight.
Mark up
Draw a box round the problem. The grab, and the demo video, keep your marks.
Click any grab to mark it up. Draw a box round the error, an arrow to the button, a note that says what’s wrong, or blur what shouldn’t be seen.
When you’re done, the marks are drawn into the grab and the original is kept beside it. If the grab was part of a take, fab rebuilds the take’s demo video with your marks in it.
