When you record a screen recording with the Recorder App, Sync Markers are created automatically for every click and typing event. These Sync Markers are used to keep the video and narration perfectly in sync. Learn more about Sync Markers here.
In some cases, however, you may want to time your narration to a moment in the video where no click or typing occurred. Since no interaction happened at that point, there won’t be an automatic Sync Marker available to align your narration with that moment.
Common Use Cases for Custom Sync Markers
Narrating a slide or screen where no clicks or typing occurred
Explaining static on-screen content that doesn’t require interaction
Adding narration for something you forgot to mention during the recording
Providing additional context or clarification without re-recording the video
Creating a Custom Sync Marker
To sync your narration to a moment without an existing Sync Marker:
Play or scrub the video to the exact moment you want to align your narration with
In the Sync Markers panel, click the + button
A new custom Sync Marker will be created at the current video frame
Drag the new Sync Marker into the narration script and drop it on the word you want to sync
This allows you to precisely align your narration with any moment in the recording, even when no click or typing event occurred.
