How do Veo coach drawings show up in a presentation?

Coach drawings are the arrows, spotlights, and freehand lines that coaches add on top of clips inside Veo. Clubhouse imports these alongside the clip itself, so the same explainer plays back identically inside a presentation — the video pauses at the right moment, the drawing appears on top of the frame, and you tap or click to resume.

Whenever a clip has drawings attached, a small squiggle icon appears on its thumbnail — the same icon Veo uses in their own clip list. You'll see it in two places in Clubhouse:

• The Build Deck clip picker that opens when you start a new session.
• The Add slide → Match clip picker in the slide list.

If a clip has no drawings, the squiggle is hidden — most clips don't carry annotations, so the indicator stays out of the way unless it has something to say.

In presenter mode, on a video-clip slide that has drawings:

1. The video plays normally up to the first pause-point Veo recorded.
2. Playback pauses automatically at that point and the drawing fades in over the freeze frame.
3. A small Click to resume badge appears at the bottom of the slide.
4. Anything that resumes playback dismisses the drawing — tapping the slide, the play/pause button on the seek bar, the remote control's play button, or any keyboard shortcut that toggles play (Space, K, →). You don't have to remember a specific dismiss gesture; if it would normally start the video, it will also clear the drawing.
5. If the clip has multiple drawings, the cycle repeats at each subsequent pause-point.

If you scrub backwards across a pause-point you've already seen, the drawing will appear again the next time you cross it forward — handy when reviewing the same beat with different keepers.

Drawings are deliberately not shown on the slide thumbnails or the main editor canvas — those views always show the clip's plain Veo thumbnail so the editor stays uncluttered. The squiggle indicator on the thumbnail is the cue that drawings exist; they only appear during a presentation.

Drawings default to on for every clip that has them. To suppress them on a single slide (for example when you'd rather discuss the moment without the lines on screen):

1. Select the clip slide in the editor.
2. In the right-hand properties panel, find the Coach drawings toggle directly under the Caption field.
3. Switch it off. The toggle saves automatically and applies to that slide only.

The toggle only appears for clips that actually have drawings — clips without annotations don't show the row at all.

• Drawings come from Veo as-is. You can't edit or add drawings inside Clubhouse — make those changes in Veo, then open the add-clip picker and use Check for new to pick up the latest annotations.
• Only Match clip slides carry them. The runs and arrows on a Phase of play or Set piece slide belong to the play itself, not to Veo, so the Coach drawings switch never appears there.
• Pause-points are absolute match-clock seconds. If you trim a clip's start time inside Veo and re-sync, the pause-point moves with it — that's by design.
• Older clips needed a one-off backfill. Clips imported before the drawings feature existed have been retro-fitted in bulk; if you find one that hasn't, refreshing the clip from the editor pulls the latest data.
• Some shape kinds are catalogued but rare. Veo can emit text labels and freehand strokes in addition to arrows and spotlights — Clubhouse shows all of these. Any new shape kind Veo introduces in future is kept as it is until Clubhouse can draw it, so existing drawings never lose their other shapes.

• Squiggle icon is missing on a clip you know has drawings in Veo. Open Add slide → Match clip and select Check for new — the indicator updates as soon as the latest annotations sync.
• Video doesn't pause when expected. Check the Coach drawings toggle for that slide isn't switched off. Also confirm you're on a video-clip slide (drawings only appear on Match Clip slides) and that the slide is linked to a Veo clip.
• Drawing looks misaligned. Drawings are anchored to Veo's recorded canvas size. If the clip is presented in an unusual aspect ratio (e.g. heavily cropped) the alignment can drift slightly — the underlying tracking and video are unaffected.
