Shapes and text tool

Bryan Burger

Ability to draw simple shapes (such as a circle, rectangle, arrow, etc), and type text directly on an item as a quick way of annotating.

This would be great - my handwriting is so messy. As long as it is easy to resize, reposition. the skitch interface was pretty slick.

Would love a text tool and any quick shapes to help annotate on a frame!

Does anyone want to comment about the need for a text tool that renders text onto the frame vs. the need for a spatial commenting tool (think "sticky notes")? How important is rendering the text into the frame?

Mike Jennings Both are really important. Even basic shapes like arrows.

Oner Vfx boutique: How would you imagine these to work in conjunction with the sketching tools? Merged into the same rasterized image or separately editable?

Bernhard Haux: we used to work shot by shot but some times 1 clip (scene) has a bunch of vfx shots. It would be good to have both options where you may select if the text is gonna be merged into de rasterized image or floating like vector graph as a separated layer so it can be edited.

Couldn't agree more. The thing I loved about Skitch was it's effortless ability to type and point with arrows instead of the janky handwriting-with-a-mouse currently available in SyncSketch

Absolutely, I vote for this too. I've been asking for those features since my first time years ago.
