How can I add a hotspot to my video?

Add, position, time, and test a clickable hotspot in the Mindstamp video editor.

Checked against the current Help Center and Mindstamp 4.0 walkthroughs.

Short answer

Pause on the frame where the clickable object appears, add a Hotspot interaction, position it over the target, set how long it remains active, and attach the click action. Test the complete time range because the object or camera may move.

How to do it

  1. Move the playhead to the first frame where the target should be clickable.
  2. Add a Hotspot interaction and resize it over the target area.
  3. Set the end time before the object moves away or is covered.
  4. Choose the click action and configure its destination.
  5. Preview from before the hotspot appears and repeat at phone size.

Position for motion, not one still frame

A hotspot that lines up at its first frame can drift away from a moving object. Shorten the active duration or use several carefully timed regions when the shot changes.
