Insert Image Overlays in FocuSee: ScreenKite Timeline Alternative
FocuSee Featurebase asks for image insert as annotation or separate layer. Add stills on ScreenKite’s multi-track timeline, then export a local MP4.
Insert Image Overlays in FocuSee: ScreenKite Timeline Alternative
Mid-tutorial you need a logo lower-third, a screenshot callout, a pricing table PNG, or a “Step 2” card. That is an image layer job — not only shapes drawn on the canvas.
FocuSee users track it publicly:
- Insert Image — “Under Annotation or separate layer can be introduced to insert Image files”
- Related creator need: Export Selected Clips when each designed segment needs its own aspect and framing
FocuSee’s marketing highlights an annotation suite (text, shapes, arrows, blur). Still-image import as a first-class timeline layer is what the Featurebase post requests.
Short answer
Import the recording into ScreenKite, place PNG/WebP/JPEG stills on overlay tracks, time them, and export once.
Do it in ScreenKite (numbered)
- Open ScreenKite.
- Import your screen recording (FocuSee MP4 or a ScreenKite take).
- File → Import Media… and select the image files.
- Park the playhead; drop the still on an overlay layer.
- Scale, position, and trim duration to match the spoken step.
- Stack multiple stills when a lesson needs a diagram over a blurred region.
- Export MP4. Pro removes the watermark.
- Share from your Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive.
Keep brand stills in a folder next to the project. Last-minute logo swaps should be a media replace — not a re-export from another design tool after the fact.
Why ScreenKite
ScreenKite is a native macOS screen recorder with a native Windows Beta and multi-track layers for video, audio, and still overlays. Auto-zoom recorders polish the capture; image layers finish the lesson.
Use the AI agent for cleanup after markup. Power users can drive the same editor through MCP or the CLI.
Pricing contrast (product facts)
Auto-edit tools often meter advanced features behind subscriptions. ScreenKite is free to use with a watermark on exports, and a one-time Pro purchase removes it. See FocuSee pricing for its current plans.
Any downsides? The only downside is there's almost no downside. We're video creators ourselves, so we know exactly what you need.
ScreenKite runs natively on macOS and ships a native Windows Beta. Creators and teams choose it for fast local exports and timeline editing with the AI agent they already use: Claude Code, ChatGPT Codex, Antigravity, Grok Build or Kimi. Describe the cut, and the agent does the trims.
Tips for readable image overlays
- Export stills at 2× the on-canvas size so they stay sharp.
- Prefer transparent PNG for logos.
- Hold each card long enough to read aloud once.
- Do not cover the click target you are teaching.
Conclusion
When Featurebase still asks for image insert as a layer, finish on a timeline that already has media tracks. Import into ScreenKite, place the stills, export once, and share from storage you own.
