Be it crucial notes or interactive doodles, your audience will see your on-screen markings as if they were overlaid on your camera feed, creating an immersive and engaging presentation experience." - Alec / Take One Tech "One of my channel members suggested this app called Video Pencil which I had never heard of so I decided to try it live on stream and see what it could do. After the stream I was so excited that I had to come and make this video" - Aaron Parecki "Video Pencil has fundamentally changed the way I teach, lead, present and interact with my audience in Zoom. Being able to see my program output in Video Pencil on my iPad and then telestrate right on the screen is HUGE! Kudos to Michael for developing an indispensable tool to enhance my workflow." - David Paskin (Torah Tech Guy) “I have one word for the Video Pencil app: brilliant! I used Video Pencil with Ecamm and I loved what I could do. So easy to use. I could actually see where I was drawing on the screen. I did a session for grades 1 and 2 students about how shapes can be the building blocks for faces and they were over the moon with the demonstration. My favourite moment was hearing the question “how did you do that?” Thanks, Video Pencil for helping me level up my virtual presentations." – Marty Chan (Author, Playwright) See Developer Website for more testimonials.

Pretty Good, but limited and expensive
09/20/2023

Guitar must-have
A good app that allows you to import a video from Photos or Files and then draw on it. However the video progress bar up top is not good for longer videos and you can only jump back by 5 seconds. If the way you scan though a video can be fixed (like a wheel with a speed setting like other telestrator apps) then it would be 5 stars, however $40 is still rather expensive for the basic functionality it has. Overall would recommend

I can’t tell you how much fun I’ve had with this app and using it to diagram out sports plays, put online courses together with a more “human” touch, and go all-out telestrator mode live via Ecamm. This app is one of the best values out there and the customer service and response time is fantastic. Highly recommend for all educators and sports fans.

Transparency Over NDI Crashes App
05/02/2024

Jake Kricket
Currently in my testing if I enable transparency only over NDI the app crashes and cannot reopen. To get it back to working order I need to uninstall and reinstall the app on my iPad. Everything else seems to work fine, however the primary reason I wanted to use this application was because of its ability to send the drawings only, over an alpha channel via NDI. Since that functionality is not able to work I personally do not have a use for this app.

Developer Response
Please contact me at michael@squares.tv to resolve this - I'm unaware of an NDI crash so I'd need extra info to understand how to reproduce the problem.
