Red arrow green screen

A bold red arrow on pure green, drawing in and nudging at its target, as a 1080p MP4. Key out the green and only the arrow is left over your video. Free, no sign-up, no watermark.

The basics

What is a red arrow green screen?

A red arrow green screen is a video of an animated red arrow on a solid green background, made to be keyed out so the arrow sits on top of your own footage. It's the quick way to point at something in a reaction, a tutorial or a product video.

This one opens on a clean, straight, bold arrow. It shoots in with its head leading, lands with a small overshoot, then keeps nudging at the spot. The backdrop is pure #00FF00, and nothing on it is see-through: no glow, no soft shadow, no fade. That keeps the key clean around the arrow's edges.

Want it to feel more personal? Switch Style to Hand-drawn and Shape to Curved for a marker arrow, and add a short label such as “this one”.

To put it on your video, see how to add a callout animation in CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro.

How it works

How to make a red arrow on green screen.

Four steps, about a minute, and nothing to install.

  1. 1

    Choose the callout

    Arrow draws itself toward a spot, Circle loops around it, and Click brings in a mouse pointer that clicks. Pick Hand-drawn or Clean, the shape, the color and the line weight.

  2. 2

    Point it

    Choose one of nine spots in the frame, which way the arrow points (or Auto), and a size from 50% to 150%.

  3. 3

    Add a label and set the timing

    Type a short label of up to 28 characters, or leave it empty. Set how long it takes to draw, from 0.3 to 2.5 seconds, and how long it stays, up to 10 seconds.

  4. 4

    Download the MP4

    Press Download. The video is rendered in your browser at 1080p and saved to your device, usually in a few seconds. No account, no watermark.

When a callout animation isn’t enough

The free callout animation is the starting point.

Here you get one callout on a background, to line up yourself. In Rescroll you describe what you want in plain English, such as “circle the price on my screen recording when I say it, then draw an arrow to the Buy button”, and it's designed from scratch on your own video, placed around you and timed to the exact word you say.

Questions

Red arrow on green screen: your questions, answered.

How do I use a red arrow green screen in my video?

Download it, put it on the track above your footage in your editor and remove the green with a chroma key effect. Only the red arrow is left. Then move or scale the clip so the tip sits on what you want to point at.

Can I make the arrow point a different way?

Yes. Direction has eight settings, up, down, left, right and the four diagonals, plus Auto, which picks a direction with room for the whole arrow and its label. Points at sets where in the frame the tip lands, from nine spots.

Can I make the red arrow bigger or thicker?

Yes. Size runs from 50% to 150%, and Line has Thin, Medium and Bold. This page opens on Bold.

Why is there no glow on the green screen version?

Because a glow or a soft shadow is half see-through, and a chroma key can't separate it cleanly from the green. On the Green screen look, or a blue screen of your own, everything is drawn solid. The glow only appears on the Aurora, Mint and Ember looks.

Is the callout animation maker free?

Yes. It's free to use and free to download, with no account, no email address and no watermark on the video. There's no limit on how many you make.

What format and resolution is the video?

An MP4 with H.264 video, at 1080p in the shape you choose: 1080×1920 (9:16) for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, 1920×1080 (16:9) for YouTube, 1080×1080 (1:1), or 1080×1350 (4:5) for the Instagram feed. You can export at 30 or 60 frames per second.

Can I get the callout animation with a transparent background?

MP4 can't store transparency, so the callout animation comes ready to key instead. Set the background to green and remove it with chroma key in your editor. If the graphic is light, you can also set the background to black and use the Screen blend mode. Either way only the callout animation is left over your footage.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The callout animation is drawn and encoded on your own device, using your browser's built-in video encoder. Nothing is sent to a server and there's no render queue.

Can I use the callout animation in client work, ads or monetized videos?

Yes. The video you download is yours to use in personal and commercial projects, with no attribution needed.

Can I match my brand, add my logo or change the design?

Not in the free maker, which is deliberately simple. That's what Rescroll's AI motion graphics are for: describe the graphic you want in plain English, attach your logo, fonts or a screenshot of your style, and it's designed from scratch on your own video, placed around you and timed to the word you say. Ask for any change in the chat. It's part of the Pro, Ultimate and Scale plans.
