Tips

  • View Videos Fullscreen: Double-tap a video to open a fullscreen Quick Look window where you can play and share it.
  • Adjust Video Quality: Use the board settings to change video quality. Higher quality increases file size.
  • Create Similar Items: Press Shift-Command-N to quickly create a similar item.
  • Connect Items: On iPad and Mac, enable connector mode (the link button in the overlay controls), select an item, then drag from the arrow handles that appear. Or select two items and tap the pin button in the toolbar. See Organize items with lines for details.
  • Drag and Drop or Paste Videos: Add videos by dragging and dropping or pasting them. Learn more about drag and drop on iPadOS from Apple Support.
