# Callouts

> Point out something important with a label on the screen.

A **callout** is a small label that points out something on your screen, like "Click here" or "This is the important part".

![A callout added on the timeline, with the Graphic panel open](https://mintcdn.com/cutaway-docs/XxDikROkCqqX_dyv/images/screens/add-callout.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=XxDikROkCqqX_dyv\&q=85\&s=e3e951d2043157934c5a770aca3b82bb)

## Add a callout

**1. Go to the moment**

Click the timeline where the callout should appear.

**2. Add it**

Click the **speech bubble** in the tools on the left of the preview. A green **Callout** block appears on the timeline.

**3. Write your words**

In the panel on the right, type in **Text**.

**4. Place it**

Press **Click the preview to place it**, then click the spot on the preview.

## Other styles

At the top of the panel you can switch between:

* **Callout**: a small label.
* **Section**: a banner to start a new part of your video.
* **Lower third**: a label near the bottom of the screen.

## Add a sound

Under **Sound as it appears**, pick a little sound effect like **Pop**, **Ding** or **Whoosh**. It plays when the callout shows up.
