`drawing_list`

Renders an animated bullet, numbered, or checkmark list as a video clip.

When to use

Use to display step-by-step instructions, feature lists, or any enumerable content visually.

In the editor

Add it from the Library (Overlays group), or with + add step and a search for drawing_list.

It takes no inputs. Type the lines into items, which is a comma-separated field in the Inspector, and put a heading in title if you want one. style is a dropdown: bullets, numbers, or checkmarks. duration_sec is how long the list is on screen, and position_sec places it at an exact second (leave it empty to use the next free gap).

Set Output Level and the level parameter to where the clip should go, usually broll for a full-frame list. Colors live in background and brand_palette; the finer layout controls are behind Show advanced.

You get one clip in the run timeline, which you can preview and retime like any other. Lists with very many lines get cramped, so several shorter steps usually read better than one long one.
