Rectangle elements allow you to add geometric shapes to your videos, useful for creating backgrounds, highlights, or visual separators.

​
Adding a Rectangle

There are two ways to add a rectangle in Clueso.

​
Using the Shapes tool

1
Navigate to the Shapes tool on the left panel.
2
Click on Rectangle — it is active by default when you open the Shapes tool. Your cursor will update to confirm the tool is selected.
3
Click and drag on the canvas to draw your rectangle.

​
Using the keyboard shortcut

1
Press R on your keyboard to activate the rectangle tool. Your cursor will update and the rectangle tool will be highlighted at the top of the screen.
2
Click and drag on the canvas to draw your rectangle.

​
Customizing a Rectangle

1
Click on the rectangle on the canvas to select it. The right panel will show two tabs — Properties and Animation.
2
Under the Properties tab, adjust the following:Layout
  • X / Y — position of the rectangle on the canvas
  • W / H — width and height of the rectangle
Orientation
  • Adjust the rotation angle of the rectangle
Appearance
  • Set the corner radius (%) to round the corners of the rectangle
Fill
  • Set the fill color and opacity (%) — lower the opacity to make the rectangle transparent, useful for highlighting content underneath
Stroke
  • Set the stroke width and stroke color to add or customize the border of the rectangle
3
Resize or reposition the rectangle directly on the canvas by dragging its handles or center.
4
Drag the rectangle element in the timeline to adjust when it appears and how long it stays on screen.
5
Toggle Apply to all rectangles at the bottom of the panel to apply your styling changes across all rectangles in the project.

​
Animations

By default, rectangles come with a Fade animation — the rectangle fades in and out during playback.
1
Click on the rectangle and navigate to the Animation tab in the right panel.
2
Choose from the available animation styles:
  • Fade — the rectangle fades in and out
  • Draw — the rectangle draws itself on screen
