Creating play panels
To create a play panel, we first need to locate a position in the video where we want to draw over.
We do this by using the timeline slider here:

Notice that the drawing tools are now enabled as well.
Whenever the timeline is on a panel indicator, the drawing tools will be enabled and the panel is highlighted.
3. Now let’s draw some lines and circles on the panel using the line and circle tools

5. Click "Add Panel" icon to add another panel.Notice the drawing tools are disabled again, and no panels are highlighted. This is because the current timeline position is not on an existing panel.
Now draw on the panel again
