# Draw arrows and circles on the footage

A sports and outdoors format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/sports-and-outdoors/draw-arrows-and-circles-on-the-footage

Overlay tracked arrows, circles or freeze-frame callouts on a demo so the invisible geometry shows. It worked for 4 accounts, with a median of 4x their usual reach. Type: Editing trick. Seen as: Talking head.

## Why it works

Viewers instantly see where feet, grips or force go. Dtbxing, Vuonglife, Pr3ttyboy Patt and Rosie Rollz use overlays on plain footage.

## How to make it

1. Film the demo or clip from a locked angle
2. Add arrows, circles or a freeze-frame at the key moment
3. Zoom in on the grip or foot placement

## Hook formula

Here's exactly where [grip/foot/force] goes in [move].

## How this is measured

- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
