<p>I have recorded some technical tutorial videos through screen capture. At certain points in these videos, I want to highlight buttons, text, etc. by circling them or putting arrows. An example effect can be seen here: <div class="youtube-embed"><div>
                <iframe width="640px" height="395px" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0u2BpzrwG3s?start=63"></iframe>
            </div></div></p>

<p>I know there are paid software out there -- Adobe Premiere Pro, Camtasia Studio, and the like. Is there any freeware that can help me achieve the same?</p>
