Copy and paste

Copy and paste annotations, and paste images.

  1. Select one or more annotations
  2. Press Cmd/Ctrl+C to copy
  3. Press Cmd/Ctrl+V to paste

Pasted annotations appear slightly offset from the originals so you can see them.

  • Cmd/Ctrl+X — Cut (copy and delete)

You can paste images from your clipboard:

  1. Copy an image from anywhere (browser, another app)
  2. In hypershot, press Cmd/Ctrl+V
  3. The image appears as a Media annotation

Annotations aren’t tied to a frame — they appear on every frame of a multi-frame capture, so there’s no need to copy them from frame to frame.

Currently, copy/paste works within a single document. To move annotations between documents:

  1. Export the first screenshot
  2. Import it as an image in the second
  • Duplicate — Copy then paste for quick duplication
  • Offset paste — Pasted items are slightly offset, drag to position
  • Paste images — Great for adding logos, icons, reference images
