In short
Set the frame up before you record — the line, the space, the first arrow — because whatever is on the frame when you press Rec opens the clip. Press Rec: the timer runs, the microphone is on and you talk the moment through; every mark you draw now lands in the clip at the second you drew it. Press Stop and the take renders into a clip in the background — go to Export to share it, or stay on the frame and record another one. Everything stays on your device. iPhone and iPad.
