I'm going through the Maya Fundamentals video tutorials and I notice the authors setup a hotkey for some kind of annotation tool (see attached pic). It's not one of the curve tools and doesn't seem to be one of the paint tools but I could be wrong. Anyone have a clue what and where this is so I don't have to annotate in Photoshop when showing a screenshot?

Yep. They use Camtasia I think. Great program.

Maya should add it to a future version...hint! Hint!

It's all good. If you do a screenshot and have to bring it into photoshop to edit the format and size anyway, it will only take a few minutes extra to annotate with the line and text tools. Null perspiration. user added image
