"Add link” overlay function disappears when export

I’m trying to figure out why an overlay “add link”, which works fine-when you click on it in the edit mode, (it will bring you to a web page) does not appear once I export the video. Anyone have ideas on how to correct this? It is a fabulous feature!

I can export another overlay function, the title feature, no problem. The “add text” overlay also exports. It’s just the “add link” feature that does not appear.

Hi @bbeliz.

There’s no concept of a link in video formats, so the link overlap is removed on export. The links you see on video hosting sites like YouTube, those are added after the fact on top of the video file itself.
