A very simple overlay question

Hello everyone,

I'm currently using the trial viersion of VideoStudio and I was wondering if it is capable of doing what I want it t.

I'm videoing a golf swing and would like to be able to draw a line along swing plane of the club during the backswing and another, differently coloured line during the follow through.

I can do this by drawing a line at the right angle for the swing in a separate graphics application and importing that graphic, but I was wondering if there was some way of achieving this more simply.

Thanks in advance

I believe you will have to do this in a separate application and overlay it in VS. VS doesn't have any "drawing" tools directly in the editor that I am aware of.

Thanks for replying GuyL.

It's a shame it needs to be double handled so to speak - all I need is simple MS Paint like capability.

On with the search for an editor that can do it

It may be worth taking a look at this thread for some ideas

Basically you are doing an adaption of the indiana jones style moving line on a map, or the handwriting onto a cheque, mentioned in the posts shown in the above link.

MSP 7 could do it with video paint. Unfortunately this has been eliminated with version 8. Now you need to buy it separately. It's called Video Graphics Lab. For info on it go here http://www.ulead.com/vgl/runme.htm
