highlight a specific player to be seen easier on the screen. Does anyone know how to do this?

There are a few methods.

1. Using VideoStudio to highlight a moving person or object.
2. Schindlers The Girl In The Red Coat

Here's what I did. I started out with a color block, on which you will chroma-key out, so I chose a lime green. I then went thru my fonts and chose the "roundest" O I cound find. I made the O fairly large and bold, and made it red. I then rendered this to it's own avi file.

I then brought this avi file into my project, and put it on an overlay track. I then chroma-keyed out the lime green. That left me with my red O on screen. I then resized it and moved it to highlight my player. You only need to do this before the play starts because the eye will then follow the player that was highlighted.
