Drawing on a video clip----John Madden style????

[johnrr6]

Is there any way to use basic drawing tools on clips in VS9.

I coach baseball and would like to show my boys video clips of their batting mistakes.

Would like to circle----draw arrows-----add voice narration on top of clips of them hitting.....kind of John Madden NFL style

Any way to do this in VS9???

Take a look at this site

and purchase the plug-in called "Moving Parts"

Thank you----I'll try their free download.....see if it will do.

I am playing with some software called "Pro-Trainer" from Sports-Motion.

And it is pretty good-----a lot of features----but it will only export in windows media----and the quality is just.....kinda bad....

Also----if you draw on a clip----it stays on the entire clip----all frames....

I want my x's and o's to appear and dissappear based upon the scene/setting-----not be locked into the entire clip.

Thanks again------John

Hi,
Try using the circle & arrow objects ( via Decoration) as overlays.You can then
re orientate & resize & position them.You will be able to alter the duration and
start & end points in the timeline.

I think you are definitely on to something with this technique-----I didn't even know those objects existed in VS9.

Thanks!!!!
