Hi! I'm a newbie working on my first real PD8 project, and wondering if it's possible to do this. I would like to display a still image for about 10 seconds of players on a basketball court. During this 10-second still image, I would like to draw some animated arrows to visually show how the play is about to unfold - much like how television football analysts draw out the movement of the players on screen before showing the video of the play. It doesn't seem like Pip objects are the right type, nor are particles. Maybe I'm wrong. Is PD8 able to do this type of custom animation?

Thanks for your help.
