Hello, I am considering purchasing Power Director 7 Ultimate but before I do I need to know if there is any effects that will allow highlighting. I am trying to put together highlight films of lacrosse players to send to colleges and such. I need to know if it possible to highlight a specific player throughout a video clip. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That's really a hi-editor type request... so you have to "think out of the box".

PD7 has 6 PiP timelines.

I would import into Media library a previously created circular image - white should be ok. Created as on a transparent background - saved as a PNG. drag it into a PiP time-line then start editing with it.

I would then use it to highlight a player - using copy an paste to duplicate the image file when the player moves position.

Oh.. you need to make the image transparent.

How serendipitous,
I was just working on a circle/ring for the same reason! Join/SignUp to SeeMyWorldOnVideo. We're PowerDirector Video Editors. Are you a member? - JOIN TODAY!
