I think you¹re actually after two separate things... The first is to layer two feeds (video/graphics/animation) onto each other in real-time, being able to control either video independently of the other. The second is an animation tool to animate your drawing - I don¹t know your john madden example, so I hope I understood right!
For the layering/playback I think you¹d have to look at some other apps outside adobe for that, I¹m sure there¹s something out there that broadcasters use. It¹s probably not right for what you¹re looking for, but it gives you an idea of what can be done: I use Modul8 (for visuals), one of its features being that you can add a layer onto a playing video, onto which you can draw. Whether you¹re drawing or not, the rest of the playback is unaffected... you can stop/play/rw/etc the underlying video just like always. If you find an app that can do something similar then you probably wouldn¹t need to pre-draw and get something to automatically animate your drawing? -- David Terranova www.davidterranova.com | blog.davidterranova.com | www.rebelrave.tv From: "J.

Let's say that I wanted to do a chalkboard kinda like John Madden uses when he's explaining football plays in instant replay. What would be nice is to basically just draw on the video and have some tool turn my real-time drawing into an animation. I have Adobe CS4 but I honestly can't think of a way to do that. Anyone got a good idea for this one? -- Rhett. http://www.weatherlight.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
