How to use Hand Drawn Overlay

Bert_Speggly

I have just purchased a new version of VP and would like to use the Hand Drawn Overlay but I can't work it out and there is no help on this topic.

Some guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks

In the Clip Preview mode, draw on the preview screen with the left mouse button. The configuration box lists choices...

Hi and thanks. I got that far but what about the Previous, Next and Clear Frame buttons?

The drawing is being added where the cursor is parked.

Advance with the button or move the effect box cursor and draw again. In essence it's animating.

Experiment with it.

Thanks, I understand it now but it is not what I want. For an animated arrow I find that it is much better to create an image with a transparent background and animate it with the effects animator.
