Drawing rectangles, lines and ovals
In VideoCanvas you draw graphic shapes as in simple drawing applications, with the addition that you can animate everything you draw over time.
To add a graphic:
- Move the time slider to when you want the graphic to appear.
- Select a track where you want to insert the graphic into. The track should be empty at the time. Alternatively if you don't select an empty track a new track will be created.
- Click the desired tool in the toolbar.
- Click and drag in the movie canvas to create the shape.
- After creating the graphic you can adjust it's colors and line width in the Attribute Inspector
- Use the Timeline to adjust the duration of the graphic
- Animate the graphic by moving the time slider and then adjust control point of the graphic. Colors can also be changed over time.
- You can add filters to graphics, just as with images or movie clips or text.
