How to draw precise objects with paint designer

Paint designer allows you to record animated drawing and place it on the screen. But if your hand moves the paintbrush awkwardly, it will show. We show you how to make it look like you are drawing an object, but while actually tracing an object that you already have available. And we add some tips related to masking and achieving a different reveal effect as well.

This is actually a good demonstration of how powerful the set of tools in PD really is. Just imagine what you want, and with some ingenuity, you can make it happen!

Don,
You are correct. There are some surprising tools tucked into this program. It's not just a vanilla NLE. --Jim

How sis you make the backwards "E" to stretch the clip's time?

[@mark_barrentine]

Must have been from a recent update (PD 365). I just dropped a color board and a jpeg and in both cases hovering over the end of the clip the mouse changed from a pointer to the backward E.

[@SharperTurtle]

That's a new mouse pointer feature that is part of the update. What do you think of it, Chris? --Jim
