  adrenaline paint effect

  Posted by Jack Entonces on February 12, 2008 at 6:29 pm

  I’m working on the adrenaline.
  And I need to circle a face in the foreground of the video,
  to make it stand out.

  Using the paint effect,
  I draw a circle around the face, then from the drop down menu I
  select “outline” to make a border around the circle.
  What i want to know is, is there some way to increase the
  width of the outline border around the circle?

  Another question:
  if I want to highlight the face,
  i select “highlight” from the drop down menu.
  But how do i put a border around the circle highlight?

  thanks!

  Hi, Jack

  My method is to use “paint effect” to create the circle (white or what-ever color you choose) Mode set to solid. – I usually set “feathering” to 2 to 4 to soften the edges…

  Then control-c (copy on the pc)… control-v (paste on the pc)… Grab each of the control points (of the second circle) to size this circle smaller then the first circle. Mode set to erase…

  HTH,
  Randy
