  How do I highlight a moving object?

  Posted by James Thomas on June 18, 2014 at 5:29 pm

  I am putting together surveillence videos and I need to place an oval or highlighted shape over the object being viewed. I see this in many videos, but cannot figure out how to do it in FCP 7.
  The circle under shapes is solid color only. I can lower the opacity, but when I put motion to it the black shaded area around the shape moves with it.
  I have tried creating a circle in photoshop and putting it on my clip, but had no luck.

  Change the blending mode of the shape, MODIFY>COMPOSITE MODE, then adjust opacity.

  Thank you. That will work. I also found out I can use slug with a mask shape filter.
