write on effect issues
HI….I’m trying to draw simple drawings around a video – it takes soo long! So anyway – I succumbed to using the write on method since the screen capture method I tried had problems.
I drew a really simple drawing in photoshop – now I’ve spent 40 minutes doing the write on effect over it but for some reason when I am 90 percent done, it’s not working anymore – I can’t see the path anymore. I’m just painting over original and then before I render , I’ll swiitch it to reveal original. I don’t know if there is a button or something I clicked on accident? If I click B for brush it just paints over the top – I can’t figure out how to continue my path. I’ve even restarted the computer.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,
I did try the Video Copilot method using Generate Stroke on another part of my project which seems a little easier than write-on. Still haven’t figured out why write-on only goes so far and then starts erasing itself. I’ll get back to it soon and probably ask a more specific question. -
