Of course, you could ignore the tutorial and simply create a circle with a big fat outline and no fill. (If the outline width is large enough, it will create a filled circle.)
Set the Start and End caps to None.
Add a Write On Behavior to each circle and set it to Draw and Erase.
Duplicate as required, changing the colours and sizes.
Offset the start points of your circles and rotate some of them through 180 degrees on Y, and so on as required.

Try this tutorial of mine for an interesting take on this technique:
It should help you to create what you want … and a lot, lot more.

[Scott Witthaus] “And if it worked as advertised it might be really cool.”
The cool thing is that you’re just a quick download away from discovering whether it does or not!

I think if you’re only looking at Resolve as a replacement NLE, then disappointment is sure to follow.
If you just take a look at all the other utterly amazing things it offers, and the potential it is showing, then it’s impossible not to be excited.
And if this is only a point release, what can we possibly expect next!?

Hi Brett,
Thanks for you post.
I think I need to have one final go at trying to explain this because I’ve obviously not managed to do so yet.
I’m not laying down rules, I’m not talking about what I like and what I don’t like, I’m not talking about style, I’m simply talking about effectiveness of communication.
You will remember that the video that I posted was an appeal by the UK-based Guardian newspaper for people to take out monthly subscriptions, with a view to sustaining a business that without that support might fail alarmingly soon. In other words, the single and only purpose of the entire video was to get the viewer to hand over their money – nothing else. It didn’t matter whether the viewer liked the video – they simply needed to be persuaded to act upon it.
So let’s imagine this scenario.
I come to your house, Brett, and I want you to hand over some money to me – and this is money that I really, really need. We go inside and we sit down. This could play two ways …
A) I sit down opposite you with my chair facing yours and I make appropriate eye contact – not too much mind, cos I don’t want to creep you out – and I say my piece and I try to engage you in the normal way that human beings do.
B) Instead of sitting down facing you, I stand up and rotate my chair so that when I sit down again my entire body is pointing at the window. Instead of making eye contact as I say my piece, I keep looking at what’s outside the window and I completely ignore you.
Which of these two approaches is more likely to get you to part with the cash that I so desperately need?
If you answer B, then I guess I’m just wrong about my intuitions about the way that human beings function, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say that it’s going to be approach A that stands the better chance.
Always assuming that you agree that A is the better approach, then this little thought experiment illuminates my contention that the Guardian video was fundamentally flawed in its choice of eyelines. They chose approach B.
The camera is the viewer – it’s almost too obvious to have to state it, but it seems to have been forgotten in the relentless quest for stylistic innovation or simply through lack of understanding of the dynamics of the photographed image.
Obviously this is an absolutely huge subject and we could go on forever analysing the finer points of it, but my example was super simple and to my mind the conclusion is brutally self-evident. The choice of eyelines was not just ineffective, it was fatally counter-productive to the single objective of the video – to persuade me to hand over my money.
Does that make any sense?

Go for one of the Uncompressed options if quality is very, very important – otherwise, I would opt for ProRes 4444 which should be plenty good enough for most purposes and will be easier to work with. Conversion through Compressor should be fine.
