    I have a video with a bunch of people dancing and I would like to point out with an arrow or something one of the people dancing. Is this possible? I have managed to edit the video to get the scene, but is there a way to put the arrow on this person cause they are all dressed alike and point them out for a relative?

    Thanks,
    cls99

    It perhaps can be done using VirtualDub and a logo filter - but it's a pain.
    The problem is that applying a logo - unless you have a decent editor - has to be done frame by frame - and that is too much work.
    What I did was apply the logo every twenty frames after converting the source to bmp files.
    After saving, the logo now flashes on/off every second.

    Here's a sample.

    I would try the Videohelp Site for some ideas - someone probably has a better method.
