Sports Highlight Video Editing

[Footballfan]

I'm making a highlight video of my son football games. I'm using Roxio Creator 2010. I have just about completed my video and I want to know how can I add a circle or arrow to highlight my son in each play. I'm using win xp if that info is need and a client pro 385 cpu.

WAX2 is a freeware compositing tool. It is a little flakey, but can do what you want to do. You could also probably use the freeware Cinegobs keyer to do this as well. In either case you would start with a png file that has the symbol (circle/arrow etc) with a transparent background (easily created in Gimp/Paint.net/Photoshop), and then just overlay it on the image and key frame the position to follow the player.
