New! Painting Creator: This unique new tool gives users another way to
personalize their video projects. With the Painting Creator, users can record
painting, drawing, or writing strokes as an animation to use as an overlay effect.
For example, users can enhance a family vacation video by drawing their route
on a map and overlaying it on the video. The Painting Creator lets users choose
to create still paintings or animations.
Users can draw the route of a family vacation on a map.
