Q: I am filming a product demo. Is there an easy way to highlight one area of a frame?
A: We designed Magnifying Glass in Video Essentials IV to highlight one area in a frame and make it larger. This way, your viewers can easily see instructions or highlight a product or feature. You can choose a rounded or square shape and select the position on the frame. You can also choose the border size and color. Magnifying Glass is a great way to show text.
The entire Video Essentials line, Video Essentials I, Video Essentials II, Video Essentials III and Video Essentials IV, provides must-have solutions for your workflow. We like to think of it as the Swiss Army knife of editing tools. We offer four rich collections, each with 10 plugins and hundreds of helpful presets to let you “drag and drop” for color grading, removing flashes, adding a picture-in-picture, creating vignettes, splitting a screen, fix a rolling shutter, create night time from daylight footage, add a timer and even remove wrinkles.
We are proud to work with a range of editing hosts, including Apple Final Cut, Adobe Premiere and After Effects, Avid, EDIUS, Sony Vegas Movie Studio and Pro, Corel Video Studio, Pinnacle and Magix. Check out all of the Essentials solutions - try one today! See what the buzz is all about.
