Mini DVD Camcorder Issue.

Asked by Supergirl (1696points) July 6th, 2007

I filmed my boyfriend golfing on our camcorder that uses mini-dvds. He wants to draw lines on top of the image (for his swing). What program can he use? We have both a PC and Mac.

it sounds like you want to overlay a transparent image that has a horizontal line that extends across the top of each frame. not sure if iMovie can do this (i never use iMovie), but that is the simplest program and i would recommend trying it out.

Anyone else know if iMovie can take a transparent image overlay? i know that premiere (PC) and final cut (Mac) definitely can.

DANGER! do NOT use a mini dvd in a slot-loading disc drive (such as the kind on imacs and all recent apple notebook models). the small disc can get stuck and damage the drive.
