How can you lay down video & draw on it

I'd like to be able to show something like John Madden does when he's replaying a video and drawing on it. Is there any way to do this with Vegas 3.0? What other software would be needed to pull this off?

Any help appreciated!

You can do this with a Wacom tab, Gary Kleiner is the king of this tool.
You can paint directly on vid with Ulead's videopaint. I don't know of a direct way you could do this in Vegas, there might be some strange workaround, but it really comes down to creating a mask to do it in Vegas. VideoPaint would be much easier.

With any graphic prgram-create template of solid transparent( i have handy 1024x768).The draw circle and save in png format. Open vegas. Insert video timeline and place your image above the clip where you want it. Pan/crop position your drawing and you done.

In other words - natively you can't do it in vegas like John Madden.

Besides - he is definately using some high end hardware as a video solution rather than a software PC solution.

The other suggestions I would try, if I were you .
