Hi All,
I'm a bit of a noob so please bear with me. (That's right, I said noob).
Anyway, I'm in the process of making a tutorial video and I'd like to have a way that either highlights a certain area of the video (highlighter effect) or the rest of the video dims all around that particular area so that it stands out as it's being talked about. I have messed around with the cookie cutter effect but really can't achieve what I'm looking for. Does anyone have any hints? Thank you in advance!
This requires two video tracks. Put the same video on both tracks, darken the bottom track and use the cookie cutter on the upper track to reveal the dark part of the lower track and expose the normal video track for your highlight. There are many other ways to do it. If this isn't clear, I can try doing a demo, but I use Pro, not moviestudio.
Another way to highlight a certain area and part of a videoscene with MS13. With Cookiecutter and generated Media. Following an object can be done by adding a few keyframes.

So, the idea is that you dim the track you put the cookie cutter on?
It works! Thank you all!
I suppose another question has come up. The video going from 100 opacity to less than is quite a drastic change. How can I have the video slowly dim to the desired opacity? Thanks in advance!
Actually, I just figured it out. Thanks everyone!
You can insert an opacity envelope or just use the fade handles on the solid color event, as I did.
