Working with images in an edit window

The edit window displays the image of the currently selected frame in a
Video Paint project. Once displayed, you can begin working on the image
by selecting or painting over parts of it. At any given time, you will be
working in one of two modes: Composite or Paint Layer. Which mode
you choose depends on the type of work you are doing as well as the type
of effect you want to create.
To work on an image in an edit window:
Click the Paint tool on the Tool panel and start painting over an image
1.
in an edit window.
Switch to the Shape Selection tool and then drag over part of the
2.
image to select it. As you drag, a selection marquee appears outlining
the area included in the selection. When finished, move the selection to
a new location on the image. (This selection is now referred to as a
floating selection and appears in the Paint Layer.)
To better see the Paint Layer, click the No Source Video button on the
3.
Standard toolbar. The image disappears from view, leaving only the
background film color plus your edits.
Click the Normal button on the Standard toolbar to return the image
4.
into view and then click the Paint Layer Mode button on the Standard
toolbar.
Create another selection area, making sure that it includes your edits,
5.
and then click the Shrink Mode button on the Attribute toolbar. The
selection marquee changes to select only your edits, leaving the
underlying image untouched.
