Animation over video?

Question

I have a video of a guy doing push ups. On that video I want to be able to draw some lines showing what angles the arms should be at when the guy is down and up. The lines should follow the guy on screen as he doing the exercise to show the viewers the correct way of doing the exercise.Can anyone suggest any software that I will be able to use to achieve this effect? I have looked at Final Cut Pro but it is unclear if I can draw primitives (lines, circles etc.) with this package on screen.

Answer 1

I haven't done it before but you should be able to accomplish this with After Effects. You may be able to use DaVinci Resolve as a free alternative.

I think you just need to track individual points (elbows, shoulders, arms, hands) and keyframe changes as needed. I don't currently work with motion graphics so that's the extent of my knowledge.

Hope that helps!
