Overlaying something on the video?
 
How do I place an arrow pointing to something in the video? With still photographs, I use Photoshop. However, I have no clue how to do this in a video clip. Do I need to get some sort of plug-in?
Thanks,

Just find a pic of an arrow u like in google images
Drop in photoshop, remove background ( if there is one)
Save as png
Animate and size it in Vegas
Done

Norris, you do it the exact same way as you do with stills. If the video is moving around, you'll have to go into Pan/Crop and use keyframes to keep the arrow where you want it to be.
BTW, there are a lot of arrows in the Wingdings font which you can load (and resize as needed) right into the Vegas text generator.

edit: Gerald beat me to it :)
