Very nice information indeed.

Thanks...

Question also about program...how long did it take you to do this?

Maybe you could have a highlight race of the week and do the same thing explaining what happened?

Watcha think Drugs?

This is actually pretty simple and can be done without Photoshop, which you'd either have to spend 100's of dollars on or download with a crack.

1. Download and install IrfanView, a free graphics program.
2. Open the video file with IrfanView and play until you get to the point in the video you want to edit.
3. Stop the video (or pause) and do a screen capture.
4. Save the screen capture as a jpg file.
5. Using the paint tools, draw the box like Druggie did around the areas you'd like to highlight, using whatever colors you see fit.
6. Add text as needed.
7. Save file with new name.

You can do any one of these shots in two minutes or less, once you have everything installed and you know your way around the program.

It could all be done in the simple Paint program that comes pre-installed on most PCs, too. Basically the same process, really.

Yup. I thought about mentioning that, but IrfanView does a lot more for the average user than Paint does.

Adolbe photoshop, I heard good things about it and it is simple to do. I'm going to give it a try this weekend.

It is very expensive. You can do pretty much all the same stuff with the free program The Gimp.

That's all I used.

It doesn't take long at all. Just save the picture, draw a few lines or circles on it like the NFL commentators do, and save the updated pic.

Do you say "BAM", when you're circling a horse?
