Hi Animate Forum 

I want to create a 'Whiteboard' style animation where the picture is drawn as I speak. Can I record my pen stylus strokes in animate while I draw? Then afterwards adjust timing, frames, layers etc. 

There is a post in the forum from 2011 which includes writing code which I really don't want to do. Is there one button, plug-in or does the function exist in a different Adobe Program? 

Looking forward to hearing from you. 

Tom

you could record your pen strokes and audio naration in a screen capture tool (eg, tinytakes) and dispay that in a video player.

Hi Kglad ... If I use a screen recorder can I store each brush stroke as a vector? I'd like the brush strokes saved as vectors so I can work with them later.
