Placing arrows and rectangles in Adobe Premiere CS5 movieclips

In modern football analysis in TV-studios you can see the use of arrows and rectangles when the football experts are looking more closely to special situastions in a football match. Often you can get the feeling that the players in these movie situations are placed above the arrows and rectangles. In the football club that I'm a member of, we often record the football matches that our teams are involved in, and analyze them afterwards. Is it possible to place arrows and rectangles directly into a moveclip in Adobe Premiere CS5? And how is this done? Has this anything with the use of effects to do?

    Put an image of an arrow or rectangle (download one or create one in Photoshop) on a video layer above your video.

    Keyframe its motion to follow the player.

    Depending upon the type of movement in the video, it may be better to use After Effects for this.

    Thanks for your answer.

    You're mentioning that After Effects can be used for this, but what kind of After Effects? There's a lot to choose between.

    I guess that the movieclips will be paused when the arrows or rectangles will be put into it, so to use it above the video layer could be the  solution I'm looking for.

    After Effects is another program, which (as far as I know) comes with Premiere Pro

    Go to After Effects for more information

    It doesn't come with Premiere Pro, but they can be used together with Dynamic Link.  After Effects is included in the All Apps CC plan.

    Plan on allowing a lot of time to learn it.  It has a huge learning curve and is not intuitive, but is extremely powerful.
