# Paint Tool

Use the Paint tools to create graphics, paint on images, and retouch clips. Use a matte to protect areas of the front clip during painting. Record, animate, and apply a series of brush strokes to a clip. Use the Graphic and Cut/Paste tools to create rotoscoped sequences and shape animations.
