### 1/5 — NOT FOR SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS

*2024-07-17*

If your looking for an editor to add a graphic that follows and highlights a player, this is not it. The “square” if fixed in one location of the video and that’s it.

### 5/5 — Excellent application.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2019-04-16*

This application did not do what I wanted as far as highlighting me in a video an following me throughout the video I would like my money back.

**Developer response:** You have applied highlight on entire video. The application does have an option to apply highlight on only the selected time duration in a video. You could set your own start and stop time where you would like the highlight to appear. Please write to us on support@runisoft.com so that we could assist you in using the application.
