About Paint Objects

A Paint object is what you create when you use the painting tools to paint on a clip. A brush stroke is an object, a filled circle is an object, an eraser stroke is an object, text is an object.

Once you create an object, you can modify any of its properties (position, size, color, opacity) and animate them. You can also delete an object—even if there are other objects on top of it! You can group objects, copy and paste them, as well as apply effects to them individually or as a group.

The reason all this is possible is because Paint is a vector-based paint application. The use of vector-based objects offers unparalleled control over the application and editing of effects on your video clips. It is this ability, the ability to modify an object after you create it, that differentiates combustion Paint from other paint applications.
