Slick 6

Hilite Spotlight
The Spotlight version highlights the subject as if lit by a tightly focused spot. In reality, of course, the rest of the picture is dimmed.

A Spotlight slider in the Effects pane lets you vary the effect’s intensity from subtle to stark. At its maximum Bright setting, the effect produces a pure black background with the subject brilliantly highlighted.

A Configure dialog that lets you assign multiple keyframes along your video clip’s timeline. Each keyframe defines the size, shape and location of the highlight at a given point in time.

To create a keyframe, click the "+" button and a keyframe marker will appear below the timeline. You’ll see a preview of the highlight’s shape; the Shape popup menu lets you choose whether it’s a rectangle or an oval. You can drag the highlight anywhere in the frame, and resize it by dragging its small, square “handles.”

By dragging the playhead, you can preview the highlight’s motion and tweak the keyframed shapes for position and size.
