The Drag path is the most important feature of DRAGRI.
Dragging the mouse along the drag path drawn on an image enables you to move an object as if you are holding it.
Drawing a drag path is very easy.
Specify the starting point (IN Point) and the end point (OUT Point) of the movement of an object, and drag along the movement path with the mouse to draw a line.

These are the basic steps for drawing a drag path.
A drag path is created to follow the movement of an object in a video. You need to specify the frames which mark the starting point (IN Point) and the end point (OUT Point) of the drag path, and then draw a drag path along the movement path for the object.
Select the frame you wish to make the IN Point by moving the current frame marker (the double red vertical lines) to the desired position and then clicking the IN button ( ) on the Tool bar.
The IN Point marker (the left-hand semicircular marker at the top of the timeline), moves to the current frame.
In a similar manner, move the current frame marker and, press the OUT Point ().
You can drag the IN Point Marker and OUT Point Marker to where you wish to place them on the timeline.
A drawn drag path is displayed. If you use Play mode () and drag the mouse on the canvas, you can check the movement.
In Edit mode (), you can still confirm the movement in a similar manner by dragging slightly away from the drag path. (Note that dragging the drag path with the mouse changes the shape of the path.) When a drag path is drawn, the image or video objects in the lower layers are automatically locked so that they cannot be moved.
To delete a drag path, click on the drag path in the main window or specify a layer in the timeline window to select the drag path in the Edit mode ().
Select [Edit]-[Delete] from the menu bar or press the [Delete] key.
