Shapes over video in tkinter - finndude - Oct-04-2022
Hi all,
I wanted to know if there is a way in Tkinter to simply play a video and with a button press, a circle appears on top of the video?

Use a video overlay. There is nothing in tkinter that would know it has to be redrawn because it had been "erased" by a video refresh. If you want to draw a circle over a video you need to make the circle part of the video display. I found several examples, tutorials and videos on how to overlay images on a video (watermark, text, icon) using opencv (cv2 in python). There are also several examples, tutorials and videos about using opencv with tkinter.
