Now this is something I would like to learn how to do. I'm pretty sure that there is a lot more then PD involved.

If you have done any rotoscoping, what are the tools that you use?

Thanks,

Ray

Hi Ray,

Last time I had a go at rotoscoping I used Premiere to convert the video into a .flm file. I then imported the .flm file into Photoshop where you can draw on individual frames. A good understanding of Photoshop and Layers would be handy.

Thanks for the response Mark. I don't have either Premiere or Photoshop. You're talking big bucks there!! I use Corel Paint Shop Pro for my graphic/paint needs.

I'll have to research a more economical way to do it....

Thanks again,

Ray
