Getting to know Video Paint
Video Paint is a special effects animation program that allows you to paint
(rotoscope) over the frames in a video. These animations can range from
the simple, such as signing your name across an opening title sequence, to
the complex, such as painting background sets and removing video noise.
Creating your first project
In Video Paint, you can create a project from scratch, such as building
background sets, or opening an existing video or image file to work on.
When opening a video file, you can choose which frames in the sequence
to open, rather than having to open several hundreds at one time. This
ability to partially edit video can be a great time saver and allows you to
perform edits quickly without draining system resources.
To open a video file for editing:
1.
Click the Open Video File button on the Standard toolbar to open the
Open Video File dialog box and select any video file from the Samples
folder of your MediaStudio CD.
2. Click the Duration button to open the Duration dialog box.
3.
Drag the Preview slider to locate the first frame of the sequence you
want to open and click the Mark-In button. Now find the last frame
and click the Mark-Out button. (At first, it is best to open just one or
two seconds of video until you are more comfortable with how Video
Paint works.) When happy with your selection, click OK to return to
the Open Video File dialog box.
4.
Click Open to open the video as a clip in Video Paint. Each frame of
the clip appears in the Filmstrip panel, with the first frame displayed as
an image in an edit window.
