Corel Painter 421
the movie. This is a great way of
creating special effects for your
movies.
For more information about creating
movies, see “Creating a Movie” on
page 425.
If the script was recorded to be
resolution-independent, you can
replay your session into a movie with
different dimensions. For additional
information, refer to “Replaying a
Script at a New Resolution” on
page 418.
If the script is not resolution-
independent and the new image
window is larger, the script plays back
in the upper-left corner of the movie.
If the new image is smaller than the
script dimensions, only the upper-left
portion of the scripted session appears
in the movie.
To replay a script into a movie:
1 On the Scripts palette, click the
Script selector arrow and choose a
script.
2 Open a new image at the size you
want the movie to be.
3 On the Scripts palette, click the
palette menu arrow and choose
Script Options.
4 In the
Script Options dialog box,
enable Save Frames on Playback.
This is the option that directs
Corel Painter to create a movie on
playback.
5 Choose how many tenths of a
second you want between frames.
The lower the number, the more
frequently a frame is created and
the more fluid the movie is. More
frames, however, use more disk
space.
6 On the Scripts palette, click Play.
7 In the Enter Movie Name dialog
box, type a name, choose a
destination folder, and click Save.
8 In the New Frame Stack dialog
box, choose the number of layers of
onion skin and the storage type
you want. Corel Painter plays the
script into the frame stack.
Note
•
Not all actions can be converted into a
movie. For example, a script that contains
a File menu > New command will not
be converted properly.
