Corel Painter 437
you can create a different
correspondence by choosing other
frames before setting the movie clone
source. For example, if the current
frame of the clone movie is frame 1
and the current frame of the source
movie is frame 5, the correspondence
would be 1-5, 2-6, 3-7. This means
that the source for frame 1 in the clone
movie is frame 5 in the source movie,
and so on.
For information on cloning brushes,
refer to “Cloning Imagery” on
page 187.
You can control the areas cloned by
setting up a selection in the clone
movie. For complete information on
creating selections, refer to “Working
with Selections” on page 203.
Additionally, you can use Auto Clone
to do the cloning. You can also record
an Auto Clone script and apply the
script to the new movie with a Cloner
brush selected. For more information
about using Auto Clone, refer to “Auto
Clone” on page 301 or “Using Auto
Clone” on page 191. For information
about working with scripts, refer to
“Recording Scripts” on page 417.

Corel Painter automatically
advances the clone source to
maintain the frame-to-frame
correspondence.

Tracing a Movie
Have you ever wanted to animate
your own cartoon, but didn’t know
where to start? The Tracing Paper
feature in Corel Painter makes it
possible to trace the contents of a
movie into a brand-new animated
feature. This is particularly useful
with video as the source.
