The Frame Stacks palette appears, and the document window displays the first
frame of the movie.
When you open a QuickTime or AVI movie, Corel Painter makes a frame
stack copy of the movie. This ensures that the original won’t be changed.
Frame stacks are uncompressed, so you need an adequate amount of disk
space to create them. For example, a 1-MB QuickTime or AVI movie can
become a 20-MB frame stack.
Navigating through a Movie
You can select a frame by clicking its thumbnail on the Frame Stacks palette. You can
also easily jump to any frame in a movie.
To select a frame
To Do the following
Select a frame On the Frame Stacks palette, click the
frame’s thumbnail.
Jump to a particular frame Choose Movie menu > Go To Frame, and
type the frame number in the Go To Frame
dialog box.
