Deleting Frames and Erasing Frame Contents
When you delete frames, the frames are removed from the movie, and subsequent
frames are renumbered as necessary. Erasing clears the image to the paper color. The
frames themselves remain in the movie.
To delete or erase frames
Rotoscoping
Rotoscoping is the process of painting on a movie, applying effects to a movie, or
compositing a portion of the images from one movie with the images of another. This
is often done to make the action of a person filmed in one place appear on a
background filmed in another. You can also use rotoscoping to remove an element
from a video clip, as shown below in the frames from a short movie of an owl on a
roost. After the video was captured digitally, it was imported it into Corel Painter, and
the roost was removed frame by frame, using the masking tools.
To Do the following
Delete frames from a movie Choose Movie menu > Delete Frames. In
the Delete Frames dialog box, enter the
range of frames you wish to delete.
Erase frame contents Choose Movie menu > Erase Frames. In the
Erase Frames dialog box, enter the range of
frames you wish to erase.
