To apply a script to a movie
1 Open the movie to which you want to apply the script.
2 Choose Movie menu > Apply Script to Movie
.
3 In the Apply Script to Movie dialog box, double-click a script.
Corel Painter applies that script to each frame in the stack. If you have
few small
frames in your movie, and the script is not a complicated one, the script can be
applied quickly. If the movie has several large frames, a complicated script could
take a long time.
You can apply only scripts that do not create new images.
To set grain position with a script
1 Record a script that applies surface texture or dye concentration to an entire image.
2 Choose Movie menu > Set Grain Position.
3 In the Set Grain Position dialog box, enable one of the following options:
• Grain Stays Still allows the grain to remain in the same position throughout the
movie.
• Grain Moves Randomly moves the grain as the movie plays. To use this option,
you must disable the Record Initial State option when recording your script. On
the Scripts palette, click the palette menu arrow, and choose Script Options. In
the Script Options dialog box, disable the Record Initial State check box.
• Grain Moves Linearly increments the grain movement. Specify the number of
pixels you want the grain to move horizontally and vertically from one frame to
the next.
