3 On the Frame Stacks palette, click the Rewind button to go back to the first
frame in the stack.
4 Open the background movie or image.
If the background is a movie, click the Rewind button.
5 Do one of the following:
• Select the background movie and choose Movie menu > Set Movie Clone
Source.
• Select the background image and choose File menu > Clone Source > [Image
Title].
6 Select the foreground movie.
7 Click the drawing mode button in the lower-left corner of the document window,
and choose one of the following:
• Draw Outside if you selected the portion of the image that you want to
keep.
• Draw Inside if you selected the portion of the image that you want to
replace.
You can also invert the selection instead of changing the drawing mode.
8 On the Brush Selector bar, choose a Cloners brush.
If you want to bring the background across perfectly, select the Straight Cloner
brush variant.
9 Paint in the foreground movie to replace the background by using the clone source.
10 Click the Step Forward button and paint the background of the next frame.
If your clone source is a movie, Corel Painter automatically advances the
foreground and clone source movies by one frame. The movies stay synchronized as
you proceed.
11 Repeat step 10 for each frame in the movie.
If you want to automate the painting process, you can record the complete
painting of one frame as a script and then apply that script to the entire
movie. This assumes that the entire movie can use the cloned background. For
more information, refer to “Applying Scripts to Movies” on page 371.
