Cloning a Movie
Cloning from one movie to another is almost like cloning from one image to another.
The only difference is that you are cloning from one sequence of frames to another
sequence of frames. In this case, by advancing one frame in the clone frame stack,
Corel Painter automatically advances one frame in the source frame stack.
When you set a movie clone source, the current frame in the clone is matched to the
current frame in the source. If both movies are rewound to frame 1, the
clone-to-source correspondence is 1-1, 2-2, 3-3. This means that the source for frame 1
in the clone movie is frame 1 in the source movie, and so on. If you like, 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 Images” on page 273.
You can control the areas cloned by setting up a selection in the clone movie. For
complete information on creating selections, refer to “Selections” in the Help.
You can also use Auto Clone to do the cloning, or you can 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 “Using Auto Clone” in the Help. For
information about working with scripts, refer to “Recording Scripts” in the Help.
To clone a movie
1 Choose File menu > Open, and open the source movie you want to clone.
2 In the Open (Mac OS) or Select Image (Windows) dialog box, note the information
on movie dimensions and number of frames given under the thumbnail window,
and click Open.
3 Create a new movie with the same dimensions and number of frames as the source.
With these two frame stacks open, you’re ready to clone the source into the new
movie.
4 Select frame 1 of the new movie.
5 With the source movie selected, choose the first frame you want to clone.
6 Choose Movie menu > Set Movie Clone Source.
7 Select the new movie.
8 Using any Cloner brush, paint on the document window.
