You will be painting the source movie into the clone.
9 When you finish cloning in a frame, advance to the next one by clicking the Step
Forward button on the Frame Stacks palette.
Corel Painter automatically advances the clone source to maintain the
frame-to-frame correspondence.
If you have a Corel Painter movie open and you choose File menu > Clone,
Corel Painter will create a clone only of the frame in the image window.
To apply an Auto Clone script to a movie
1 Record the Auto Clone effect on a sample image, and save the script.
2 Open the frame stack in which you wish to clone.
3 Choose Movie menu > Apply Script to Movie.
4 In the Apply Script to Movie dialog box, select a saved Auto Clone script, and click
Playback.
Corel Painter clones the source movie into the destination movie.
Tracing a Movie
Have you ever wanted to animate your own cartoon, but didn’t know where to start?
The Tracing Paper feature in Corel Painter makes it possible to trace the contents of a
movie into a brand-new animation.
For best results, the source should have the same frame rate you intend for the
animation. For more information on frame rates, refer to “Considering Frame Rate” on
page 359.
To trace a movie
1 Choose File menu > Open, and open the source movie you want to trace.
2 In the Open (Mac OS) or Select Image (Windows) dialog box, note the movie
dimensions and number of frames information 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 trace the source into the new
movie.
