Working with animation and digital videos
Corel Painter lets you create animations frame-by-frame from scratch, as well as open
exiting digital videos (QuickTime or AVI) for editing frames. Whichever workflow you
choose, you can use Corel Painter’s Natural-Media brushes and effects to create or
modify animation frames. You can also use features, such as onion skinning or cloning,
in the creation of animations.
