Tutorials or e-books for rotoscoping & Painter ?

**Grundy** · 12-05-2008

I am in the process of producing a 5 minute short rotoscoped film. I am new to Painter x though have been told that it would be a good tool for what I want to do.

Does anybody have any links to good tutorials or e-books in regards to rotoscoping and Painter. Or have any tips.

I have imported my AVI (after my first little problem was solved) and I want to be able to paint frame by frame which I don't seem to be able to do. As the previous frame remains. I have tried trace paper and movie clone, still no luck.

I am very excited about using Painter x and can see that it is a powerfull enough program I just need to know how.

Thank you.

I haven't used the Rotoscoping feature for at least a decade so can't help much. However, there's extensive information in Painter's Help Topics that you can read:

NOTE: If you haven't already, I'd strongly suggest that you read the whole Animation and Video chapter.

Painter X Help > Help Topics > Contents tab > Animation and Video.

Click the plus sign to the left of Animation and Video, then click Rotoscoping.

On the right panel, read that entire section.

Good luck!
