Hi, I'm sure alot of you out there are familiar with the star wars kid! www.jedimaster.net But what I'd like to know is: How is it done? The only guide I have says you save the vid as a series of bitmaps in Adobe Premiere (25 for every second!) then draw in what you want in every frame using Photoshop then put the bitmaps back into premiere or animation software. Whew! That method takes 12 hours for every 2 secs of video. Isn't there an easier way? A video program that allows you to 'draw' on frames? I have tried the above method but when I come to put the frames back into Premiere, Sony Vegas or Jasc Animation software it treats each picture as more than one frame, anyone know how to make any of the aformentioned software treat a single bitmap as one frame of video? Stange this isn't the case anyway! Cheers peeps!
this is probably the same guide you have, but it really doesn't take that long. my brother did it in a few hours. http://www.alienryderflex.com/rotoscope/
