How to go about some massive editing?
Hi, I’ve got an mkv of Night of the Living Dead in 720p, and I’m looking to do a lot of things to it, outside of chopping up the video, and I need some advice on how to go about some of this.
First, I need to convert the mkv to something else, without a loss of quality.
Secondly, I’d like to be able to simply draw on the video. I’d like to take my tablet, and go frame by frame on the video and draw.
Is there a particular program or workflow to accomplish that?
What I fear is that I’d have to export each frame to photo files and edit those, then bring them back into Premiere.
I have a weee bit of After Effects experience, but that would add another mess of questions and confusion for me.So, any suggestions on how to do this, or a particular program I should look into? I post this in the Premiere section because I’m probably still going to use premiere for the editing, and I’m hoping to find something straightforward to use for drawing that works with PPro.
Thanks in advance!

i thought photoshop had some sort of tool for importing video into it.
ANYONE?

Photoshop extended CS3 or CS4 can import Video and you can paint, draw etc on a frame by frame basis.
Importing this into PPro as a PSD file will work but be awfully slow to work with. Therefore use the export video option and send it out as uncompressed or another lossless format like the Quicktime>Animation codec.Cheers, Jon Barrie 🙂

Ah, that sounds like it would work just fine, I forgot Photoshop could do that. Perfect and straightforward.
Thank you much!
