Remove background plate from a pre-existing animation (no layers)
I would like to take a pre-existing animation pulled from a DVD (like a Looney Tunes cartoon) and extra only the character layer (ie. remove the background plate so that I can composite the character onto a video track).
It seems that this could be easily done, since the background plate never changes and there should be software that can isolate just the character. I would some sort of automatic process, or simplified process, other than going frame-by-frame in photoshop using the magic lasso tool to isolate the character form background.
Any ideas? Any programs out there that can do this? Thanks.

You can use the Roto Brush tool or conventional rotoscoping for this.
