Rotoscoping
I am a recovering Premiere Pro user who has been using FCP for about a year and a half now. I “hands-down” prefer FCP over Premiere, but I have one question…
Can you export as a filmstrip from FCP? In Premiere Pro, you have this option and it makes rotoscoping much easier. Is there ANY way to dump a sequence into Photoshop without having to export one frame at a time? Any plug ins that let you do this?

Export quictime converstion. from the format menu select Image Sequence. Then click the option button and set to Tiff, Photoshop, or whatever filetype you want. if you need to roto, why not use AE, or if it’s not too complex, try motion.

I’m not an AE user, and I don’t think Motion would do what I need to do. I have to modify each frame (in detail) of a 30 second clip. That’s 900 frames!!!! Yikes!!! I think Photoshop is the only tool for the job…

I feel you Brian. I was also once a Premiere user and I used the film strip export quite regularly to do clean ups in Photoshop. I wish FCP had some way of exporting all the image files as one file so changes could be done without opening every frame.
Here’s my question, how do you plan on moving the files back into FCP when you’re done?
