thanks! Worked like a charm!

The good thing about this is that it is stop motion. Part of the charm in stop motion is the imperfection… or mark that it is being done “by hand.” So the blend between frames has to look good, but not flawless, or else why even bother with stop motion.
I am working with large tiff files (3504 x 2336). I imported them to photoshop cs3 as an image sequence, and did a few frames in there, and it isn’t bad. I can toggle between frames and clone stamp from the previous frame in most cases. How would I benefit from using Shake? Will it be an easier process?
btw – the final edit will be done in FCP

do you know if there is a way to toggle between images in photoshop? I’m doing the rotoscoping in photoshop. I’d like to be able to jump between frames and make needed adjustments.

Wow, Thanks Walter…
I think I was trying to make this one a little too difficult. I feel quite silly. 🙂

I use this camera, but I did go with the firestore 80GB drive. They seem to be the most reliable hard drive recorder on the market. It works GREAT!!!
I usually record to tape as HDV while I’m downconverting to SD for the hard driver record. Most of the editing I do now is SD, so when I bring the footage straight from the drive, it’s already SD. But I still have the option of recapturing as HDV if I need to in the future.
You can chose the file type that the firestore records to. That is another great thing about it. I just use the quicktime codec since my editing is done in FCP.
I have saved countless hours already. I highly recommend looking at the firestore units.

Thanks. I’ll check those out. I just need a 2 second shot. If I had any time, I’d just go shoot it!!!

Wow, don’t I feel dumb! Thanks. That is what I was looking for.

I don’t have FCP 6 just yet. What would you suggest in the meantime?
