Hi Jim,

>What sort of roto work? Wire removal? Masking? Paint effects?

Paint effects. I want to draw on and over the frames. Make things appear and disappear. And also to do quick and dirty effects to show others the effect I’m looking for. (like a storyboard)

>Have you tried breaking the video into an image sequence and editing in PS, then reassembling back into a video clip?

Filmstrip, yes. VERY cumbersome! That is my current method, I was hoping to find something better. Strata Media Paint was great.

>Have you looked into FilmGIMP?

It says the OS is POSIX or Linux, I’m running Win2K so I assume it won’t work.
