Hi guys I have a question

I want to animate using video frames as guidelines in photoshop. Is there a way I can

1) Import a video file as frames/ layers

2) Easily do paintovers of each frame on separate layers

Obviously I can just insert the video frames as single layers and create a new layer over the top of each frame and do a paintover however this is a long process.

IMPORTANT
I want to beable to see the last frames paintover with the new frame underneath so I can see what I just painted while still using the current video frame as reference. Is there some way to do this easily in photoshop as the animation panel is rubbish

I want to achieve something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRZMjHzWXQc

HOWEVER, this guys has literally traced the frames, I need to use the previous paintover in conjunction with the new frame as reference. I am not tracing as such

I need to use the photoshop tools, I dont know if photoshop is the best software to use.

Thanks in advance guys

Photoshop definitely is not the software for this type of job.

I think you need animation software.
Two that come to mind are Adobe Flash & Anime Studio.

These types of programs have the lightbox, paintover, even bone movement functions.

There may be a plugin out there that turns photoshop into a better animator, but there will always be problems with creating something in an application not meant to be used for the task.

I think the effect you are looking for is Rotoscoping or similar. I don't think it could be achieved purely with Photoshop, it would be more practical with After Effects. I found this link but a general search on Google brings up plenty of grist for the mill.

Rotoscoping with Photoshop & After Effects
