# Is this done Frame by frame?
i attempted something like this, but i had to export 308 JPGs to modify each in a seperate program, and it still looked like poo

# try flash
import the video and then use layers to add what ever you want :)

# Flash has shit
for artistic tools
i used Flash to export the JPGS, Fireworks to do the artsy stuff, and Flash to recompile the sequence. looked like shit

# could you not
do a frame of the artsy, in fireworks, then copy that over to flash and re-use, for each frame

# well
i could, but would still have to export the JPG sequence for it just to make a custom layer to overlay the original frames. i am getting Adobe premier tomorrw. this is too much trouble

# You could try
having the video on one flash layer and creating the lightsabre as a seperate flash object on a new layer and tween it to match the movement of the video.

That's how I did the donkey/shoes thing in my profile.

# I sold one of my guitars
about a year ago as I needed the cash.

It was a lovely big Epiphone Broadway - I hardly ever played the thing, but it still hurt to let it go.

# I used imageready
opened the original video file which opens each frame as a layer - you can add and edit stuff as you require.

It's time consuming, but you don't need 308 frames for a board animation - you'll never get something that big small enough in filesize to post on the board (unless you reduce it down to 2 colours or something)

Try finding small snippets that loop nicely and you can lose a lot of the frames until you have something easy to work with.
