Hi all,

I'm a complete beginner to premier so go easy.....

I have an AVI and I basically want to change some of the frames in it.

What I plan to do is to go through each frame, take a screen grab, amending the frame and past it back in overiding the previous one. The avi is from a cartoon so it should be fairly easy. I know this will take some time but the frames only last maybe 3 secs at a time and I want to change 4 sections of the video.

My only problem is I have no idea how???

I'm using Premier Pro 7.

Cheers
 
Some possible methods:

If you have AE6.5 or later, you could rotoscope using the Paint effect directly onto the frames.

Instead of taking a screen grab in Premiere, export a frame using File/Export/Frame (CTRL-SHIFT-M).

Export sections of timeline as a still image sequence (BMP or Targa), edit frames as required, then re-import the image sequence into Premiere.


 
Thanks for the reply Akribie. What I ended up doing was importing the image as a bmp and added to the 2nd Video time line for the desired length and then repositioned it on top of the 1st video.

Worked like a charm, and there was me thinking I'd have to Export and Re-import every frame that changes.

Brill......
