There is a version of Gimp that the Hollywood types have taken under 
their wing and modified specifically for motion picture use. It is a 
big league tool AFAIK. Perhaps someone else on-list knows more of the 
details.


All I can say is that this application (now called cine-paint) is
based on film-gimp which was forked from GIMP around version
1.0. GIMP-1.0 is a piece of code from the stone age. Lacking an
overall design concept, this code is full of bugs, depends on
unmaintained and outdated libraries and lacks any features that have
been introduced to The GIMP during the last five years. In my opinion
it is a shame that some good hackers are wasting their time on this
codebase.
GIMP 1.0?
hah...
And I thought, when I ran it, that the lack of options was caused by 
them not updating all the GIMP features to the new image models.

The GAP plug-in offers a frame-manager interface for The GIMP as well
as a feature known as onionskin. There are snapshots of GAP for
GIMP-1.3 available at http://sven.gimp.org/. More info is available
from http://wolfganghofer.tripod.com/gap/gap.html

You might be interested in CinePaint (before known as FilmGimp).  It's a 
branch-off of Gimp which is geared towards film.  One of the main 
differentiators with Gimp is that it has the feature you are looking for.

http://cinepaint.sourceforge.net/

Cheers,
Daniel.

[Gimp-user] Rotoscoping

2003-09-09 Thread tbaldridge
Title: Rotoscoping






    Can anyone tell me an easy way to edit a movie frame by frame in gimp? This would be useful in rotoscoping (like in the creation of light saber effects). I don't have ready access to the internet, so a e-mail answer would be nice.
