Choosing an animation workflow
Corel Painter offers different animation workflows. They are as follows:
• Create animation frames from scratch
• Edit digital video frames
• Create animations by cloning
• Create animations by tracing
• Create animations from layers
Customizing an animation-specific color set
You can customize a color set for the animation to better control the use of color. For
example, you wouldn’t want the colors of your characters shifting between frames.
Using a particular color set prevents this from happening. You might want to set up an
image of each character with annotations to specify which colors to use in which areas.
Not all colors are suitable for video.
You can’t display different sections of a movie at different rates. What you can do is
create sections separately at different rates and then modulate them to the same rate
before joining them. This is the kind of work you’ll do in your video-editing application.
For more information, see “To set the preview rate” on page 797.
Frame stacks panel
In Corel Painter, digital video and animation files are known as movies or frame stacks.
Whether you’re working with an imported digital video or building an animation from
scratch, you can select and navigate frames from the Frame Stacks panel.
The Frame Stacks panel appears whenever you open or create a movie file and it must
stay open while you work with a movie.
The number of frames displayed in the Frame Stacks panel is determined by
the number of onion skin layers. A red triangle appears above the current
frame.
You work in one frame at a time — the one appearing in the document window. The
Frame Stacks panel helps you navigate the frames in the stack and choose which frame
to modify.
