@Lundvalnaden

Rotoscoping is drawing over real footage. Feel freedom of creativity.

Star Wars has warlocks. This video is against God.

hey could you make some tutorials for synfig:D

[ildarakhmetgaleev]

as in any another tool. just sit and draw frame by frame over video. No magick at all.

[poklar]

How do you rotoscope in synfig?

[ildarakhmetgaleev]

all except nle and titles done in synfig!

[poklar]

so was the glowing effect done in cinelerra or synfig?

[Timeboy1408]

???

[SleekMan2000]

Nice use of Synfig! Never thought of it as a digital effects program. Are there any other types of effects one could do to video footage with Synfig?

[ildarakhmetgaleev]

there is not so much effects. But very strong core and nice plugin api. So if you extend synfig features it can be true replacement for things like Adobe AfterEffects

[sciencectn]

Did you convert the video to a png stream with cinelerra so synfig can edit it?

Because I tried exporting as a png stream with cinelerra and I got each individual frame as a png instead of one png stream file

[ildarakhmetgaleev]

ffmpeg -i myvideo.dv frame%04d.png

or

mplayer -vo png -ao null myvideo.dv

I had used jpeg sequence exporter from kino

Cinelerra can do sequence exporting too. I'm had exported video to png and then encoded it with ffmpeg to put it here.

[sciencectn]

Thanks for the reply.

I tried using kino and mplayer but all I get are hundreds and hundreds of still image files; is that what's supposed to happen?

[ildarakhmetgaleev]

yes. One frame = one image.

[sciencectn]

Wow. That's pretty impressive you did all that.

[sittiz]

very well done. how long did this project take to complete? Just the masking for the fingers seems like it would take a long time itself.

[ildarakhmetgaleev]

about 4 hours for rotoscoping and 2 hours to experements with color, rendering and editing.
