I have been trying a rotoscope test over the last few days. For those who don't know rotoscoping is tracing frames from a film to create an animation. I downloaded an avi from the Internet Archive Prelinger Archive. It is a good source of movies that can be used without copyright issues. After I got a source movie I exported a clip as jpg images. The process I used was to take each jpg and open it as a layer, create a new layer with 45% opacity, then traced the main lines of the image. It is a slow process but the result was interesting. The next step is to test other open source programs to find the easiest and quickest workflow for rotoscope animation.
