Oh, the Quantize to Frame option? I always keep it on unless I'm editing audio anyway. I guess I work in a frame accurate manner, then? :o

It's not like Photoshop is the only image editing software out there. Some legitimately free ones include:

The GIMP
Paint.NET

And I'm sure you can find several others using Google.

uh you shouldn't be using other people's amvs for source footage :/ that is an easy way to piss people off and make enemies.

you could just get the original scene and chroma it like she did.

as for "screen capping each frame" like crackers said.... there's a nifty tool in Virtualdub Mod where you can export an image sequence (it saves TONS of time crackers) just select the part of the video you want and choose that image sequence option - its under "file"

Yeah, I know about that. The thing is exporting an image sequence makes EVERY FRAME into a separate .bmp, and not every frame in a video changes, meaning there are lots of duplicates.

Well dang...I didn't know that...
In the sense that when you scrub through footage, the scrubber doesn't snap to each frame (there's an option to enable this, but it never seems to work for me).

It's dumb.

Just use the alt-arrow keys.

I noticed that too....

Prolly not good to be posting and asking for help if you're stealing other's footage...

I find it amusing how it makes perfect sense you are encountering problems.

anyways... if you really must use someone else' amv for footage, it's good to be aware that pretty much anything you find on the internet is encoded using Inter-frame compression. Meaning that the information making up a frame depends on the previous frame. Considering how motion in animation works, compressing this way significantly reduces the file size, since you only have to encode whatever changes were made from the previous frame, instead of re-encoding an entirely new frame that is 90% exactly the same as the previous one. However, it presents problems when putting it into your editor since 'a frame' isn't really 'a frame.' Convert to a lossless codec like huffyuv before importing the file, and all frames will be keyframes. [where a frame actually is a frame]

[I can't say if this is the only problem here... but sometimes I like to type these things out to help with my own understanding...]
