I need help in loading a filmstrip into Photoshop. I have iMovie and was wondering if there was any other way to load a filmstrip into Photoshop without using Premiere(which i don't have)? Is there any way to export my movie? I've tried but not been successful. I'm doing a lightsaber effect. So far I've exported my movie frame by frame and doctored them in photoshop, picture by picture. It sucks taking so much time-about 4 hours for 20 frames- but looks really good. PLEASE HELP ME.Zumdahl |

you are not making much sence. First you say you cant export as film strip, but then you say you did and then edited in photoshop,, so which is it?
Also if it took you 4 hours to do 20 frames then you have some serious problems. |

I CANNOT IMPORT MY MOVIE ON IMOVIE THAT IS ALREADY A STRIP INTO PHOTOSHOP as a STRIP!!! What I am able to do is import still frames- not a strip. In other words I can import pictures from my movie frame by frame and then touch them up in photoshop picture by picture. Unlike a film strip where you can rotoscope the whole strip in one swipe. I have to do the steps to make the light sabers on EVERY picture I import. SO IS THERE ANY WAY that I can import my FILM STRIP from iMovie into photoshop AS A STRIP. Keep in mind that I have already tried to open my iMovie film as FILMSTRIP, but it didn't work

Dude rotoscoping is the process of "doctoring up" each frame. How else where you planning on doing a lighsaber? You edit each frame, its a bitch, but its pretty much the only way.
Any who, dont use Imovie, i guess thats your big problem. Who makes Imovie? Never heard of it.
Id say get Premiere, or look at Imovies site and see if there is some sort of plugin. But if can export each frame, which you said you can, thats all you need to do. |

Ohh waite, do you mean that you can import one single frame from your movie, do your think, export that one frame, and then open the next frame? As in you export as a Gif sequence? Oh crap that must suck. |

That is exactly what I mean, and Yes it sucks. I think I'm going to get Premiere because i don't have enough patience. iMovie came with my iMac DV special edition. So I'm sort of pissed that they gave me a program that really isn't that useful.
