Got it! Thanks so much--it's such a cool effect, those vectorized
movies! But after 10 minutes of so of sitting here vectorizing the
thing frame by frame, I'm wondering if there's a way, once I decide what
threshold and so forth is OK, that I can apply the same Trace Bitmap
conditions all at once to a series of frames... I checked the manual
briefly but didn't see such an option under "Tracing bitmaps". Thanks
for enough to get me started anyway, Tai.

Regards,
Helen
