IMPORTING VIDEO FOOTAGE INTO FLASH FOR TRACING.

[facquaye]

Hello Flashers: 


Does anyone transfer video into Flash as part of

his/her gig and how best do I solve this problem? 


I need to import some video footage of a pitcher

(pitching a ball) into Flash. I then have to trace

specific frames in order to animate the pitchers body

movement in flash. 


1: Do I need a Firewire (IEEE 1934) connection/adapter

to hook up a VCR to my WIN based computer? What are

the alternatives?

2: I have Adobe Premier 5 (just bought the Peachtress

press book to try and get up to speed). Does premier

lend itself to this kind of job?


I am told that TigerDirect.com also offers a consumer

type of video capture software. Any tried and true

methods out there please? I'm under the proverbial

gun.

Many thanks in advance!


Francis
