Hi Hiro,

Here is a message I saved from Jim Antonopoulos, who apparently has a

successful routine for doing this:

I actually had to capture some video - saved sections of it as .flm (film

strip) and imported that into photoshop.

Gettting a clean black and white effect could be done in two ways.... either

with kpt 5's 'smoothie' filter ... or adjust threshold in photoshop until it

smoothes out to a nice b&w look.


I did this to the entire film strip and exported back out and into premiere

===============


I believe the next step would be to convert to vector using Adobe Streamline or

possibly autotrace in Flash or Freehand.


I doubt you'll want to convert every frame, as that would result in 150 images!


Another possibility is to drop the video and Flash into Director 7, using

Director as the shell.
