John, >Can video clips be transfered to image files for rotoscoping and such? Both ways? Yep, with image conversion from/to JPEG if you like. But if your going to move a sequence to the PC or MAC (BTW you don't have to digitize full screen. If you are goint to use the images in a quicktime presentation you could reduce the size, up the quality, and still fit a ton of video on your hard drive.) your better off just staying with JPEGS since they are easily read and VLAB-M's straight JPEG inport/export is VERY fast (5 frames/sec). WARNING: I just discovered that my Emplant's setup program changes memory pointers in such a way that VLAB-M saw only 2megs as usable for the video buffer. Commenting out the Emplant setup line in my startup-sequence allows full access to all my memory. Now I'll see how high I can pump up the JPEG quality without dropping frames! …Warp Engine Engaged… -Paul-
