Creating a Paint Animation
To create a new hand drawn paint animation object, do this:
1. Click on and then to open the Paint Designer.
2. Select the type of brush in the Tools area that you want to use. Each tool
creates a different looking line.
3. Use the slider to set the width of the drawn line.
4. In the Color area, hover your mouse over the color band and then use the eye
dropper to set the color of the drawn line.
Or click the colored box beside the color band to select it from the color
palette.
5. Before you start drawing, be sure to set the Paint Settings as follows:
Brush mode: select to draw on the paint canvas with the selected tool.
Inverse mode: select to switch the paint canvas background to a solid color,
which you erase as you draw.
Show current timeline image as background: insert a media clip on the
timeline, use the timeline slider to find a frame you want to use as a
background, and then select this option to use it as a guideline when
drawing. The background image is not included in the paint animation
object.
6. If required, input a Freeze time in the field provided. This time should equal
the duration you want the finished drawing to be displayed at the very end of
the resulting paint animation object.
7. Click the button and then start drawing on the paint canvas. CyberLink
