Hi,
A long time ago i photoshopped frames from a video clip and set transparent layers showing through only me to make kind of a ‘motion’ picture frame by frame, but I have forgotten how i did it.
I have tried to search tutorials on the net but cant seem to find exactly what i want… a few things look familar but i just cant seem to remember the steps i went though.
Could someone please help me? Link to good tutorial would be swell.
The method i went through that i remember was getting the original pic, somehow i made a new layer, set something transparent and ‘drew’ it through the other layer, saved it as a pic, opened it and repeated with next frame from vid till i was done.
Thanks HEAPS!

If the video was taken from a static position, you should be able to cut out the person from each clip, and put them all onto the first snapshot, Like this…
- Open all frames into photoshop
2, cut out person from each
3, Place each of the cut out people on top of the first frame, each as a separate layer
4, Play around with the cut out people so they look like they’re in the right place
5, trim around the people so they don’t overlap
6, Flatten the image, and save as a JPEG or whatever you want.
I think thats how its done, I haven’t done any for a while
Cheers man,
Your reasoning is why i have forgotten lol!
I think i have sussed it… maybe… Will see how i go!

I made this picture last night. I copied all of each photo and put each on a different layer, then changed the opacicity or whatever. It didnt work out as clear as i would have liked as there must be a maximum of 100% opacity or something.

yeah, the top layers fade the bottom layers until you cant see them, so you lower the top ones and then you cant see those, its better to cut then out and over lap them than overlap the whole picture.
Well, i had a bit of a play round and it has all come back to me…YAY 
EDIT: Gilby, please delete thread.
pretty good!
