Hello,

im looking to autotrace a series of frames, for moving image work, and was wondering if anyone knew if this was possible and how you would go about it

cheers

How are the frames formatted? Individual files? Or one file with all frames presented like a film strip? Or an actually video? What format is the file/s?

I can get the frames into any format necessary - tiff or tga seuence or quicktime / avi - even a jpg seq or exr, im just after the knowledge of how to batch a series of images with a saved autotrace setting... ive done a similar thing with adobe bridge (illustrator batch) but the output from inkscape is of a different quality and id like to exploit it if possible - im looking to upscale some production methods from one person to many so the open source route seems good if it works - ive been using blender professionally for some years now and its great...

cheers for responding!

Inkscape has some command line options, but I don't think any of them are for the trace option. Although, I think Inkscape uses Potrace which you might be able to download and do the job for you.

thanks micro, there's an old applescript for potrace that with a bit of macadvice i might be able to use to automate it,

cheers
