Automate 'Trace Bitmap'

Hi there,

I’m making an animation from video and I’m using the trace bitmap option to give it a ‘cartoon’ feel. I was wondering if there is anyway to do this faster?

I have imported all the frames onto the flash timeline and am currently selecting each frame…modify…trace…trace bitmap…click ok.

Its very slow and boring, any ideas?

(also, if a similar effect can be achieved in photoshop then that would be great, or any video software)

Edit: Ok, i’ve sped at the process slightly by making a shortcut for Trace bitmap but its still taking me ages. Here is an example of what I’m doing…this took me 5minutes…just for 5 seconds of footage :confused:
