Fun with Filmstrips

An often over looked tool which can often come in handy, especially for those that want to rotoscope but their intimidation leads them away from going to After Effects to do so. What happens when you export in filmstrip format is that you create a very long picture of each frame in your movie. From here you can edit frame by frame, which may be a tad tedious to those fluent editing dynamically in After Effects.

First open Premiere. Lay your clip down in the timeline as normal. Please note that you may want to keep your audio track as filmstrips are a image file and don't hold audio properties.
Now go to File>Export>Movie
Now choose your file name and click settings.
Now for 'File Type' select 'Filmstrip'. At this point you may want to lower your frame rate, because when you're editing frame by frame the difference between 29.97fps and 15 is twice the productivity with a little sacrifice of smoothness. Now hit ok to export.
At this point open up Photoshop and open the file. It should look similar to this...
Hit Ctrl++ a few times to zoom in and viola, you have everything there frame by frame to edit at your disposal.

From here on out the rest is up to you, anything you can think of to edit a single picture now you can do to many, obviously this is time consuming work, but if you have plenty of patience and little life then this will be perfect for you till you get fluent working in After Effects or a similar program.
