Effects over Time in Studio Artist

Geodesic
Watershed is another Image Operation, but this one makes your
image look kind of soggy. You can see the before and after images
below.

Processing
your movie with PASeq
One final note: I mentioned earlier that Studio Artist animations
look their best at about 10 frames per second. But what if the
footage you're processing has a higher frame rate than 10, which
it almost certainly does? Studio Artist gives you the option
of processing movies at their native frame rate or at Studio
Artist's frame rate. To make sure you're processing at the frame
rate you want, open up the Process File Settings dialog (located
under the Movie menu), and select "Timeline Animation FPS."
That's it.
Save you PASeq for future use by selecting Action > Export
Paint Action Sequence. To test out your animation (or do the
final processing), select Movie > Process Movie File with
PASeq > To Movie. Remember, this will not overwrite your
original footage. It will create a completely new uncompressed
QuickTime file. After you name your new file, you'll see each
frame of this great technique rendered right before your eyes.
