Sorry if it's off-topic, but I've noticed some of you guys have traditional background. I've asked this question on several animation boards and wasn't able to come up with a solution.
The place I work for needs a pencil-testing setup that would let students capture their drawings from an analog camera, adjust timing and preview on the computer monitor as well as NTSC monitor. Then output to videotape. Right now we are using a very old DPS PAR (personal animation recorder) that is almost dead.
I looked into several solutions, and the only one that kind of worked was capturing with Premiere through Dazzle DV bridge and outputting the same way. The drawbacks are that in Premiere it's hard to stretch an individual frame over 2 or 3 frames(something that they need to do) and Dazzle has to be switched manually sometimes from in to out.
Capturing with StopMotion Pro also worked, but it crashed too often and it couldn't output to NTSC.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
