Lately my desire has been to be able to use movie layers as source for painting onto the canvas during a Seqkeyframe / PASeq - so that i am constantly switching sources during the painting of each frame. I'm trying to avoid erasing, i want to continually build strokes from the various sources into each frame so that they can be "woven" overlayed, intermingled blended etc. available to be warped, selected etc faded together per frame.
i was thinking there was a way to route layers as a source in paint fill setup, so that the brush would handle the source selection- but no - that's not the way.
then i thought maybe i could keyframe opening a new source, and have the PASeq do the source switching but that's not it.
I'm sure i'm overlooking the obvious.
any advice?

It's a little different that before since it doesn't hard associated a source image with a specific layer. PASeq contexts are just action steps in a PASeq script as opposed to being directly associated with specific layers. So when you switch layers the source will not automatically update like it used to. You'd have to run the source context action step.
You can use the recent source menu to quickly load your last 10 source images. So that's an easy way to switch back and forth.
and now - i'm off down the rabbit hole!
i'll try to post - i've been getting some startling material out of the sa 4 series.
i also have some little feature request/comment stuff, but i must organize.
i hope you are having as much fun as i am!
ah hui hou,
