How do I do this?

I have an .avi file i took with my camera, and I want to take every 5th frame and make it into a new movie (or delete every 4 frames in between, i suppose). That way, it's similar to fast foward, but more choppy and unique looking. Similar to on requiem for a dream when they are in the room after doing drugs.

What program would I need, and how would I do that? So far I've tried adobe premiere and vegas 5.0 and I don't really see how you could do it. :o

Just cut our every frame in between. Premiere has cutting options.

I found a better way. first download virtualdub and avisynth2.

make a textfile called Input.avs and put this in there:

AviSource("C:\movie.avi")

SelectEvery(13, 0)

AssumeFPS(8)

Change the C:\move.avi to the source of the movie (it should be compressed iwth something. I used dr. divx to convery the avi from my camera into a divx file).

the number where the 13 is is how often it takes the frame (every 13th). the 8 is how quickly it plays those frames back.

Change both those numbers respectively :)
