Well, Neil was asking about rotoscoping, not mapping. Load an image
sequence (any sequence of images with a trailing 3 digit numeric
specification) as described above. Then specify that sequence to be
the background (Effects window) and select Show Background in the Options
window. You will get a 1bit dithered representation of your sequence
in the layout window. Depending on your imagery, this should be sufficient
for roto-ing to. But higher level color support is really needed for
more involved roto applications.
