Messing with Painter X

Painter X is a powerful application, but somehow it's also a buggy application that gave me so much hard time when user it.

- Strange disappearing of Frame Stacks
I found out a strange bug of Painter X: if you stopped the loading of avi file in the middle of the process, you will still get portion of the video converted into stack, but you will lost the Frame Stack Palette. In fact, there's NO WAY to bring bring back the Frame Stack Palette unless you quit the application and start it again.

- Frame rate
There seems to be NO WAY to specify the frame rate of the video being imported. The navigation on the animation stacks are also pretty lame.

- Import format
Painter X seems to be very picky on video file format. I tried importing movies in .wmv (asf format), MPEG 4, and other avi formats and they all failed. I have to use WinAVI Video Converter application, set the video encoder to Microsoft Video 1 and Audio to PCM, and convert my .wmv to .avi in order to import the video in Painter X.
