Steps to follow:
1. JPG_LAYER:
-Open JPG image in inkscape that you want to draw and color in videoscribe.
-Add this image to a layer. Let's call this layer as JPG_layer.
-Reduce the opacity of this image.
-Lock JPG_layer.
2. TRACE_LAYER:
-Create another layer. Let's call this layer as trace.
-Select "Bezier" tool and start drawing your trace.
-Use "Nodes" tool and fine tune your trace. You can also use "node handles" to smooth out your traces.
-Once done with your trace, lock trace layer.
3. FAKE_LAYER:
-Now create another layer called "fake_layer".
-From rectangle tool, create a rectangle around the image. Make sure that Fill, Stroke paint, and stroke style are not selected.
-MAKE SURE OPACITY IS SET TO 0.
-Lock the fake_layer.
-Now delete "image" layer and save this SVG file and let's call it trace.svg.
NOTE: We need fake layer so that all images overlap easily over another in videoscribe. If you do not have this fake layer, while importing images, videoscribe will change the size of each image to fit the window. With fake layer, each image is encapsulated to same area and hence, you see clean design.
4. FILL_COLOR_LAYER:
-Now, we will add colors. Create a new layer called "fill_color_layer".
-Add first color to your image and lock the layer.
5. COLOR_STROKE_LAYER:
-Create a new layer called "color_stroke_layer".
-Using "Pencil" tool, create strokes. You can increase stroke width to cover all area.
-Lock the layer "color_stroke_layer" and delete "trace" layer.
-Save_as this SVG. Let's call it color_red.svg
6. Now do the same for all colors in your image and save all the SVG images.
7. Open videoscribe and load trace.svg, followed by all color_*.svg images. You will have coloring fill effect in videoscribe
