Post subject: | Free Stop Motion Video Software? |
I'm looking for a fairly basic bit of software to create a stop motion video. I have a load of images that have been taken of one of our build sites over a few weeks and I'd like to create a stop motion video of them. Ideally I'd like to get them playing at 30ish frames per second but iMovie only allows a minimum of 0.1seconds per image. Can anyone suggest any other software? Or does anyone know of a way to change iMovie to work faster? Thanks Oliver |

QuickTime can do that, at least QuickTime 7 could, I don't seem to be able to find the command in QTX. Hmm … Mark |

In which case you can grab your Snow Leopard DVD and install QT7 to do it ![]() |

Well I had a play with the images on my work PC using Movie Maker and it looks excellent. But Movie Maker only goes up to 8 fps for images. I have found a workaround in iMovie to get faster than 10fps which is to create the movie at 10 fps and then create a new movie and import the current one but increase the speed of it to 300%. Free is good for me at the moment ![]() |

Well... I'm importing them into iMovie now. I didn't think it would take THIS long. There are 18GB of images (17,000 @ 1.1MB each). So far it's been going for 2 hours and it still says 2 hours remaining and that's just to import them, LOL! |

D'oh! I'd forgotten to remove the Ken Burns effect before importing ![]() Starting again as it appears you can only remove the effect photo by photo ![]() |

Why are you using iMovie? QT Player can import a series of images at the frame rate you specify. MUch quicker to do than rely on iMovie to handle it all. |

QT Player? I didn't know about that. I thought only QT Pro could do that? |
