• Answer:

  If you want to make stop motion animation, then you should probably ignore all these other suggestions and use actual stop motion software. Neither Windows Movie Maker or Windows Photostory were designed with frame by frame animation as a primary function in mind, and have limitations on how short you can make a still image last onscreen (which leads to choppy looking animation). To actually frame-grab and compile the movie, I'd suggest using Monkeyjam if you're on a PC. It's free. http://www.giantscreamingrobotmonkeys.com/monkeyjam/ AnimatorDV: Simple+ became freeware. http://www.animatordv.com/download7 If you're on a Mac, you could try Framethief or FramebyFrame. http://www.framethief.com/ http://web.mac.com/philipp.brendel/Software/FrameByFrame.html With any of these programs you can set the framerate of your video, and how long each image lasts onscreen (even as little as one frame). This amount of control will help your stop-motion look less slow and less choppy.
