Framerate, Stopmotion Basics #1

[@AbelCarbajal]

When I animate on ones and twos in the same sequence, I enable the "step by holds" feature under the "capture" settings. That way I don't have to press the arrow keys twice for each pose on twos. I'd also encourage people to use the "black frames" feature on dragonframe. When you get used to it, you become much more sensitive to mistakes in the last frame, and it allows you feel what the next movement should be much more precisely.

[@edupuertasfruns]

I love to hear comments like this. Hope this helps other animators. I am not used to that black, but I will try if you say it saves from mistakes, good thing. Take care dude.

[@dinaaamin]

Thanks for all the tips! (been following them on instagram) :) .. What's the 'black frames' feature?

[@edupuertasfruns]

It is the 3 rectangles button next to onion skin slider in DF. It adds a black at the end of your play

[@edupuertasfruns]

If you have any question about that, USE THE COMMENTS!!! I will love to help if possible. Also, what is the framerate that you normally work with?

[@buckmulliganakajesuscuanti8771]

Hola, Edu. I will never stop saying thanks for these lessons. I have a question: what happens if i work with 3, 4, 6 or 12 frames per second? Un abrazo a la distancia, amigo

[@dinaaamin]

I still haven't tried animating on ones, kinda scared to try haha But I will one day!

[@edupuertasfruns]

It doesn't happen anything. I use 12 all the time. The only issue is that you cannot have ones anymore.

[@edupuertasfruns]

Do it, just for fun, I enjoy 12fps a lot more but sometimes it gives better understanding of the movement

[@edupuertasfruns]

@@thewisealien3536 I will explain it with more detail in next videos, but major thing, you can use twos for slow movements and ones for fast movements

[@hugaluga]

Fantastic little video! Seeing the side by side comparison of the different framerates was really interesting. I’ve watched many of your videos and tried to learn from them, but I’m still a novice hobbyist and I think it will be very helpful to learn more of the basics. I’m excited to see more of your process! Thanks for creating and sharing during this stressful time. :)

I've always wondered why I try using odd numbered digits while using 24 fps in my stop motions which looked really choppy to me and my audience (small) and I think this video really helped me out with that problem :)

[@Sweetmediallc]

Edu! te quiero agradecer por todos tus videos.... me han inspirado a aprender sobre stop motion y a hacer mis pequeñas pelis.... en estos momentos estoy haciendo un storyboard de un proyecto que quiero hacer. Gracias! y espero q tu y tu familia se encuentren fuera de la pandemia....Gracias nuevamente!!!

Hola Juan, Me alegro que estés trabajando en algo. A mi me cuesta mucho definir los storyboards jaja, animo

[@antzieisme]

Hola Edu, mucho gusto! Cuando era chica, mi sueño era ser como Tim Burton y poder hacer stop motion, pero por cosas de la vida no lo hice y me dediqué a otra cosa. Sin embargo el confinamiento me ha despertado este sueño y hoy descubrí tus videos y me están ayudando un montón! Muchas gracias!

[@edupuertasfruns]

Buenas Antonella, espero que te pongas manos a la obra y si bien no cumplas tu sueño y seas como Tim Burton, si que animes una buena historia. Un abrazo!

[@TopshelfStopMotion]

This is great edu, you inspire us to create better animation with every upload! 🙏 We tend to shoot for 24fps on most projects but that is probably because we are filmmakers that got into stop motion and were always taught that 24 is what the eye naturally sees.✌️Do you usually choose based on the project concept/ look?? Keep up the killer uploads!!🙌

[@edupuertasfruns]

Hey, yes, Deppending on budget and look I switch between the two. It also saves hard drive space to do it at 12. And I like it's look

[@TopshelfStopMotion]

@@edupuertasfruns Totally understand saving the hard drive space. Running out of Terabytes seems to be a theme now a days lol😂

[@mrhobs]

I have a feeling that to speed up something I animated I need to just remove frames where it floats too long (bunny hopping), but I'm wondering if I should try just speeding up tiny sections of the video (perhaps in Resolve), instead of losing those animated frames. Might look smoother than the rest, so it might stick out as being sped up, but wouldn't that technically work? IDK, maybe I should just take out the offending frames... does that make sense? I mean could that even work? A 24fps timeline in Davinci Resolve, but just little parts where the bunny is bouncing upward or falling down speed up to like 48 or more fps? (I shot it using Dragonframe, so some editing might happen there... not sure if I should move it all over to Resolve now, or do as much as possible in Dragonframe and then do final titles and stuff in Resolve... shot a little test animation, but now I got lots to figure out...

[@edupuertasfruns]

Hi, my approach would be to animate it first place in the speed or timing you want. Changing frames after does not change the position of the object in the air making it less even between frames, just erases poses. With this said, you can totally play with the frames or the sequence as you like, speeding it at a percentage if you want. As fas as you like it it works.

[@mrhobs]

@@edupuertasfruns I think taking out frames will make the puppet appear to move quickly. I shot at 24fps, and if I take out a few frames at specific points, it should just look faster, I'm pretty sure. Hmm... plenty to think about... I appreciate the response! (May try a few different things.)

Question here. I shoot 24 images to create one second but when imported to AF or Premiere it does not interpret it as one second but 24 fractions of a second instead. Same happens with 12 frames, how do I get the program to recognize it as one second? What am I doing wrong? Thanks for the help, great totorials!

[@edupuertasfruns]

Not sure what you mean, they are 24 factions of a second. When you export them it will make a file of all together. Also in af or premiere you have to set the length of a imported still image. Make sure it is set correctly

[@fr33f4l4st1ne]

@@edupuertasfruns Hi edu, can you help? how do you set the duration of a still correctly in a program? If 24 fps means 24 frames per second, then how do you figure out the duration of a single frame and set that? Does my question make sense? im very new to this

Hi Edu, I'm new to stopmotion, and still learning from all your videos... I use DF 3.7 with Canon DSLR, my question is, if you use let's say 4 frame (6 original fps according your video), so we put 6 on increment editor and so on? it means there's only 6 steps/movement for that particular second duration and we make 4 copies of that frame to make it into 24fps?

Hola! He aprendido mucho de tus videos y con este pude entender un poco más el frame rate ya que lo fui aprendiendo sola cuando hago mis animaciones. Pero entonces si filmo en “twos” y exporto mi animación final en dragonframe con 24fps, técnicamente es como si la animación fuera en 12fps solo que se vería un poco más fluida, cierto? También me gustaría aprender a cómo sincronizar una animación con los beats de una música o animar un personaje hablando, soy terrible con números y no sabría como calcular bien la velocidad de la animación con un personaje hablando jaja. Amo tu contenido, eres un animador y conocedor del tema increíble!

[@edupuertasfruns]

Hola, si animas en doses a 24 será exactamente lo mismo que a 12, no será más fluido para nada. Trabajar a 24 lo que te permite es introducir unos en los puntos donde lo puedas necesitar. Yo ánimo casi siempre en 12fps, y si veo que hace falta algún uno convierto las secuencia a 24 y pongo todo a doses.

[@mahmoudm8831]

wht is the program ?

does shooting in 3s make faster animation (like the video plays faster) than 2s and 2s is faster than 1s?
