I love stop motion!! Great video straight to the point with lots of tips on shortcuts!!

[@StupidRaisins]

I love the BTS of stop motion films. So cool to see how they make it.

[@Dollectable_Dreams]

@@StupidRaisins I agree!! It is fascinating! Do you know Andrea Love? She makes animation with wool, needle felting. She has a channel here but on Tik Tok she has many more videos. I actually made a Tik Tok account because I wanted to see more of her work.

[@StupidRaisins]

No but that sounds cool!

Thanks, this was super helpful. I've been messing around with FCP for a while, but am really just a hobbyist who took advantage of the Logic+FCP academic license offer- no where near pro level skills. I've just been dragging and dropping into the library and timeline instead of using the import feature, and getting frustrated- dragging a large number of full resolution images from finder to the FCP timeline was causing all kinds of slowdowns and freezes. Using import, and e to add the images to the timeline works so much better! I did notice that after creating a compound clip, I can't use optical flow after making speed adjustments. My workaround has been to export to a prores .mov file, and then import the new file, and continue editing that way instead of using the compound clip. Is there a better way, or something else I should be looking into?

[@StupidRaisins]

You should add optical flow to the original clip AND THEN create a compound clip.

Love this. Will this work with fcpx?

[@StupidRaisins]

Yes it will

I dont get what you are doing to make every picture to one frame each.And then fix the duration of every frame. I hear what you say, but don't understand where to enter 1 and then press enter... Help me!

[@StupidRaisins]

Select the picture, press Control + D on your keyboard and then type 1 and then press enter.

[@yanistoyanov]

@@StupidRaisins Strange enough mine doesn't change the duration and I follow exact same steps. What could it be wrong?

[@StupidRaisins]

Show me what you're doing and what's happening.
