Next right click in the bin and create a new sequence, double click it to open it. Whilst selected, drag and drop them onto the timeline at the default duration. Then drag and drop the whole selection on the timeline and it'll put them in the order selected (hence suggesting numbering the images). If you've worked out how many fps you are using right click and select duration and change it to the desired length.

I personally think the easiest solution is to take stills of each frame of your animation and put them all into a final cut pro or express bin, preferably number them in order (0001.jpg 0002.jpg etc), then highlight them all and then either 1. Here's what we did, it looks terrible after youtube switched over to the widescreen format we're redoing it.again.so it won't look so bad, but you get the idea). Basically what you do is take your images or scans or whatever you have, batch import them in sequence to make clips, then you just edit like a video. When we redid it to clean it up some we used Avid Media Composer. For some reason we used After Effects to import the frames as batches and edited it together.

I did an animation a while back and basically did the old fashioned way of doing animation, photographing (on a tripod) each movement frame by frame.

I think scanning is very time consuming and makes it hard to maintain registration across the series. Then open quicktime and import image sequence - select frame rate - and its all done. Camera and quicktime Another option is to set up the camera on a tripod over your working area, and photograph each frame, (a steady set up and good even lighting from both sides is essential - checkout 'copy stand' set ups in any good technical reference), once all the shots are imported from the camera they can be exported, resized to screen res, and dumped in folder. Also you should be able to do this edit in anything from iMovie to Final Cut Studio, but why not try iMovie first, it's free after all. If you go the cut-outs on a small set, get a nice quality camera, I suppose anything over 3Megapixels will do, practice getting the framing and focus on your subjects and you'll come out with a nice product. You'll then have more options and control should you want to color in the characters. Practice scanning in your documents cleanly, perhaps making them vector graphics in a program like Illustrator, Flash, or perhaps the open source program Inkscape (I'm not sure Inkscape has this capability). Want to create movies like Wallace and Gromit or those groovy Lego shorts on.Д¬amera and scanner Yep I agree with the above post. Stop Motion Studio, the most powerful animation studio ever designed for a Mac.

This fantastic software works with Mac and Windows and it is the leading solution for stop motion animation.
