Introduction
Follow the instructions of video above to fully master the basics of working in Stop Motion Studio!
Required materials
Smartphone with camera and Stop Motion Studio App installed
How to do it
1 – Download the Stop-Motion Studio App and open it.
2 – Tap “New Movie” on the interface and name your project.
3 – Choose 16:9 movie format, and change the frame-rate to 8 FPS (less frames, choppier animation; more frames, smoother animation). Select Full HD quality and click “Create”
4 – Check your settings again. Here, you’ll find the option to change the frame-rate, video format, and quality of your animation if you want to try something different.
5 – Go to your camera settings and choose auto-focus, level your exposure, and zoom in as much as you need to (all optional).
6 – Let’s start animating! Take your first photo by clicking the red recording button once. To better animate, turn on onion skin on the left side of your screen to about half: this will allow you to see the frame before.
7 – Keep shooting as many frames as you need. If you make a mistake, simply tap on the incorrect frame and delete it. Review your animation by clicking play.
8 – Once you’re done, export your video as a movie file, and share it with the world!
