How to Make a Stop Motion Video
Stop motion animation is a timeless video style that audiences love. Travel back to a golden age of animation using real models, sets, and endless patience. The time needed to create a stop motion animation is worth it, because the results can be stunning. Pinnacle Studio is much more than video editing software: create your own stop motion animation using its sophisticated animating feature. Learn more in the guide below.
In stop-motion animation, a series of individual frames is captured from a live video source. Depending on your plans for the stop-motion sequence, you can instruct the Importer to integrate the individual frames into a movie (Stop Motion Project), or simply import each frame as a picture (Photo), or both.
