  Stop Motion Frame Capture

  Posted by Matt Kordelski on August 2, 2009 at 5:24 am

  My instructor at college had us capture frames with Premiere by setting it so that tapping the space bar captured one frame at a time. We used this all the time for capturing still frame drawings and in posing stop motion puppets.

  I cant figure out how to do this in CS 3? Any ideas.

  (Yes, I should just get iStopMotion, No I cant afford even the basic one!)

  Premiere 6.5 was the last version to include the stop motion feature if I remember correctly.

  If you have access to a windows system, there is a very good free software called “Helium Frog Animator”.
  For the Mac, I konw of two free options –

  and “SingleFramer” –

  but I’ve never actually used them, so I don’t know if they are stable or suit your needs.
  “FrameThief” used to be a mac favorite, but I think it’s not been developed for a long time, and it’s not free.
  If you can’t find a solution I suggest you take a look a the stopmotionanimation.com forum for help.

  good luck 🙂
