  Capturing footage shot in stop-motion

  Posted by Cami Kidder on October 6, 2009 at 7:50 am

  Greetings,
  I have another question. In addition to the other capture problems I have already posted, I am trying to capture footage recorded in a stop-motion type way. Roughly recording .5 seconds every 15 seconds. The footage plays fine, like frame by frame animation, but it will not capture. The system looks like it is capturing it. The timecode counter to the right is operating, but when I click DONE, it says that nothing was captured, or it captures only 1 of the clips in the series.

  Thoughts?
  Thanks,
  Cami

  Maybe VidCap is getting confused by all the short segments?
  Disable Scene Detection (first option in VidCap under Options – Prefs – Capture) so that it gets captured as one continuous segment.

  Thanks for the suggestion! I will try that and report back.

  Cami, here’s one more thing for you to try.
  Options – Prefs – Capture.
  The default setting for Minimum clip length is 1 second.
  Disable this option and it “should” now work for you.
