INSTRUCTIONS FOR SHOOTING:

• Beware of blurry images and ensure focus.

• Pay attention to the stability of your camera and set design.
• Lighting must remain steady and sufficient.
• Respect fluidity of movements (adhering to the trajectory of movement,
millimeter by millimeter).
• Avoid tracking shots and zoom in/out.
• Maintain strong storytelling and articulated narration rhythm.
• Don't forget finalization details: title, film credits, transitions.

TIPS for PREMIERE PRO:

Launch Adobe Premiere Pro
Create a new project.
Import your stop motion JPG files into the project panel by dragging them from
your file explorer or using the import function. Import images from your
Stopmotion Studio App in JPG format onto your Desktop, then import them
into the PROJECT Folder in Premiere Pro. Select the images from the first to the
last and drag them onto the Timeline on the Video track.
Organize Your Clips:
Arrange your clips in the desired order by dragging them onto the timeline in
the sequence panel.
If encountering format issues with the images in the sequence visualization,
select images, right-click, then choose Scale to Frame Size.
Adjust Sequence Settings:
Ensure sequence settings match the resolution and frame rate of your stop
motion clips. Adjust this under Preferences > General > Timeline > Set duration
to 0.10 seconds (10 images per second).
Edit Your Clips:
Trim and edit your stop motion clips as needed by cutting, cropping, or
adjusting duration on the timeline.
To adjust image length without affecting the previous images' length, use the
Ripple Edit Tool. Click on it to see a yellow arrow appear, allowing you to adjust
length precisely for pacing.
If changing speed for all frames at once, set it before placing them on the
timeline: select all images, go to Clip > Nest > Name it, then adjust speed
duration (percentage) by right-clicking.
Add Transitions:
For transitions between stop motion clips, like fades or dissolves, use the
effects panel. Navigate to Effects > Video Transitions > Dissolve > Dip to Black
or Dip to White.
Add Audio:
Import audio tracks to accompany your stop motion. Place them on the
timeline beneath video clips.
To import MP3 audio files, first export them from your free sound effect library
onto your Desktop, then import them into the Adobe Project and place them
on the Audio track of the Timeline. You can find a free and rich sound library at
>> https://www.freesoundslibrary.com
Apply Sound Effects:
Enhance your stop motion project with effects, filters, or stylizations from the
effects panel.
Apply Titles:
To create titles, open the Title Window from the top bar, choose New Title, set
preferences for font, still or roll.
Export Your Project:
Once satisfied with your stop motion project, export it by going to File > Export
> Media.
Select desired export settings, including format, resolution, and codec.
Click Export to generate your final video file.
Review Your Exported Video:
After exporting, review your video to ensure it meets your intentions. To export
your video, go to File > Export > Media, and select either AVI (uncompressed)
or H264 to obtain MP4 format.
