Hey Legodac,
What operating system are you using on your computor? I assume its windows? If it is then you can use Windows movie maker to make your stop motion's. All you have to do is import your pictures (in order) into Windows Movie maker and from there drag them into the bar on the bottom. There are a few more steps to take to make sure it looks decent...here is one of my first ones I did with Windows movie maker....Not the greatest but like I said these were my first attempts...
If you have any questions feel free to ask...
My saviour, I have many. I 've done all that you said, but I got stumped when it came time to reduce the timeline.
When I can do what you have done, I'll be where I want to be, awesome movie, sunglasses too.
Please, teach us how.
