PC Stop Motion

iMovie Directions

• Open a new iMovie project with the default settings but name it classID Stop Motion.
• Drag and drop your title photos into iMovie (or go to File > Import Media > select your photos). Control + click on the image & select Project Properties (screenshot on the right) and in the initial photo placement, choose "Fit in Frame" instead of Ken Burns. You are not allowed to use the Ken Burns effect since it will ruin your stop motion and cause motion sickness when viewing.

• Then import the rest of your stop motion photos into iMovie and the photos of yourself last since they will be used as the credits (all of the Ken Burns' effects should be removed). Here is an example if you do not follow the directions and remove the effect.
• Click on the first image again and go to the clip inspector to change your clip (screenshot below) duration to a number between 0:15 seconds and 0:05 depending on how fast or slow you want the photos but the final video when complete must be between 30-59 seconds long (point deduction for breaking the time rule).

• Start with a (0.00 seconds) transition duration between photos. You may need to change the photo duration and transition duration as needed to make sure you meet the time requirement.
• You also may want to change certain photos to a longer time than the others if you want to give the viewer more time to see specific photos. For example, if the image below is only 2 seconds it does not give enough time for the viewer to read it so this photo duration should be longer, like the image below that has a lot of info. Export it as a video file in the largest setting.
