First Stopmotion Test [UBER UPDATE]

Is it because the pics can be automatically sent into the computer?

No, because web cams have a live feed.

Meaning?

And that question was meant for brickfilming ...

Web cams have a live video stream from the camera to the computer, so it is compatible with programs like SMA, MonkeyJam, etc.

No wonder I can't use MonkeyJam!!!!

So what other free stopmotion program can I use besides WMM that is compatible to a digital camera?

Actually, you CAN use MonkeyJam; it has a feature which allows you to import pictures from a digital camera into the program and export as a .avi.

Care to show me a tutorial or video?
Or would you rather me do all the hard work...

No really, I am going to have it based around my sig-fig, who is a bounty hunter....
So I might do voices and all... maybe we can have a sign-up for voices....

And Maggosh, what program do you use to record voices? (other than a mic)

If you do sign-ups don't do it in the Guild area. I want to help! Although my voice sounds like crap through a mic I want to help out!

File > Import > Images...

Then just make sure you have your camera hooked up, then import from there.

But when I plug in my camera, my Upload software automatically pops up... so do I ignore it?

Well, it's your choice. You could either upload the pictures from your camera to your computer and then into MonkeyJam, or you could upload them directly from your camera. You get the same outcome either way.

Oh so I can upload them from my computer... I need to look up tutorials online.....

Also, when I import Digital photos into most programs, they "run" longer then the split-second you need for stopmotion. And with a webcam, it's easier to play back what you've done so far, to make sure everything fits, and the continuity is good. ESPECIALLY important for longer productions...

Nice, the films are cool.
