Adjust the Speed of Your Movie
Customizing the speed of your movie enhances its visual impact and narrative flow. The speed is defined as frames per second or FPS. Keep in mind that the more photos you shoot, the smoother the video will be. A regular movie on TV contains about 25 frames for each second in the film. Start by using 6 frames for each second in your movie. If you feel your movie looks unsteady use 12 or more frames per second. If you would like to have an animation that lasts one second you need to split it into 12 images if you working with 12 FPS. If you use 6 FPS you only need 6 images for one second of your movie. More images per second will get you a smoother animation, but it may be a whole lot more work for you.
In Stop Motion Studio, you can adjust the speed by defining the frames per second (FPS) in the project settings. Here’s how:
Access Project Settings: While in the movie editor, use the Project Settings button
.
Modify Frame Rate: Select the FPS
option to adjust the frame rate. Drag the slider to the left to slow down the movie or to the right to speed it up.
Fine-Tune Speed: Experiment with different frame rates to achieve the desired effect. Start with 6 frames per second (FPS) for a smooth but slower animation. Increase to 12 FPS or more for a faster-paced sequence.
Apply Changes: Press Done to save your settings and close the project settings.
TIP: Utilize the pause feature to hold a frame for a specified duration, particularly in scenes without movement.
