Stop Motion Maker

Multiply the length you want by the frame rate. A 10 second animation at 8 fps needs 80 frames; at 12 fps it needs 120. Beginners often start at 6 to 8 fps, which looks charmingly jerky, while 12 fps is the classic smooth stop-motion look.

Onion skinning shows the previous frame as a see-through layer on top of the live camera view. It lets you see exactly how far you moved your object since the last capture, so you can keep movements even and avoid jumps. You can show up to 3 earlier frames and set how transparent they are.

Use 5 to 8 fps for simple toy or LEGO animations, 10 to 12 fps for smooth clay animation, and 15 fps or more for very fluid movement. Feature-length stop-motion films are usually shot 'on twos': 12 different images per second, each shown for two frames of a 24 fps film.

Yes. Press Add images and select the photos. They are sorted by file name, so numbered photos from a camera keep their order. Images with a different shape are cropped to match the first frame.

No, GIF images can't contain sound. Use Create MP4 to keep the music or voice track. The video is rendered in real time, so a 15 second animation takes about 15 seconds to create.

No. Frames are kept in memory only and never uploaded, so export your animation before closing the tab. The browser warns you if you try to leave with unsaved frames.

Allow camera access when the browser asks, and close other apps or tabs that are using the camera. If you have several cameras, choose one in the Camera list. Without a camera you can still build an animation from images.
