So after getting iMovie I quickly realized that iMovie seconds are much longer than WLMM seconds. Now this is the only major downside and I still prefer it over WLMM any day but I wanted to fix it. I tried using framebyframe but can't figure it out whatsoever, and then I thought of something, why not speed up the video as a whole? So I tried it on my intro because it didn't require any sound and it worked! All I did was save the movie like I would to upload it, then re-import it and sped up the entire video at once. But here's the problem: music becomes sped up too. Then I thought, why not slow the music down in the original to the same amount I'll speed it up later on and so when I do speed it up, the music's normal. So I tried it out, and miraculously it works, however it's a little bit of extra work, so if you have any advice to speed up a stop motion on a mac, by all means, let me know! Now to figure out overlays... XD

im sorry Ali i have NO clue im not very smart in that way XD but im sure youll figure it out!!! ♥ ya! ~Denali aka SoRandomAG
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure either, but u could maybe try asking basilmentos. Sorry I wasn't of much help! Also, can u check ur inbox on YouTube ASAP, I sent u something about etsy and it's important. =)
ReplyDeleteP.S. ^^^^^^^It's SummerStudiosAG that sent it. =)
ReplyDeleteI will make a video how to do that 2morrow *lexy
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could just add the audio after you speed it up?
ReplyDeleteHehe it's hard :P And yeah me and Anna were actually talking about it too and to my surprise she has no idea either XD Come to think of it our stop motions are the same speed though XD
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how to do any of that... I hardly know how to use windows movie maker...
ReplyDeleteI have been using iMovie 2011 for about a year and I haen't found a way :P Just try taking more pics then u usually would for ur stopmotion
ReplyDeleteThat's so smart of you to figure out Ali!
ReplyDeleteI usually put my stop motions on 0.1 seconds per photo. If you want it to go faster, you should export the movie, then do the music and voice overs :)
ReplyDeleteI use imovie 2011 and I cannot make it go lower than 0.1 seconds. I have one Question, do u had have to click on each photo and make it fit? or did u look at basil ment's imovie vids and figure it out the easy way?
ReplyDeleteOk i have a mac 2 and what i do is just click when u change the speed and i normally set it to .5 when i do stop motion thats faster! i have never had a problem with the music though...
ReplyDelete1. to keep the music the same speed you can speed up the intro WITHOUT the music, export it and add music in another project
ReplyDelete2. to do overlay, because I can't explain it I'm going to tell you to go to jewelsmra's channel and find her video, i think it's titled like how to do a shadow effect or something, idk
I kinda have a theory, If you make the stop motion in WMM (windows movie maker) export it into a usb. then go to a mac then import it to IMovie. You could use the IMovie effects and have the speed that you want from the stop motion in WMM because IMovie sucks at stopmotion framrate speed.
