Place your camera in front of the set that you are going to photograph. Check to make sure the entire frame is in view. Otherwise, the end result will appear jumpy and lack continuity. Keep in mind that the more frames you capture, the smoother the results will appear in your final video.
Begin shooting the stop motion sequence. Move each figure bit-by-bit in very small increments each time. It may be the entire body if the figure is walking, or it may just be an arm, head or leg.
If you are moving only one body part and you find that the figure is tilting or threatening to fall over, make use of poster tack or stickum under the feet or other area touching a part of the set. Repeat the movement sequence until your action step is completed. Later use the Erase Objects from the Frames to remove the string. Just make sure to take a picture without the string at first. To help position an object in your scene you can use a technique called onion skin or ghosting to see the current frame as well as the last frames before the current frame.
Just like the different layers of an onion. Click the animation guides symbol to display a to help you position opbjects in your scene. Using the interval timer you can create a time-lapse video. A time-lapse video condenses a long period of time into just a few seconds or minutes.
Setup the camera near a window and let the interval timer take an image every second for a few hours. The resulting video is amazing. First setup up the interval timer.

Use a camera mode you feel comfortable with. A fully automatic mode may be best for beginners but will result in a movie with more light flickering. Tip: Depending on the capture source, some options may not be available. When using a DSLR camera use full manual mode for best results.
With the camera control you manually adjust camera settings. Use manual control to obtain a more cinematic look, manual control will also give you a more steady movie. If you feel the scene needs to be more darken or brighter you can control the exposure manually using the exposure compensation.
Depending on the Camera Mode you have selected some options may not be available to you. If your scene contains a lot of yellow lego figures on a yellow background, the automatic white balance might mistake all the yellow for incandescent light. The result is an image that looks sickly and wrong. Use a gray card in front of the camera and the auto white balance will work to make that gray look gray regardless of any other colors. Now lock the white balance before removing the gray card.
You will get a great-looking image without messing up all the other colors. This is the central hub where the magic happens. The movie editor allows you to capture, preview and edit your movie. It consists of two main parts. The live preview , where you can see the current frame and the the frame-by-frame editor.

You can adjust the speed of your movie in the project settings. 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.
